Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested Thursday that even self-described Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) might be “too far to the right” for Pope Francis.
Limbaugh’s comments came in reaction to the pontiff’s assertion that Donald Trump’s desire to build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico was “not Christian.”
“The Pope says that Donald Trump is not a Christian, because Christians do not build walls, they build bridges. Never mind that the Vatican is surrounded by a wall and we won’t even talk about who built that wall, but that’s what the pope said,” Limbaugh told his audience on Thursday. “And given the pope’s political leanings I’m surprised he isn’t on the campaign trail for Bernie Sanders. But maybe Bernie Sanders is too far to the right for the pope.”
Trump’s social media director had also pointed out the walls around Vatican City earlier Thursday on Twitter.

Really, TPM? A Limbaugh comment? That’s scraping the bottom of the barrel for clickbate.
Bernie: Rush is right, I am not a Christian.
Hold your tongue Rush, His Holiness hasn’t got around to you…you Satanist!!!
So, Pope is a commie, then?
That is where Limpdick is going with this, right?
Rush: Of course Trump is not a christian. None of the good ones are. We all support Death Penalty. We want all those who disagree with us to just die as in… killed; Of course we are not Xtians. Thanks for the enlightenment Pope.
