MAGA Mike Just Lectured Pope Leo On How To Be A Pope
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a part-time theologian, while eyeing the Pope like he's reading the fine print on a vending machine, joined in with his party to bash Pope Leo. This should go down well, given that there are approximately 53 to 62 million Catholics in the United States and the midterms are around the corner. Keep it up, guys.
And since Mike is an alleged deeply religious man, it's bizarre to hear him tell the Pontiff how to Pope during a press conference.
"Listen, I'm not one to criticize clerics and religious leaders," he said. "We defend free speech. We certainly defend the right, the free access of religion, and a pontiff or any religious leader can say anything they want. But obviously, if you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response."
"And I think the Pope's received some of that," he continued. "I was taken a little bit aback, just honestly, frankly, by something that was said. I think he said several days back that something about those who engage in war, that Jesus doesn't hear their prayers or something. It is a very well-settled matter of Christian theology."
