JD Vance, a Catholic convert who occasionally has sparred with church leaders over their criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, said in an interview on Fox News Channel on Monday night that the president’s social media post with the Jesus-like image was “a joke.”
“Of course, he took it down because he realized a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor,” Vance said.
He repeatedly dismissed the focus on the president’s fight with the pope, saying it “isn’t particularly newsworthy” and there will be disagreements from time to time with the Vatican.
But Vance also suggested the pope should stay in his lane.


Ha ha, joke about being the false idol of christianity. So funny. No one gets heresy humour anymore, people are usually so open minded about religion too go figure! /s
Jesus Christ.
That’s Dr. Jesus Christ to you, tyvm
I like the demon in the background of the photo in the sky, it really clarifies the situation. I like to think of it as the witch king behind the unblinking eye as others have posited.
