Pope Francis Comes Out Swinging Against Trump On Day One Of His 2nd Term

Подробнее о видео

As he has done many times in the past, Pope Francis came out firmly against Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, referring to them as a “disgrace.” The Pope issued his statement on Sunday, the day before Trump’s inauguration, and this isn’t the first time that the Pope has spoken out about Trump’s xenophobia. He issued similar statements during Trump’s first term in office, calling him out over deportations and the border wall. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

I hope everybody realizes that you have to be a pretty massive scumbag in order to be called out repeatedly by the Pope. But on Sunday, Pope Francis, right? It was the day before Donald Trump's inauguration. Pope Francis came out for the third time in the last nine years, speaking out about Donald Trump's disgraceful immigration policy, specifically his mass deportation policies. This time Pope Francis said of Donald Trump's promise that he was gonna start the mass deportations on day one. Pope said, if it is true, it will be a disgrace because it makes the poor Wretches who have nothing pay the bill for the imbalance. It won't do. This is not the way to solve things.

Now, in terms of getting called out from the Pope, that is kind of mild, right? But I mean, we're not expecting the Pope to come out and be like, Hey, screw this guy. I mean, I don't think the Pope does that. I, I would like to think the Pope doesn't do that. But that is what Pope Francis said this time. Now, all the way back in 2016 when Donald Trump was still running for president on the Build the wall platform, Pope Francis came out and said this, a person who only thinks about building walls wherever they may be and not building bridges is not Christian. Then again, in 2019, Pope said this, builders of walls be they made of razor wire or bricks will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build. So that's three times in less than nine years that Donald Trump has been called out by the Pope himself, specifically saying he's not even a Christian.

If this is what he believes. He's not Christian, because a lot of Christians here in the United States who of course overwhelmingly support Republicans, including Donald Trump, don't actually know what's in the scripture. The Pope does. And look, don't get me started on all the problems that the Catholic Church has. I get that. All right. I was born and raised Catholic, and I know all the horrible things that have happened that I've called them out for that. But what the Pope is saying right here, and I do happen to, you know, like most of what this Pope has done, not all of it, but he's basically saying, look, I gotta live my life by the Bible, right? And if you're a Christian, you're supposed to do the same thing, but we are not supposed to be turning away these people. We build bridges, not walls. We help the least among us. We don't marginalize them and, and, and be just cruel and inhumane

To, to them. That is nowhere in the Bible. That doesn't happen. Well, I mean, it does happen, but it's also, you know, condemned when it happens. And that's the point. There was a time when I think Christians in the United States understood what Jesus meant when he said, whatsoever you do, to the least of my people, that you do unto me. And if they still held that belief, they would not be supporting this convicted felon, this man that you could go through all of the 10 Commandments. And he's pretty much broken, almost all of them, as far as we know, almost. But they still rally behind him. The Bible also has some pretty specific, uh, passages about that as well. But this is where we're at. The Pope, the leader of the Catholic Church, is out there calling out the brand new president of the United States as he has had to do for the last nine years. But is that gonna have any impact on the, uh, so-called religious folk here in the United States? Probably not because they would rather listen to the Charlatan than the actual religious person.
