Louis Prevost, the unapologetic brother of newly minted Pope Leo XIV, has doubled down on a vile social media post slamming Nancy Pelosi. The 73-year-old MAGA enthusiast shared a video from 1996, captioned with a slur calling the former House Speaker a “drunk c–t.” Actions have consequences, and Prevost’s defiance is stirring the pot.
The New York Post reported that before his brother, once Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, ascended to the papacy last week, Louis shared the crude post from another user. This wasn’t a one-off; it’s a window into his hard-right worldview.
The video itself discussed tariffs, but the caption’s venom aimed squarely at Pelosi. In a Monday sit-down on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Prevost didn’t flinch.
“I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t kind of believe it,” he declared, as if that justifies the vitriol. His refusal to backpedal shows a man more loyal to his MAGA badge than to basic decorum.
Prevost, a self-professed Trump fan, admitted his brother’s election as Pope Leo XIV caught him off guard. “I’ve been very quiet, biting my tongue,” he claimed, suggesting he’s holding back worse. If this is restraint, one shudders to imagine his unfiltered takes.
The interview wasn’t just about the Pelosi post; it peeled back layers on Prevost’s views. He’s a proud “MAGA type,” and his brother, he says, doesn’t share his firebrand conservatism. That’s probably a relief for a Church already navigating choppy waters.
Pope Leo XIV, per Louis, won’t be a radical. “I don’t think he is going to pull the church hard left,” Prevost said, dismissing any “woke” leanings. The pontiff’s middle-of-the-road approach might disappoint those craving a culture war crusader.
Louis offered a glimpse into what Pope Leo XIV’s leadership might look like. No gay marriage or women priests, he predicted, keeping the Church’s traditional guardrails intact. Progressives hoping for a seismic shift can keep dreaming.
Yet, Prevost hinted at some openness. He believes his brother will welcome gay people into the Church, much like Pope Francis. It’s a small olive branch, but don’t expect rainbow flags flying over the Vatican.
Women might fare slightly better, though not as priests. Prevost suggested Pope Leo XIV could place women in advisory roles. It’s a crumb of progress, but hardly the feminist revolution some might wish for.
The interview took a spicy turn when Prevost mused about a potential meeting between Pope Leo XIV and President Trump. “There will be some bumps in the discussion,” he predicted, foreseeing “heated conversation.” Two strong-willed leaders clashing? Grab the popcorn.
Prevost doesn’t think they’ll be enemies, though. His confidence suggests faith in his brother’s diplomatic chops. Still, picturing Trump and the Pope hashing it out is peak political theater.
The Pelosi post, while ugly, is a footnote in Prevost’s larger narrative. His MAGA fervor and unfiltered style contrast sharply with his brother’s measured papacy. Family reunions must be a hoot.
Prevost knows his antics could cast a shadow. “I don’t need to create heat for [Leo],” he admitted, acknowledging the Pope’s already heavy load. Yet, his defiance suggests he’s not ready to fully zip it.
The Catholic Church, under Pope Leo XIV, faces a world of challenges—cultural, political, and spiritual. Louis Prevost’s outburst is a reminder that even the Pope’s family can stir the pot. Blood may be thicker than water, but it’s not thicker than headlines.
