Vice President JD Vance defended a controversial meme of Donald Trump as Pope in a response to Bill Kristol's tweet. Kristol condemned the meme, which was shared shortly after the death of Pope Francis, prompting Vance to criticize Kristol for his previous support of the Iraq War. Vance asserted the importance of humor, contrasting it with the consequences of war. Despite Kristol's further comments on Ukraine and politics, Vance did not continue the exchange, recalling his recent meeting with the Pope as a blessing.
As a general rule, I'm fine with people telling jokes and not fine with people starting stupid wars that kill thousands of my countrymen.
Hey, @JDVance, you fine with this disrespect and mocking of the Holy Father?
And I'm fine with people who do really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another, and with people who don't support the AfD.
I think it was a great blessing, Vance said. I try to just remember that I was lucky that I got to shake his hand.
