57. You cut off the quote and left out the most important part. LOL!!!

Here's the full quote.

“When I came down, I greeted him, I shook his hand and nothing more. This is called good manners and it is not getting involved in politics,”

The Pope was RESPONDING TO a Reuters reporter who asked him if the meeting with Sanders was a political endorsement or a political statement.

The response was about those who seek to politicize all of this! Clearly. It was not a comment about Bernie.

Nice job of cutting off the quote and misrepresenting not only the comment, but the question that was asked that sparked the Pope's comment.

Wow!! I mean...you guys aren't even trying to hide your lies and manipulations.
