Awkward Clip Of JD Vance Meeting Pope Leo Sets Social Media Ablaze
HuffPost
Social media is having a field day with the seemingly tense exchange.
The internet thinks that Pope Leo XIV appeared to give Vice President JD Vance the cold shoulder Sunday after his inaugural Mass in Rome, and social media users are reeling over the questionable moment.
The Catholic convert was one of the last officials to meet with Leo’s predecessor, Pope Francis, who frequently criticized the Trump administration, particularly its extreme immigration policies.
Vance’s meeting with Francis at the Vatican less than 24 hours before the latter’s death also sparked criticism from social media users, who made joke memes claiming that the Catholic leader’s death was caused by the vice president’s visit.
In a clip shared on TikTok showing Vance’s Sunday interaction with Leo, Vance can be seen approaching the head of the Catholic Church with his wife, Usha Vance.
The couple shake hands with Leo while having a brief conversation. Naturally, TikTok users had a lot to say about the pope’s body language during the seemingly strained moment, with many taking guesses about how the Chicago-born pontiff felt in that moment.
