Beyond Oak Park: Trump grapples with Pope Francis
First it was Megyn Kelly. Then it was Jeb Bush. Now, Trump has taken aim at Pope Francis, who questioned the GOP frontrunner’s Christianity given his stance on immigration. Trump responded by calling the Pope’s comments “disgraceful.” However, Trump decided to tone down the tiff at the South Carolina town hall debate in order to avoid alienating Catholic voters.
