Tomi Lahren Sparks Debate Over Trump Pope Meme Backlash

Tomi Lahren simply cannot keep quiet over the latest from the meme wars having together stirred so much fury by putting the President in the papal chair. The conservative took to Twitter to ditch the outrage, writing, “Oh spare me your outrage on behalf of Catholics…”. There were, however, other interesting reactions to Lahren’s remarks.

Some agreed with her. One dared to write, “I’m Catholic and found it very amusing.” Another opined, “Making America Laugh Again.” The detractors also had everything to say: they described it as, “disgusting, disrespectful,” while another went on to say that Trump was ashamed of his history. Ouch!

Then came the classics from the whataboutism arsenal. ‘Did you care that Biden pretended to be president for 4 years?’ asked a commenter. ‘If Biden did that as a joke, do you think Fox News would let him get away with it?’ The tit-for-tat was endless-draining everything from Trump’s legal troubles to Biden’s policies into the mix…

Needless to say, her rigor antagonists could not pass the chance either. Kyle Hardin hit back: ‘You’re the one that’s always the angriest, you pathetic cow,’ and another who dismissed her statements as ‘false Fox News headlines.’ And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Twitter—where the chill is extinct, and nothing else thrives but chaos.

What is indeed crazy is how Catholics themselves were split. The one side was genuinely scandalized: a slap in the face of their faith. Others? Just laughed heartily and let it go. One said in jest, ‘This would be awesome, then he’d have to live in the Vatican and not in America as president!’

Of course, as always, Lahren’s tweet managed to stir the pot. One thing for sure: whether you find the meme hilarious or utterly blasphemous, people seriously care about it. That, in itself, coming from a hyper-polarized era, should come as no surprise.

So, did the joke really go too far? Or is it another Trump-ism clamoring for some quick attention? Either way, the internet and Tomi will use every single minute to keep this alive.
