Washington, 14 Sep (HS):- Criticising both Donald

Trump and Kamala Harris, Pope Francis appealed to the people to elect the ‘Lesser

of the two evils’. Ex-President Donald Trump is against immigrants and

Vice-President Kamala Harris supporting abortion rights.

Pope described Trump’s stance on immigration and

Harris’ support for abortion rights as contrary to the value of life. During a

press conference aboard the Papal plane, Francis remarked “One must choose the

lesser of the two evils. Who is the lesser of two evils? That lady or that gentleman?

I don’t know.” He urged voters to reflect deeply upon their decision.

The New York Times reported that 87-year-old Pope

Francis made the comments while returning to Rome from his Southeast Asia and

Oceania tour. He was on an 11-day Asia-Pacific tour during which he stayed at

Jakarta, East Timor, and Singapore.

Pope said not allowing immigrant people to live and

killing a life in the womb is cruelty.

Replying to a question about the situation in Gaza, Pope

said seeing dead bodies of children and knowing about the bombing a school is

horrific. “I do not see any step towards establishing peace”.
