It's NOT his duty to have a meeting with the former Obama administration and Democratic operatives, and then go on a week long rant against the sitting president of the United States that happens to be in opposition to those Democrats.
It's NOT his duty to tell America that it has to ignore the rule of law and allow tens of millions of illegals to be in our country, sucking off the US tax payer, and breaking our laws.
It's NOT his duty to be a partisan political operative.
And if you want to go into it being his duty to condemn suffering ... then where is his condemnation of the Iranian regime that wants nuclear weapons so that they can destroy America and Israel and our allies in Europe .... where is his condemnation of the Iranian regime for mass murdering by the tens of thousands innocent peaceful protesters in their own country ... where is his condemnation of Iran for attacking innocent people around the world via proxies Hezbollah, Houthis, and 'palestinians' ... where is his condemnation of the attacks on Christians in Africa by Muslims ...

That's funny. OF COURSE it is okay for the president to verbally attack a person who has attacked him and our country politically. Just because the pope is the leader of a church doesn't give him a free pass from being called out for his words. And no, no one has to 'turn the other cheek' when being criticized. People are allowed to stick up for themselves and point out the flaws in the other persons attack.
The pope attacked first. And he did so after visiting with Democrat operatives. He's acting like a political activist hack. So what he gets back in response is his own fault and perfectly justifiable.
Yup.
Obama, from Chicago
Axelrod, Obama operative and messenger, from Chicago
