‘God and the Sword’: JD Vance says Pope should 'be careful' when talking theology

U.S. Vice President JD Vance faced hecklers during a speech at a Turning Point USA event on Tuesday (April 14), where he said Pope Leo should "be careful when he talks about matters of theology." Vance's comments at a Turning Point event in Georgia come after the pope had emerged in recent weeks as a growing critic of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The Vice President's remarks were interrupted by an audience member shouting, "Jesus Christ does not support genocide." Vance defended the current administration's work to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.
