‘Woke Marxist Pope’: MAGA Melts Down Over New Pontiff
Leo XIV has criticized Trump administration policies
The world has a new pope.
And Donald Trump’s MAGA supporters aren’t happy.
The first American pope in history has actively criticized a number of the Trump administration’s far-right and authoritarian policies.
Cardinal Robert Prevost — now Pope Leo XIV — posted several times on his social media about these issues.
Leo became the 267th pope Thursday, succeeding Pope Francis, the progressive pontiff who died the day after Easter Sunday.
And several prominent Trump supporters clearly are displeased.
Laura Loomer, a right-wing influencer on social media and a confidant of Trump’s, posted: “WOKE MARXIST POPE.”
She also posted: “Meet the new American Pope. Of course he’s anti-MAGA and WOKE. Another Open Borders Pope. Gross.”
Mike Cernovich, another MAGA influencer, posted: “I suspect that this new Pope, a shitlib, is going to have many Catholics exploring Orthodoxy.”
And Megyn Kelly, a longtime right-wing journalist and podcaster, posted, derisively: “Is it too much to hope that some 20-year-old ran the new pope’s X account and he never looked at it?”
