Marjorie Taylor Greene says 'evil being defeated' after Pope Francis death

www.newsweek.com

Just hours after the death of Pope Francis, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia posted on X, formerly Twitter, "Today there were major shifts in global leaderships. Evil is being defeated by the hand of God."

Previously, Greene, a staunch ally of Donald Trump, has drawn significant criticism for her remarks about the Catholic Church, particularly for accusing it of being run by "Satan" and supporting policies she views as harmful, such as aiding undocumented immigrants. In a 2022 interview, she claimed that the Church's charitable work in helping migrants amounted to "Satan controlling the church," which sparked backlash from Catholic leaders and organizations.

So...according to Neanderthal Barbie, the Pope is evil?
- So…according to Neanderthal Barbie
  Look I'm just sayin'
- "Catholics aren't Christians" was a common phrase evangelicals used throughout my childhood.
  Yeah...
  
  I got that a lot, and it is a dividing factor within the republican party. I understand very that the Catholic Church has hurt people and not been honest about addressing the pronoun. That said, I feel like Americans should be using the existing ~~Christian~~ Evangelical values being pushed on us to suggesting Catholic leadership of the country, Catholic prayer/sacraments in school, ????. I believe it will force the Catholic Church out of the Republican party.

My mom no fucking joke said „I hope he was at least right with god!"
She's full blown MAGA "Christian believer in gods plan" and of course hates all non white Americans.
- Does you mom know that Jesus wasn't an American?
  
  Or white.
  
  She said he speaks to her, I asked when she learned arabic
- do you need to talk to your mom? Ive cut all MAGAts out of my life because if these people want to be in an "in group" (made of racists and XYZphobes) then I saw Let them have their in-group, but show them thats all they have.
  
  I did that too, until my dad had a massive heart attack. Then I realized that I was letting facist steal what little time I have left with my parents from me. From then on I decided to attempt to ignore the fact that in my eyes my parents are fucking low life scum traitors, like the rest of maga, and try to remember who they were before fox news.

Ah, so here comes the addition of Catholics to the enemies of the state.

Is she confirming Vance killed the pope? I’m confused.
- It's okay to be confused by anything MGT says or does. That's healthy and normal. It's when she starts to make sense that you need to worry.

Careful, Empty G, that's how Sinead O'Connor got banned from SNL. Don't blow your chances now!
- If Empty-G (ha!) appeared for real on SNL, would that be its Jump the Shark moment? Could she BE jumping a shark? And by Shark, I mean ...

Could use the same language when announcing her death to the world, hopefully sooner than later

Remember that Perjury Traitor Greed's middle name is "Classy".
Well, it's "Traitor", but informally people who are batshit insane Qanon twits think she's classy.

Many Catholics voted for her and this won't change their vote. Nothing matters to them but a nationwide abortion ban.
