Conservative radio host Ben Ferguson lauded President Donald Trump for his response to the elevation of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the first American pope, Leo XIV. Ferguson argued that Trump's reaction demonstrated growth compared to his past stances, showing he could separate politics from the significant religious milestone. Trump's congratulatory message emphasized national pride and excitement. Contrasting views emerged from Bakari Sellers, who questioned the sincerity of Trump's praise and stressed the importance of love and empathy over political optics. This exchange highlights differing opinions on Trump's approach to handling potentially contentious situations.
I think this is exactly why I think there's some people tonight that should give some credit to President Donald Trump for the way he responded, because I think that's probably maybe a little different than what he would have said in 2016.
Even when Donald Trump does something right on the pope, you're now saying, I'm still going to criticize him? No, because, I mean, it's this is not an issue of politics. This is an issue of things like love and empathy, and truth.
