The eldest brother of Pope Leo XIV defended his decision to share a social media post that referred to California Representative Nancy Pelosi in derogatory terms, stating on Monday, “I would not have posted it if I did not somewhat believe it.”
Louis Prevost did not express remorse for the vulgar remark directed at the former House Speaker while speculating to Piers Morgan about President Trump’s initial meeting with the next pope. This extensive interview with the pontiff’s brother, who identifies as a supporter of Donald Trump, coincides with reports from media outlets regarding a series of Facebook posts that Prevost, 73, either shared or authored prior to his brother—formerly known as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost—being appointed as Pope Francis’ successor.
One particularly offensive post included a video shared by Prevost from another social media user featuring Pelosi in 1996 discussing tariffs, accompanied by a commentary that included the derogatory term.
I shared the post, and I would not have done so unless I had some belief in its content,” Prevost stated during his appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” before expressing a degree of regret.
