JFK's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, jokingly implicated JD Vance in a bizarre social media conspiracy that claims the politician killed the Pope as part of an antichrist trend sweeping across platform X. The peculiar online movement has gained traction on social platform X, accusing Vice President JD Vance of murdering the Pope following a fateful encounter with him the day before his untimely demise. The crucial meeting between Vance and the holy figure took place on Easter Sunday, April 20th.

In a heartfelt homage to the Pontiff, Vance posted an image of their encounter, captioning it: "My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him. I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill."

Vance's post sparked a flurry of allegations from netizens, many branding him the "Anti-Christ" and blaming him for the Pope's death. The beloved Pope Francis succumbed to pneumonia-related complications after a prolonged illness. Schlossberg caused a stir on his official account by posting, "Okay JD killed the pope," sans accompanying visuals. While several followers concurred with comments like "probably," others displayed evident irritation at the insinuation, reports .

One person chided, "That's a pretty serious accusation lad." Another questioned the taste of the remark, stating: "Are you kidding with this? Just not funny - total disrespect." Another commenter sarcastically warned of legal repercussions: "Libel lawsuit coming in 3, 2, 1.... Good luck with that."

Notably, Vance, who embraced Catholicism during his adulthood, met with Vatican dignitaries over the weekend. His Easter Sunday rendezvous with the Pope occurred just before a trip to India. Tragic fallout has ensued following the death of a revered figure, with some pointing fingers at a certain individual, denouncing him as a "walking disease" while others decried him as a "living curse," echoing the sentiments voiced when Queen Elizabeth II passed away mere hours after her encounter with Britain's supposedly most ill-fated Prime Minister, Liz Truss.

A netizen remarked: "Liz Truss killed The Queen. JD Vance killed the Pope. Can we just stop these people hanging out with the elderly?" Another noted the chilling pattern: "Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, the Vatican has announced. His last official visitor was US Vice President JD Vance. Will remind of Liz Truss visiting Queen Elizabeth II shortly before the monarch's death."

The rendezvous with Pope Francis was an unexpected addition to Vance's itinerary on his Italian sojourn. Insiders suggested that securing even a transient moment with the pontiff not only fulfilled a personal aspiration for Vance as a Catholic but held significant political importance too.

Allegedly, Vance sought this visit as a diplomatic salve to mend frayed relations. The pope had openly criticized former US President Donald Trump, condemning his anti-immigration stance.

In 2016, he doubted Trump's Christian faith due to his fixation on building walls rather than bridges; more recently, he dubbed Trump's immigration policies as "an ugly thing" and decried his deportation measures as a "disgrace." Trump extended his sympathies on his X account after the Pope passed away, writing: "Rest in Peace Pope Francis! May God Bless him and all who loved him!"
