Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost, was exposed as a woke fraud with myriad social media receipts from his time before leaving the two-day papal conclave in May of 2025 as the next head of the Roman Catholic Church. Prevost succeeded Pope Francis of Argentina after the latter passed away the month before; he became the second consecutive Pope from the Western Hemisphere and first from the United States.
For context, there has been a burgeoning feud between President Donald Trump and Prevost after the Pope issued messages overtly political in nature. He condemned the president’s actions in Iran and has recently – and will be seen, long before – supported open borders and mass immigration of the third world into Europe and the United States.
“It’s fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope,” wrote the account KanekoaTheGreat on Elon Musk’s X, which at time of writing has been seen over one million times. A screen shot of the post was also highlighted by Trump on his personal Truth Social account as it calls into question the sincerity of the Pope’s beliefs. Is he arguing from a position of deeply-held Christian faith, or is this yet another case of his religiosity actually being rooted in secular progressivism?
Indeed, as the X user put it, Prevost’s posts and reposts put him ‘somewhere between Rachel Maddow and The View.” For instance, in screen shots of his old account with the handle @drprevost show him engaging with his social media echo chamber on topics ranging from climate change, open borders, gun control, racism, George Floyd, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and negative views of President Trump stretching at least back to 2017.
“Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd…The account was deleted the day he was elected,” Kanekoa wrote on X alongside four screenshots of past posts. To emphasize, the account was deleted when he ascended to the papacy, no doubt in part to hide this leftist bent.
Screenshots of past posts include comments on Trump, particularly on matters of immigration. He retweeted an article and post declaring ‘Why Donald Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric is so dangerous’while also condemning the president’s meeting with arguably one of the most successful Central American leaders, Nayib Bukele of El Salvador. Bukele has famously cracked down on gang activity and locked up criminals, something the soft-on-crime Pope vehemently opposes.
In another post that he retweeted, the Pope fell for the ‘kids in cages’ hoax that AOC notoriously took a photo op for at a random fence. “There is nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from their parents and warehouses them in cages. This is being carried out in our name and the shame is on us all.” The cages, meant to ensure minors were being released into custody of family members, were assembled in 2014 by Barack Obama.
In yet another, Prevost attacked Vice President JD Vance for remarks about prioritizing American citizens over illegal aliens. “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others,” he wrote while sharing a link to an article expanding on that. Of course, he never has comments about immigrants refusing to assimilate to their new home culture; just to the people whose nations are being taken over.
Commenting on his original post, Kanekoa then hilariously commented that these and other countless views landed Prevost in the political land of some of the most obnoxious lib voices on television. “Robert Prevost’s politics were somewhere between Rachel Maddow and The View. Now he’s Pope Leo XIV.” he added, before sharing even more screenshots from his social media timeline.
Like all good Democrats, he was active during the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. “Thank you! We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice,” one post stated. He also advocated strongly for Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from U.S. custody and took issue with Donald Trump’s assessment of many illegal criminals being ‘bad hombres,’ focusing on his choice of words as opposed to whether or not the aliens actually were awful people.
