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.


No no, don’t even give him that credit of sanity. He didn’t say it was to show support for the Red Cross, he said it was him as a doctor who had to do the Red Cross. Not show support of the Red Cross. Not a doctor with the Red Cross. Not helping people like they do in the Red Cross.
Had to do the Red Cross. You know, as if it were some action or procedure someone could perform.
Even when criticizing this dumbass, it’s like we can’t help but whitewash his deteriorating mental status.
Exactly.
He probs thought Red Cross was an underage girl or something.
He probably meant “about to part the Red Cross.”
