The media are really hoping Pope Leo XIV will do something to Catholic Vice President J.D. Vance. This writer imagines they hope Pope Leo XIV will pull out a whip or issue a letter excommunicating Vance. Or something.
They're desperate for anything they can use as a political cudgel against Vance.
Like The Daily Beast, who have a very funny definition of 'spurned,' it seems:
Pope Leo XIV spurned JD Vance on Sunday, offering him a quick greeting after his inaugural mass while holding extensive private meetings with other world leaders. https://t.co/C38vP8Do8R

That was, of course, a lie.

You are full of s**t.

The Pope even gave the VP Vance & his wife gifts to take home to their children. pic.twitter.com/5mUTKGPTfP
A private audience AND gifts?
Pope Leo XIV sucks at spurning people.
Lol, you’re pathetic.

Very pathetic.
In a self-respecting profession, face-planting this badly would get you fired. Luckily for y’all, that standard doesn’t apply to journalism.

Journalism has one standard these days: ORANGE MAN BAD.
Useful reminder that the hacks at @thedailybeast like @CorbinBolies publish fake news slop on a daily basis.

If you're reading the trash this website puts out, you might want to check in 24hrs later when whatever you’re reading from these clowns is proven false 🤡 https://t.co/BngCsNGZuu pic.twitter.com/XrnEPDryee
They're nothing but hacks.
Contrary to this narrative, Pope Leo XIV met privately with Vice President JD Vance today.

The Vatican also set up a meeting with Vance and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy on Sunday.
Vance also met with EU President Von der Leyen and Italian Prime Minister Meloni. https://t.co/2G8J2lB2Ur pic.twitter.com/AqztLA4G6z
Ah. So they lied.
The media just cannot help itself.@JDVance @SecRubio @WhiteHouse @PressSec https://t.co/aO48HB2nu1

They cannnot.
“Spurned” and “snubbed” is apparently when you get a private meeting and tour with the Pope.

Someone should send The Daily Beast a dictionary so they can learn what words mean.
@thedailybeast lies about everything. https://t.co/OzG8of4Yfa
