MAGA Brands New Pope 'Woke' After His Past Tweet Criticizing JD Vance Resurfaces

After Cardinal Robert Prevost became the first American pope, a tweet from February resurfaced in which he shared an article criticizing Vance for "ranking" his love for others.

After Cardinal Robert Prevost, a Chicago-born pope who ministered in Peru and later led the Vatican’s influential bishops’ office, made history as the first American ever elected pope in the Church’s 2,000-year history, a tweet from February resurfaced in which he shared an article criticizing Vice President JD Vance for "ranking" his love for others—and MAGA is not happy about it.

Pope Leo XIV emerged as the new leader of the Catholic Church after white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Thursday, signaling the successful election of a pope. The decision came on the second day of the conclave, surprising many observers and Church experts who had anticipated other contenders and did not expect an American to be chosen.


But this American sure is angering MAGA supporters now that they've become aware of an article he shared that criticized Vance.

Vance said during a Fox News interview on Jan. 29:

"There is a Christian concept that you love your family and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens, and then after that, prioritize the rest of the world."
"A lot of the far left has completely inverted that."

Prevost shared an article criticizing Vance because "Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others," which reads, in part:

"The point wasn't about setting limits on love. It was about breaking them down — taking the gospel beyond familiar spaces and into contested ones. If anything, those of us in the United States are the ends of the earth, unimaginable to the earliest Christians. And yet, the gospel has already reached us."
"The real question is not whether love begins at home. It's what we do with it — how far we are willing to change ourselves and the world around us."

Notably, the new pope previously criticized the Trump administration on social media for Trump’s “anti-immigrant rhetoric” back in 2015, and later reposted messages criticizing the death penalty, mass deportations, and Congress’s failure to act on gun reform after mass shootings.

MAGA fans are not happy about this.


The Pope even got Loomered!

People found the MAGA anger hilarious.

It's well known that the Trump administration uses social media to stoke a divide between their supporters and those they've admonished as "Radical Left Lunatics"—and while the new pope didn't mention the administration directly, he's previously made comments about the incendiary ways people use social media to suit their nefarious aims.

Back in 2023, he said, "The world today, which is constantly changing, presents situations where we really have to think several times before speaking or before writing a message on Twitter, in order to answer or even just to ask questions in a public form, in full view of everyone.”

“Sometimes there is a risk of fueling divisions and controversy,” he added. (Sound familiar?)

Despite the ways the new pope is sure to butt heads with the Trump administration's policies, he's been celebrated the world over.

Newspapers in Peru highlighted that the new pope holds dual citizenship, noting his years of missionary work and service as bishop of Chiclayo, a city in northern Peru with roughly half a million residents. In Rome, thousands packed the Via della Conciliazione, celebrating the historic moment as the first American pope was introduced to the world.

Ellen DeGeneres Just Tried To Mow The Lawn At Her Sprawling UK Estate—And It Went South Fast

Say what you may about Ellen DeGeneres, but we can all agree that she's always tried to find the funny side in a situation, even if it's something that should be as mundane as mowing the lawn.

DeGeneres left the talk show scene in 2022 after allegations ran rampant about her running a toxic workplace, so when President Donald Trump was elected for a second term, it seemed the perfect time for the entertainer and her wife, Portia de Rossi, to look for greener pastures, namely in the U.K.

Musk Ripped After Explaining Why He's So Adamant About Colonizing Mars Right Now

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after explaining to Fox News personality Jesse Watters that he's set on colonizing Mars to ensure that human life continues once Earth is destroyed by the Sun—which is odd, because that eventually is billions of years away.

The Sun, our life-sustaining star, is essentially a massive nuclear reactor, continuously converting hydrogen into helium through fusion and radiating energy outward. But like all stars, it has a finite lifespan. Scientists estimate that the Sun will exhaust its core hydrogen supply in about five billion years, marking the beginning of the end of its stable life.
