Lou Prevost, a proud MAGA supporter from Port Charlotte, Florida, has become the unlikely focus of a national media frenzy — not because of anything he did in politics or religion, but because of who his brother is: Pope Leo XIV.

Florida Conservative Under the Microscope

In the days following Leo XIV’s historic election as the first American Pope, leftist media outlets have turned their attention toward Lou Prevost — digging through years of social media posts to paint a picture of extremism. What they found was a no-nonsense patriot who doesn’t shy away from calling out Democrat hypocrisy.

One viral post shared by Prevost mocked “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and used blunt language to call out former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In the clip, Prevost spotlighted Pelosi’s 1996 support for tariffs — contrasting it with her later attacks on President Trump’s tariff policies, exposing the left’s selective outrage.

Liberal Media Targets Pope’s Brother

Prevost’s unapologetic defense of President Trump and his critique of liberal politics have become ammunition for progressive journalists eager to undermine Pope Leo XIV by association. Some are even suggesting that the Pope should answer for his brother’s opinions — a move critics say smacks of political desperation.

But conservatives are pushing back. They say Lou Prevost is being targeted not for anything criminal — but for daring to believe in faith, freedom, and the Constitution.

Pope Leo XIV Distances from Partisan Labels

The left’s obsession with Lou Prevost’s MAGA politics has only grown due to the Pope’s own murky political past. Voter records show he once voted in Republican primaries, though he’s also voiced disagreement with some Trump policies. That hasn’t stopped the media from trying to tie him directly to his brother’s outspoken views.

Conservatives argue this is nothing more than guilt by association — a desperate smear tactic aimed at undermining the Pope’s growing influence among traditional Catholics, many of whom are fed up with the left’s war on faith and family values.

As the attacks continue, Lou Prevost remains defiant. He’s not backing down from his beliefs, and he’s not about to apologize for standing with Trump and calling out the radical left.

In the America First movement, it’s clear: you don’t have to wear a white robe in the Vatican to stand for truth — sometimes, a patriot in Florida does just fine.
