Lemon LIVE at 5 | A New Pope & MAGA Outrage - May 8th, 2025
from The Don Lemon Show · host Lemon Media Network
The conclave has spoken and the world has a new Pope. He’s a centrist, aiming to balance tradition with modernity. But of course, that’s not sitting well with the MAGA crowd, who were apparently hoping for a pope that quoted Fox News and issued communion with a side of culture war. Now, right-wing Twitter is in meltdown mode, accusing the Vatican of “going woke” (because what isn’t woke these days?) and demanding a pope who reflects their version of morality.
