Despite feeling national pride over the fact that the Chicago-born Prevost has become the first American pope in history, conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and complained that he is “worse than Francis,” referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.
“In case you're wondering why they picked an American to be a Pope for the first time in history,” MAGA influencer Vince Langman, sharing a 2015 tweet of Prevost criticizing Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric, whined. “He's a WOKE Never Trumper liberal. That's why!”

(14,427 posts)(CBS) "The Chicago-born pope — formerly Cardinal Robert F. Prevost — is registered to vote in the Chicago suburb of New Lenox, Ill., and has a mixed voting history of participating in primaries for both parties, according to voting records shared with CBS News and data from the Illinois State Board of Elections."
"There is no party registration in Illinois, but to vote in a primary you have to choose a party's ballot to vote on. Prevost has voted in more Republican primaries than Democratic, and the last primary election he voted in was the 2016 Republican presidential primary."
"He last voted in the 2024 general election, though it is not known what party he voted for."
"This is according to records, shared with CBS News by GOP consultant Jared Small, of Prevost's files from 'L2 Data,' a paid service used by political campaigns that has access to individual voter files provided by each state. CBS News has reached out to the Will County Clerk's Office for copies of this data as well."
"He voted in the Republican primaries in 2012, 2014 & 2016, including the presidential primaries in 2012 and 2016."
"L2 Data records show he last voted in a Democratic primary in 2010. He had also voted in the party's presidential primary in 2008."
"He has voted in at least nine general elections, including in five presidential election cycles: 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2024. There's no record of him voting in the 2016 or 2020 general election."
"Records show he also voted in a 'consolidated general election' in April 2001, when local Illinois offices were on the ballot."
