In a segment that aired on Tuesday’s episode of The Daily Show, Klepper highlighted the MAGA world’s hypocrisy over calls for Pope Leo — who has criticized Trump’s war in Iran — to stay out of politics.
“Pope needs to stay, just stay religion. Keep politics out,” one woman told Klepper. “Should politics stay out of religion?” Klepper asked her. “Uh, yeah,” she replied.
Klepper followed up: “Should there be the Ten Commandments in schools?” “Yes,” she answered, adding that prayer should be included too. Klepper called out the inconsistency: “Going back to that whole thing about: ‘Pope stay away from politics,’ ‘politics stay away from religion,’ ‘Ten Commandments, put it in school.’”
“Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” he asked the woman. “Yes. I know what you’re saying, I know what you’re saying, I know what you’re saying, but...” she responded.
Klepper added, “OK, just because it makes me feel crazy.”
