Did Marjorie Taylor Greene Thank God for the Pope's Death? Her Post Revives Trump's Decade-Long Papal Feud

US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene sparked backlash with a cryptic message on social media made after Pope Francis' death.

Hours after the passing of Pope Francis was announced, US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene sparked backlash with a cryptic message on social media. On X (formerly Twitter) the Georgia Republican wrote, 'Today there were major shifts in global leaderships. Evil is being defeated by the hand of God.'

Although Greene didn't mention the pope directly, the timing of her statement, which was made only a few hours after the Vatican confirmed Franci's passing, left many wondering whether she was celebrating the pope's death. At the same time, it was also pointed out that her post was also made around the news of Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, stepping down after five decades in leadership.
