Democrats accused of hypocrisy for slamming Trump 'pope' meme

[Michie]

Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., were among the Democrats who drew accusations of hypocrisy on social media for expressing outrage at an AI-generated meme of President Donald Trump as pope, despite flouting core Catholic teachings.

Trump and the White House's official X account prompted debate over the weekend for a fake picture showing Trump adorned in papal garb and a crucifix while extending his finger. Trump joked to a press gaggle last week that he would be his own "number one choice" to be pope before noting he has "no preference."

While Trump's meme drew dismay from conservative Catholics, including Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who told reporters in Rome that "it wasn't good," some also suggested that the outrage Hochul, Lieu and other Democrats expressed was selective and fake, noting the litany of anti-Catholic incidents and sentiment during the Biden administration that went without criticism.

Color me surprised.

Not to mention when Harris supported the drag group that mocks Catholic religious sisters.

Well the complaints were not so much about the offense but who did the offense. I blew it off. Too many other things to be concerned about than a failed joke. But I did find it fascinating how some that spurn religion in general were all up in arms about it. Transparent it is…

It’s ridiculous. It almost sounds like an unhealthy obsession. Yikes!

It’s pathological imo. I have experienced public figures I don’t like but it does not consume every thought. You got to move on and do what you can. But if there is anything I can’t stand, it sudden concern under false pretenses. Again, transparent. It certainly does not fool me.
