MTG Celebrates Death Of Pope: “God Defeated Evil”

The New Republic reports:

MAGA Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared to mock Pope Francis’s death on Monday, calling him “evil.”

“Today there were major shifts in global leaderships,” Taylor Greene wrote on X, alluding to the death of one of the world’s most influential religious leaders without naming him directly. “Evil is being defeated by the hand of God.”

This is par for the course for a far-right congresswoman who has expressed that she thinks Catholic bishops are “destroying” the country and that the Catholic church as a whole is “controlled by Satan.”

This is absolutely appalling. I’m not catholic, but I would suggest that any catholic out there reconsider support for this…. Bridge troll https://t.co/r5e3nK09f0

“God killed the evil pope!” is a claim straight out of the KKK from a century ago. Not sure it’s the message the sitting VP and his fellow Catholics are longing to hear from MTG (MAGA-until death, GA) https://t.co/smZoDKsxGB

Marjorie Taylor Greene calling Pope Francis “evil” is another in a long train of anti-Catholic messaging.

Here’s her saying she left the Catholic Church because “Satan’s controlling the Church”.

We’d ask her about the Nazi funding and appeasement but we know her take on Jews. https://t.co/Hq6HEXx5Tg pic.twitter.com/8IL73LdK4P

Your God is an asshole @mtgreenee.

Actually, more specifically, your God is a 34-count felon and court-adjudicated rapist.

I really hope the hell you ghouls believe in exists. https://t.co/gbE5YQ2Vdi
