Pope Leo XIV

It’s no secret that the gang at CNN aren’t exactly fans of President Trump’s strict immigration policies. But the election of a new American Pope on Thursday has at least some at the network hoping that Leo XIV will be able to get through to Trump in ways that others could not because — wait for it! — he speaks English.

MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera almost rained on MSNBC’s celebration of the election of Pope Leo XIV.
