The weekend edition of The Irish Times carried a story on Trump and the Pope, written by Patsy McGarry.
The following paragraph reads: Safe to say Pope Leo is not popular in Maga circles then? No. On his election last May, leading Maga activist Laura Boomer posted on X that Leo was “anti-Trump, ant-Maga pro-open borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis.”
McGarry asks the question is it safe to say Pope Leo is not popular in Maga circles. He answers, No, (it’s not safe). Surely the double negative means he is popular in Maga circles.
At the least it’s confusing, at the worst, it’s simply wrong.
And should it not be pro open-borders and not pro-open borders?
The Irish Times, the paper of record?
Maybe it does make sense and can be explained to this blogger.
