In a meeting that followed President Donald Trump’s expressed interest, Lou Prevost, the sibling of Pope Leo XIV, was welcomed at the White House. This encounter occurred shortly after Trump voiced his admiration for the pope’s brother, highlighting him as a significant supporter of the “Make America Great Again” movement.
Margo Martin, an advisor to the president, shared a photograph featuring Lou Prevost, his spouse Deborah, alongside Trump and Vice President JD Vance within the Oval Office. The image was disseminated via social media platform X.
Earlier that day, in a speech delivered on Capitol Hill, Trump expressed his eagerness to host Lou Prevost, stating, “I look forward to getting him to the White House. I want to shake his hand. I want to give him a big hug.”
The meeting’s specifics remain undisclosed, but the promptness of the occasion surprised many, as the picture surfaced on social media the same evening. Lou Prevost, a Florida resident and Navy veteran, has been in the media spotlight since his brother, Robert Prevost, was elected head of the Roman Catholic Church, assuming the name Leo XIV.
A Brother’s Perspective on the New Pope
In a recent interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Lou Prevost refuted ideas that his brother, the new pope, would adopt a “woke ideology.” Describing his brother as apolitical, Prevost noted, “He’s not left, he’s not right.” Although he recognized that his brother might be “more liberal” than himself, Prevost was clear in distancing his brother from being viewed as a “very liberal pope.”
Social Media and Public Perception
During his discussion with Piers Morgan, Lou Prevost addressed some of his own controversial social media activity. One highlighted post criticized former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s stance on tariffs, accompanied by explicit language. Prevost admitted, “I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t kind of believe it,” but acknowledged the need to remain quieter on social media since his brother became pope.
Prevost is conscious of not wanting to cause difficulties for his brother saying, “I don’t want to create heat for him, he’s going to have enough to handle as it is.” He also revealed his reluctance to engage further in media discourse, at least until speaking with his brother about these issues.
Additional social media posts by Prevost included criticisms of progressive ideologies and comments on President Joe Biden’s approval ratings. Despite these, Prevost emphasized his intention to “tone it down” to maintain harmony with his brother’s new role in the Catholic Church.
