MAGA Media attacking Pope Leo XIV [View all]

Yesterday, on WABC (New York City) James Golden, a/k/a Bo Snerdley, was riffing on the Pope. Not for the good life he has lived. Not for the hope the papacy engenders.

No. He took almost fiendish delight that he and the station were the first to "out" the Pope.

What that meant was "researchers" had done a genealogical study on Leo and found not only Creole heritage in New Orleans, but his maternal grandparents were both African-American. And somehow that made him suspect.

Mind you that James Golden is ALSO African-American.

This guy was nearly giddy with hubris and mockery with this "discovery". And inviting callers to share their distaste for the new Pope on this element alone.
