HOT TAKES: The Outrage From the Left Over Trump's AI Pope Meme Is Peak Hypocrisy, Total Hilarity

Twenty-four hours after President Donald Trump posted an AI image of himself in full papal regalia on his Truth Social account, heads are still exploding over it. Our editor Bob Hoge reported about the meme, and how the Left is full-on losing their minds. As Hoge noted, Trump’s “Art of the Troll,” is probably stronger than his “Art of the Deal,” and the varied reactions–from outrage, to confusion, to hilarity, to pure rage–reflect this.

But it is the outrage on the Left, a majority of them not even Catholics themselves, that is rich. 

Then there are the ones who are not only offended, but who need to tell you why YOU should be offended. 

Anyone whose handle is “The Liberation Theology Podcast,” a belief system that is an aberration of and an offense to fundamentalist Christianity, has no call to talk about what is and is not offensive.

But, I digress… 

This concern-trolling screed supposes that Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio should be equally offended, and should have advised Trump not to post the meme.

@realDonaldTrump, This kind of ill-mannered American college boy banter is deeply offensive, because for Catholics the Pope is the representative of Christ on earth. I suppose it will also be offensive to your Vice President @JDVance and your Secretary of State @marcorubio @SecRubio, who are practising Catholics. Why don’t you also joke by dressing up as the Grand Ayatollah, or the Dalai Lama, or the Grand Rabbi? In politics you can play with everything but the faith and religion of the citizens. Are there no advisors in the White House who dare to tell you things?

Then there is former Republican and moral compass Bill Kristol, who also concern-trolled the vice president about what his response should be to Trump’s meme.

Vance responded, not missing a beat, by pointing out Kristol’s faux concern, as well as his hypocrisy.

Ooh. That’s gonna leave a mark on this virtue-signaling death merchant.

Speaking of rank hypocrisy and arbiters of death, NY Gov. Kathy Hochul decided that she must speak on behalf of her fellow Catholics about how “deeply offensive” Trump’s meme is, especially while they are mourning the death of Pope Francis.

As a rabid pro-abort, Hochul has no ounce of grief or compassion for babies in the womb. In November 2024, Hochul praised New Yorkers for voting to pass Amendment 1, which embeds so-called “reproductive rights” into the state constitution. In her speech praising the passage of the measure, Hochul claimed abortion is a “human right.”

WATCH:

The Catholics who do not support the extinguishing of life in the womb, as well as those babies aborted under her watch, would like a word.

But Kristol and Hochul are in good company. These are the same people who refused to condemn the abomination pictured above: The “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” and their mockery of the Catholic Church.

The same people who vociferously defended France when they chose to mock the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris.

And lest we forget, the same people who laughed at and praised this debasement of the Eucharist by Michigan’s Democrat Gov. Gretchen “Big Gretch” Whitmer.

So, the Left’s offense over Trump’s Pope meme, and their fake concern for Catholics and their faith, will blow over as soon as Trump deports more criminal illegals, further toys with tariffs, or starts jailing activist judges. Once that happens, these highly (im)moral souls will go back to their mockery of faith and people of faith. They simply cannot help themselves:
