The brother of newly-elected Pope Leo XIV shared a pro-Donald Trump post online that labeled Rep. Nancy Pelosi a “drunk c***”, according to a report referenced by the New York Post.
Pope Leo was named the 267th Pope on the fourth ballot last Thursday, three weeks after the death of his predecessor, Pope Francis. In doing so, Leo – born Robert Prevost – becomes the first American to become a pontiff, and used his first Sunday address to appeal for no more war.
As per reports, the new Pope’s brother, 73-year-old Louis Prevost, meanwhile appears to be an ardent MAGA supporter with little to no love for the Democrats.
His political leanings were outlined in a series of pro-Trump posts that he posted online, included one he shared where he took aim at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
One particularly bullish post saw him share a video of Pelosi speaking in 1996, accompanied by the caption: “These f–king liberals crying about tariffs is just unreal.
“Do they not know that there is a thing called video? Just listen to what this drunk c— has to say In the mid 90s long before her husband had grindr dates.”
Other sources claim that he also expressed his belief that Democrats should be arrested for treason for meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Daily Beast added that he had shared a meme with a picture of a mental institution with the caption: “Where the woke lived before the ‘70s.”
Interestingly, Pope Leo retweeted a post this year that was critical of Vice President JD Vance. The new pontiff and his two brothers, John and Louis grew up in the Chicago suburb of Dolton, Ill.
After his brother was named Pope, Louis told the New York Times: “Jeez, it was like just yesterday, I was throwing him down the stairs. And now he’s pope!”
Louis Prevost, the older brother of Pope Leo XIV, tells @ChrisCuomo he nearly "fainted" when he found out his brother had been chosen as the next pope.

“I think he’s going to be similar to [Pope] Francis, but maybe not quite as liberal-minded, you know, flexing the church rules quite so much,” Louis added. “I think he’d be a little more conservative.”
Speaking to CBS News, Louis said: “As soon as [a church official] went ‘Ro-,’ my mind blew up, because I knew ‘Ro-‘ was going to turn into Roberto. And sure enough, Roberto Francisco.
“And I went nuts. I lost it. Mind blown. My little brother was just made pope. Oh my God. What do I do? How do I act? Do I have to change the way I live? I better behave now.”
