CONSERVATIVES WILL BE GUNNING FOR 'MARXIST' POPE FRANCIS AMERICAN LEO XIV
A far-right activist [Laura Loomer] and Trump ally harshly criticized Robert Prevost, the first American Pope in history, calling him a "Marxist puppet" over messages he amplified on social media.

Laura Loomer, who has met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, responded to a post from Prevost which included a link to a piece written by Cardinal Michael Dolan in 2015 and which criticized then-candidate Donald Trump's "anti-immigrant rhetoric."
Vance had already come under fire earlier this year from Catholics and religious leaders after he accused the "far-left" of hijacking Christian ideology to fit their narratives during a Jan. 29 Fox interview.
"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," Vance told Fox back then.

Maga says Pope Leo may be American, but he's not 'America first' | NBC News |
Catholicism has rarely been more prominent in US politics as the Trump administration openly embraces advisers and officials who proudly say faith has shaped their politics.
But any jubilation on the American Make America Great Again right about the new Pope this week quickly dissipated as key voices from Donald Trump's Maga movement came to a disappointed conclusion: the first American Pope does not appear to be "America first".
Little is known about the political leanings of Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago.
He has voiced concerns for the poor and immigrants, chosen a name that may reference more liberal church leadership, and he appears to have both supported the liberal-leaning Pope Francis and criticised the US president's policies on social media.
But the president so far has said only that Leo's election was a "great honour" for the US. Still, some of Trump's most prominent supporters were quick to attack Pope Leo, lambasting him as a possible challenge to Trump and on the perception that he will follow Pope Francis in areas like immigration.
"I mean it's kind of jaw-dropping,"Trump's former chief 'strategist' Steve Bannon told the BBC on Friday, speaking of Leo's election.
"It is shocking to me that a guy could be selected to be the Pope that had had the Twitter feed and the statements he's had against American senior politicians," said Bannon, a hard-right Trump loyalist, practising Catholic and former altar boy.
Altar "boys" or former altar boys do sin 🤣 does Bannon want a medal for this feat?
Bannon would have preferred banned Cardinal Raymond Burke former Archbishop from my former home town of St. Louis. 😂
