JD Vance Ignores Pope Leo's Plea for Politicians to Stop Being Ass*holes Online War crimes, gas chamber “jokes” and online outrage collide with Pope Leo XIV’s plea: log off and love harder.

#JDVance has made it clear he’ll excuse #hateful antics as youthful shenanigans — the real #crime, in his mind, is calling them out.
Now, contrast this with #PopeLeo approach to the digital age. #American born #pontiff has been begging people to step back from the brink of online vitriol.
