'Good work, JD': Ann Coulter comes under fire for congratulating Vance after Pope's death

Conservative author Ann Coulter came under fire after she put out a message following the death of Pope Francis on Monday. Without mentioning anything, she posted, "Good work, JD". A day before, Vice President JD Vance met him in the Vatican on Easter Sunday for a few minutes before coming to India. "I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him. I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. But I'll always remember him for the below homily he gave in the very early days of Covid. It was really quite beautiful. May God rest his soul," JD wrote, sharing the homily.

JD Vance was one of the last visitors to meet with Pope. Pope Francis gave him rosaries, a Vatican tie and three big chocolate Easter eggs, one for each of his children.

Today there were major shifts in global leaderships.

"I hope @JDVance condemns your words. Disgusting," one user wrote replying to Coulter's post while several others found it to be in awful taste. Some defended Coulter's open-ended post and said that it did not mention anything about the Pope; and it could be for anything.

"Today there were major shifts in global leadership," Republican Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote after Pope's death. "Evil is being defeated by the hand of God."

MAGA personality Vince Langman started speculating whom JD Vance should meet next. "JD Vance has just scheduled an emergency meeting with Mitch McConnell," Langman wrote.

"I call on JD Vance to immediately meet Vladimir Putin for peace talks," liberal writer Drew Pavlou posted.

Comedian Dan Carney posted: "JD Vance do you want to meet my mother in law."

The Vatican announced on Monday that the Pope died as a result of a cerebral stroke. His death came almost a month after he returned to the Vatican after being hospitalized for double pneumonia.
