Controversy Sparks: MAGA Reacts to Old Leo XIV Tweets Critiquing Trump, Highlighting His Haitian Heritage

Cardinal Robert Prevost, recently elected as the first American Pope, has a history of opposing Donald Trump’s immigration policies well before his election on May 8. Critics from the MAGA camp took to social media to express discontent. Yet, supporters argue his views resonate with Christ’s teachings, emphasizing compassion over political allegiance. Amid these tensions, responses to his ancestry reveal a mixed reaction. Prevost’s Haitian roots have sparked pride, particularly within Black Catholic communities, challenging certain narratives and prompting discussions on representation in the Church.
