Worth noting: many of these extremists are devotees of "The Camp of the Saints," wherein the social justice catechism of the Church is explicitly caricatured and mocked, and where the Pope and much of the clergy are portrayed as naive fools complicit in The Great Replacement.
The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.
Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.

“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

That includes:

Bernie Sanders warns the Democrats who are thinking about betraying their base and caving on this pathetic deal that they should go home and talk to their constituents.
Again, I think they've already thought about how their constituents will feel about this and responded accordingly.

This alleged deal guarantees a BILLION dollars in spending for security and police at the Capitol, and then a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that will surely lose.
Not sure a billion will even be enough but OK.
