Vice President Vance Tells Conference of Bishops To ‘Look in the Mirror’ After It Complains About Trump Immigration Policies

Vice President Vance, who is a practicing Catholic, forcefully pushed back against the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on Sunday after the religious group criticized President Trump’s new executive orders related to immigration, deportations, and refugee resettlement. The vice president says the bishops may be complaining only because of the vast sums of money their charities raise for migrant services.
