... His ringtone plays the opening riffs of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.” He incurred $20,000 in roof damage from Hurricane Ian. And until recently, anyone could read his Facebook posts, which included vulgar potshots at Nancy Pelosi and her husband and a pronouncement that supporters of Joseph R. Biden Jr. suffered from a “mental affliction.”
...Among other things, he reposted an old video of Ms. Pelosi, under which the author of the original post referred to her with a vulgar sexist epithet. The original post also insinuated that Ms. Pelosi’s husband, Paul, was gay,
...By Monday, Mr. Prevost was a guest on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” where Mr. Morgan read some of the posts back to him. “It’s quite lively stuff for a bloke who’s now the pope’s older brother,” the talk show host said.
“Well, I posted it, and I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t kind of believe it,” said Mr. Prevost, who added that he would “probably tone it down” now that his brother was the Vicar of Jesus Christ.
... Mr. Prevost said that after the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israelis by members of Hamas, “I’d have flattened Gaza and made it a parking lot.”
In his interview with Mr. Morgan, Mr. Prevost said that he had “backed off a lot of media” since being criticized for his online posts, and was looking forward to talking to the pontiff about them and finding out if he had felt any blowback.
“But he knows I am who I am,” Mr. Prevost said of the new pope. “He’s well aware of my positions. He knows I’m probably not going to change, and I don’t think I will, other than to, just as you say, tone it down.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Ah-ah-ah-AH!
That’s ok. We know who’s corner you’re in
It would be cool to have a Maga-red first brother....kind of a Billy Carter 2.0
Sounds like doesn’t want to be come the Vatican version of Billy Carter.
LOL. I wonder what his FR name is.
There is a precedent. Joni Mitchell said "They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot."
He might add "Big yellow Popemobile took away my brother."
Maybe Weird Al Yankovich could advise on the rewrites.
There is so much fun to be had in this that I don’t know where to start. It really is like Pope Leo XIV has his very own “Billy Carter”.
That very well may be a reality.
I think Mr. Prevost and I could be friends. I like somebody who tells me what they really think.
HE IS SPOT ON ABOUT PAUL PELOSI
Can you imagine having a boob like that for a brother?
I wonder how Louis puts up with it?
If he plays the Viking Kittens version he just might be a FR member!
Obviously Lou is over-the-moon proud of his brother and has indicated that he’s heading to Rome for the big “installation” Mass.
The pope’s brother should respect tradition. There were 13 earlier Pope Leos and none of their brothers was active on social media.
The brother should have said, “Jesus wears a MAGA hat too... but my brother wears a pointy one that looks like silly, like a dunce cap.”
