MAGA cultists are absolutely losing it at criticism of Trump on the new pope’s old Twitter account, and the internet is here for it
The Catholic Church has a new leader, the former Cardinal Robert Prevost of Chicago, the first North American pope, now to be forever known as Pope Leo XIV.

Plenty of Americans were pleased to see their countryman get his feet into the famous red shoes.
Habemus papam – May God bless Pope Leo XIV of Illinois.
Jill and I congratulate him and wish him success.

What a wonderful decision by the Conclave to choose the first American Pope! Leo XIV, when he was a Cardinal, urged the world to move “from words to action” on the environmental crisis facing the world. His leadership as Pope will be so crucial on this vitally important issue.

Michelle and I send our congratulations to a fellow Chicagoan, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. This is a historic day for the United States, and we will pray for him as he begins the sacred work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example for so many, regardless of faith.

Here’s how Donald Trump greeted the news.
That warm welcome may not last once the president spots Pope Leo’s former tweets. Here’s a sample –
Wow—this one’s a mic drop from the new Pope.

Self-proclaimed white nationalist, Laura Loomer – the conspiracy theorist who was rarely away from Donald Trump’s side during his second campaign for the White House – was on it like a rat up a drainpipe.
She had plenty of support from the MAGA cultists in her replies.
Others, however, enjoyed the levels of MAGA cope.

Is MAGA claiming that the papal conclave was rigged because they don't like their new woke Pope?
