Block-headed loud-mouthed knuckle-dragging Troy Nehls (R-TX): "We didn't elect the Pope to be our president" [View all]

Speaking to a reporter from the Meidas Network, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) said the Pope needs to "keep his business in leading his flock" and "stay out of the political arena." Nehls' comments came after President Donald Trump attacked the Pope on social media, calling him "weak" on crime and "terrible on foreign policy." Trump has also said that the Pope should not criticize the U.S. president or his policies.

"He doesn't need to be getting involved in the political arena," Nehls said. "Go lead your church, but stay out of the politics. We didn't elect the Pope to be our president, or to be anything else. So, just keep his nose in the church's business and stay out of the political arena."
