Analysis Summary
Gasparino sarcastically questions the 65% of Catholics who support the Pope despite his criticism of Trump's Iran war rhetoric, characterizing papal positions on war and immigration as 'cover for the American left.' The 65% figure is unverifiable against current polling; major surveys show 78-84% of Catholics view Pope Leo XIV favorably overall, but don't break down by this specific metric. The underlying claim treats doctrinal Catholic teaching as partisan alignment, which depends on your perspective on whether papal opposition to war is inherently 'leftist.'

“The Pope is running cover for the American left”
