Republicans love claiming the US is a Christian nation.

They are, of course, incorrect.

Nevertheless, they tend to want to intertwine church and state more than the constitution allows for…for decades.

But as soon as the Pope says something they disagree with, time to jump ship.

Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down.

Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade spoke out against Pope Francis‘ visit to the United States during his Fox News Radio show, Kilmeade & Friends.

The admitted Catholic told Fox News colleague Chris Wallace that “some of [the Pope’s] comments just have no place” in America, and that “he’s in the wrong country” to try and deliver any political messages.

Wallace was understandably taken aback by Kilmeade’s comments, so the radio host explained himself further.

“He doesn’t like capitalism,” said Kilmeade.

“He blames us and money for what’s going on in the Middle East.”

In addition, the Fox & Friends co-host also ridiculed the Pope’s comments on climate change, noting that the U.S.

was “doing more than anybody else” and that Francis should “get on China” instead.”*
