Megyn Kelly Dumps On Pope Francis Shortly After His Death

The right-wing commentator found a way to criticize the pontiff and elevate Trump at the same time.

Right-wing commentator Megyn Kelly criticized Pope Francis for one of the crusades of his papacy ― mercy for the world’s migrants ― just hours after his death Monday at age 88. (Watch the video below.)

On “The Megyn Kelly Show” she brought up his public rebuttals of President Donald Trump’s anti-migrant missions during both terms. The pope once said something to the effect that building walls instead of bridges was not Christian and that mass deportations damage peoples’ dignity and make them vulnerable, she recalled. He also called mass deportation a “disgrace.”

Kelly accused the Catholic Church of transporting and finding housing for migrants “irrespective of the fact that they’re here illegally,” Kelly said. “And Pope Francis didn’t have to deal with that.”

“It’s caused a lot of us in the Catholic Church to wonder what exactly we’re donating toward on Sunday, it really does,” she added.

The former Fox News host went directly after the late church leader for “this tug-of-war going on between the pope’s messaging and what he wanted us to believe were deep Catholic teachings, and what we understand as Americans who are watching our citizens murdered in the streets by these people to be true.”
