Mess him up, Franny

As we've noted before, one of the best ways to make the Fair 'n' Balanced homepage is to hit -- or slam, or blast, or punch back. So sparks must have flown when Trump yanked the old Argentine firecracker's chain once too often, right?

The Vatican responded late Tuesday to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's criticism of Pope Francis' plan to visit the border wall that separates Mexico from the U.S.

Don't hold back, Fox! Let's see how it started:

... In an interview with Fox Business Network last week, Trump said that he did not believe Francis understood what he called "the danger of the open border we have with Mexico."

"I think Mexico got him to [visit the border] because Mexico wants to keep the border just the way it is because they’re making a fortune and we’re losing," Trump added.


Because you know who's going to finish it, right?

In a statement, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said, "The pope always talks about migration problems all around the world, of the duties we have to solve these problems in a humane manner, of hosting those who come from other countries in search of a life of dignity and peace."

Oh.

Anyway, you can see how they might have gotten confused there. No doubt this one took a few calls from the bunker to clarify who was the good guy and who was the bad guy.
