I'm like, maybe it'll all be okay.

Well, this article, it just goes to show always trust MAGA, always trust the war room.

They always have the right take.

This article firmly put all of that optimism that I had momentarily to bed because I have never read a more jaw dropping article in my life.

And that says a lot.

I've also never heard a more ill-timed,

Poorly strategized and poorly thought out public pronouncement from any public figure of any time ever.

And I'm going to have to read the quote in full.

So forgive me for reading from my notes.

But Pope Leo told assembled journalists, like you said, coming back from a trip to Lebanon where he held a mass in Beirut.

He said, one of the great lessons Lebanon can teach the world is showing a land where Islam and Christianity are both respected and that there is a possibility to live together, to be friends.

He went on, in Europe, fears are present, but often generated by people who may be from another country, another religion, or another race.

I would say that we all need to work together.

And he finally said that the example of Ramadan would be important also to be heard in Europe or North America.

So using Lebanon, holding Lebanon up as an example of sectarian success is genuinely the most insane thing I have ever heard.

And I don't even know how I can put the words together to fully express it.

It's disingenuous.

No.

I mean, look, I think this to me, the best, putting the most sort of seal man argument on this, the best you could say is maybe this is a comment he would want to make in private meeting in a non-denominational or a multi-faith room.

And you're trying to put a best foot forward in meeting a mufti or doing some sort of high level kind of kid gloves diplomacy.
