  • Shortly after the announcement, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X: 'Today there were major shifts in global leaderships. Evil is being defeated by the hand of God.'
  • The post has been widely interpreted as a celebration of the Pope’s death, though Greene has not clarified its intended meaning.
