The MAGA Republican and Donald Trump apologist, tweeting a photo of Pelosi and Pope Francis together, wrote, "Just two communists."

It is difficult to say, Tenney, which is greater: your ignorance or your insolence.— GH Chat (@GH Chat) 1633882963
Hey, some small child got hold of your phone. A child with no understanding of the word "communist" and a name calling child. Give the phone back to your mother.— colleenpatricia (@colleenpatricia) 1633963616
