At Pope Francis’s funeral, world leaders gathered to pay their respects to the deceased Bishop of Rome. However, Joe Biden was placed so far back in the crowd that you could barely see him. Reacting to the humiliating moment, conservatives piled on with their jokes in the comment section, mocking the irrelevant Democrat.
For context, Pope Francis’ health has been declining for months, with rumors swirling about his condition as he went in and out of the hospital for pneumonia complications. Shortly after the Pontiff met with Vice President JD Vance on Easter Sunday, the Vatican announced his passing.
In any case, the hilarious photo was posted by a prominent conservative influencer on April 26, 2025. He said, “LMAO! They put Biden in the back at the funeral of Pope Francis. Look at how lost he looks ,” which produced widespread laughter.
Continuing the trend. Paul A. Syzpula, another popular conservative, posted a video of the same event. He joked, “President Trump and First Lady Melania were flanked by the leaders of the world at St. Peter’s Square for the funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday. Joe Biden was there too, but they had him so far back in the crowd that nobody noticed.”
Reacting to the Pope’s abrupt passing, Trump officials posted their condolences on social media. As we reported, Vice President JD Vance said, “I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him.”
Continuing his social media post, Vance declared, “I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. But I’ll always remember him for the below homily he gave in the very early days of COVID. It was really quite beautiful. May God rest his soul.”
In his statement, President Donald Trump ordered that all flags be flown at half-mast as a sign of respect for the controversial pope. He proclaimed, “As a mark of respect for the memory of His Holiness Pope Francis, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America.”

Concluding his remarks, Trimp declared, “I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of interment.”
When the official White House Twitter account posted a message to memorialize the life of Pope Francis, conservative commentators shared messages of support in the comments. One such reply read, “With respect, I honor the Pope’s role as a spiritual leader guiding millions in faith, hope, and compassion. May his efforts for peace and unity be recognized.” Another comment said, “So proud of President Trump and First Lady Melania for honoring Pope Francis with such grace. They represent America beautifully! #Trump #Melania”
