During a phase with British speak present host Jeremy Vine, Purkiss admitted to being shocked by the picture the president posted.

“I’m just gonna say this, right? I am a person that was raised a Catholic — I did all the sacraments, I read the book, you know,” she stated, including that whereas she has misplaced her “faith,” she nonetheless finds Trump’s put up “deeply, deeply offensive.”

Then she went scorched earth on the president.

“No wonder he doesn’t like the pope,” she added.

Trump’s put up got here whereas his present battle with Iran has been closely criticized by Pope Leo XIV, the Catholic Church’s first American-born pontiff.
