While the President of the United States congratulated Pope Leo XIV, his supporters had other ideas. On social media, MAGA supporters and several Republican influencers
MAGA-suporters furious over Pope Leo election win
Not long ago, Prevost publicly criticized VP JD Vance and expressed sympathy for immigrants and George Floyd. As per Independent, one Trump supporter stated Leo was a “woke Marxcist Pope,” adding that he is “worse than Francis.”
Alt-right conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich took to X, writing, “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.”
Pro-Trump social media personality Joe Mannarino mentioned that Pope Leo had previously attacked JD Vance and “begged Trump to open the borders like Biden had them.” He added that “this guy is worse than Francis,” and called Leo a “liberal piece of s***” and insisted that “we’re f**cked.”
MAGA influencer Vince Langman was in rage after Pope Leo XIV had been elected, bringing up a 2015 tweet from Prevost where he criticized Trump’s anti-immigrant statements.
“He’s a WOKE Never Trumper liberal. That’s why!” Langman wrote as per the Independent.
Even before the election, supporters of the MAGA movement showed their disapproval if Provost became Pope. Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon told Piers Morgan last week, “I do think one of the dark horses — and unfortunately one of the most progressive — is Cardinal Prevost… he’s certainly on the shortlist.”
