Pope Leo labelled 'anti-MAGA woke Marxist puppet' by Trump ally in scathing first day attack

The president may be celebrating, but not all his allies are...

The first ever US pope in history has been confirmed, but not all Americans are celebrating the momentous occasion.

While president Donald Trump was quick to express the 'honor,' right-wing political activist and internet personality Laura Loomer shared quite the opposite view.

On May 8, white smoke billowed out the Sistine Chapel chimney, and along with it came the announcement that Cardinal Robert Prevost had been elected as the 267th pontiff.

Being born in Chicago, this marked him as the first ever American pope.

Since, his comments on Trump's policies from a fair few years back have resurfaced on social media - and Loomer - a controversial figure and self-confessed 'proud Islamaphobe,' as per the BBC - didn't hold back with her scathing remarks.

Prevost had reposted a tweet which reads: "As Trump & Bukele use Oval to Feds’ illicit deportation of a US resident, once an undoc-ed Salvadorean himself, now-DC Aux +Evelio asks, 'Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?'"

The Independent also reported Prevost resharing a tweet which reads: "There is nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from their parents and warehouses them in cages. This is being carried out in our name and the shame is on us all."

The newly elected pope has also hit out at Trump's vice president JD Vance, resharing an op-ed from the National Catholic Reporter titled: "JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others."

Loomer - a vocal Trump supporter whose conspiracy theories include that 9/11 was an inside job - didn't hold back.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, she slammed Prevost as an 'anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist' - 'like Pope Francis'.

"Catholics don’t have anything good to look forward to, she added. "Just another Marxist puppet in the Vatican."

In another post, she simply wrote: "WOKE MARXIST POPE."

Loomer made headlines last September after reports swirled that she was behind Trump's decision to fire members of the National Security Council she deemed disloyal—though Trump has denied her involvement.

She's previously claimed that Kamala Harris is not black, and that the son of billionaire George Soros was 'sending cryptic messages calling for Trump's assassination', the BBC also reported.

Her strong views - particularly against Muslims - have led her to be banned from social media platforms and even rideshare services like Uber and Lyft.
