Conservative pundit Ann Coulter posted a provocative tweet hours after the news of Pope Francis’ death Monday. “Good work, JD,” Coulter posted to X. Francis died after Vice President JD Vance briefly met with him on Sunday to exchange Easter greetings. Francis, who had been recovering from a near-fatal bout of pneumonia, received Vance in one of the reception rooms of the Vatican hotel where he lived. The 88-year-old pope offered the Catholic vice president three big chocolate Easter eggs for Vance’s three young children, who did not attend, as well as a Vatican tie and rosaries. “I know you have not been feeling great but it’s good to see you in better health,” Vance told the pope. “Thank you for seeing me.” Francis, history’s first Latin American pontiff who charmed the world with his humble style and concern for the poor but alienated conservatives with critiques of capitalism and climate change, died Monday. “At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church,” Cardinal Kevin Farrell said from the chapel of the Domus Santa Marta, where Francis lived. Francis, who suffered from chronic lung disease and had part of one lung removed as a young man, was admitted to Gemelli hospital on Feb. 14, 2025, for a respiratory crisis that developed into double pneumonia. He spent 38 days there, the longest hospitalization of his 12-year papacy. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
