MAGA Stars Lose It Over Pope Leo XIV's Anti-Trump Tweets
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Pope Leo XIV's social media presence is causing quite the stir.
Shortly after news broke that he had been selected as the new pontiff, observers began scouring over his X account for clues as to his leanings.
It wouldn't take Sherlock Holmes to decipher them. His last post on the platform was a retweet that read "As Trump & Bukele use Oval to Feds' illicit deportation of a US resident ( https://bit.ly/3ROMjnP), once an undoc-ed Salvadorean himself, now-DC Aux +Evelio asks, 'Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?'"
A few posts down, Leo XIV shared articles about Vice President JD Vance's explanation of ordo amoris , one of which bore the headline "JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others."

As a result, President Donald Trump's most faithful fans online are not taking to the new pope especially well.
"THIS IS THE NEW POPE!" wrote Laura Loomer , the self-proclaimed "white nationalist" with considerable influence on the president. "His name is Robert Prevost. He's the first American Pope. He is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis. Catholics don't have anything good to look forward to. Just another Marxist puppet in the Vatican"

His name is Robert Prevost.

Catholics don't have anything good to look forward to.
Just another Marxist puppet in the Vatican. https://t.co/S45vZ8IaKM

"The new Pope once retweeted a post about how we need to keep praying for career criminal & drug addict George Floyd . The tweet said, 'May all hatred, violence and prejudice be eradicated.' What prejudice? Is that another way to spell FENTANYL OVERDOSE? MARXIST POPE! @drprevost," she added in a follow-up.

"According to his X/Twitter feed (@drprevost), the newly selected pope trashed Trump, trashed Vance, trashed border enforcement, endorsed DREAMer-style illegal immigration, repeatedly praised and honored George Floyd, and endorsed a Democrat senator's call for more gun control," lamented Sean Davis , CEO of The Federalist.

"Is it too much to hope that some 20-year-old ran the new pope's X account and he never looked at it?" wondered Megyn Kelly .

Charlie Kirk speculated that Leo XIV may have been chosen because the conclave wanted "a voice that is also for the opening of American borders while we have President Trump."

They appointed a leftwing American Pope to counter rising national populist sentiment and the movements like MAGA who champion them," submitted MAGA pollster Rich Baris .
You can find many of these seeming to support what @seanmdav and others have claimed.

"New Pope is anti-MAGA," declared Grace Chong of Steve Bannon's War Room show. "Prevost is the guy Pope Francis wanted to succeed him."

Sorry, Catholics. This new Pope is an open borders globalist. He will be pushing for abortion soon. This isn't a guess. You can scroll his X account and see what he's been up to. pic.twitter.com/5twb7eyQ8a

I know I have plenty of Catholic followers, I hope that Leo XIV is a great Pope and a wonderful steward for the Catholic Church.
But…seriously? An American who publicly criticized Vance and Trump on immigration in his few public statements? Really?

Despite the outrage, the new pope would appear to hold very traditional Catholic views on issues like abortion, transgenderism, and homosexuality.

"Fwiw [for what it's worth] the new pope is more conservative on abortion and gay marriage than Trump and MAGA are," observed John Daniel Davidson , also of The Federalist.

For his part, the president himself celebrated Leo XIV's ascension on Truth Social, writing Congratulations to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost , who was just named Pope," shortly after the news broke on Thursday.
"It is such an honor to realize that he is the first American Pope," he added. "What excitement, and what a Great Honor for our Country. I look forward to meeting Pope Leo XIV. It will be a very meaningful moment!"

People like Laura Loomer are a cancer on our society, and her influence with Trump appears to be growing.
It's been documented that the new pope has been soft on pedophile priests.

It's been documented that the Catholic church has been soft on pedophile priests. Why do you feel the need to point at one single individual?
I'll pass on the obvious joke ...
Not to defend the Catholic Church but listening to MAGAites crawl out of the sewer to attack the new pope on behalf of their rapist-in-chief can't be left unchallenged. Here's what the article linked actually says...
Were there ANY candidates for the Pope who couldn't be accused in one way or another of the same thing? I don't think it's a stretch to say every Catholic priest or cardinal or Bishop in power in the church over the last century could have taken more action and been more transparent. The only reason the MAGAites are bitching about this specific pick is that he dared to speak out against their Dear Leaders whiny little bitch JD.
MAGA can’t control the pope and he doesn’t agree with them 100% of the time. Therefore, he is a left wing radical who must hated, feared, and publicly attacked. They’re a cult of bully cowards.
God bless him.
anti-maga = pro-american.
More ridiculous, emotive propaganda from a mindless Trump sycophant trying to scare people with the 'Marxist' label. This is just too stupid for words.
I have heard that the new pope is considered by people in the Church to be fairly moderate on most issues. But unless he comes out and says that all Democrats are going to Hell, MAGA will call him a Marxist.
it seems the jesus cult has a difficult time embracing their liberal savior ...
