MSNBC on New Pope: On His Social Media Account, He Reposted Criticism of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance

TRANSCRIPT:

WALLACE: “Pope Leo XIV is a voice on many of the issues we cover on this network and on this program, day in and day out. Here’s what we know. On his social media account, he reposted criticism of J.D. Vance’s interpretation of the Gospel. He also retweeted a post of an op-ed that was critical of Donald Trump’s deportation policies, an op-ed that read in part: ‘Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?’ As Pope, Leo XIV will confront challenges facing the church like the inclusion of LGBTQ plus Catholics, the role of women in the church, and Catholicism’s growth in Asia and Africa.”
