Washington • A spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is stirring debate with a series of tweets enthusiastically backing President Donald Trump and striking out at Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Kamala Harris of California.
Judy Keane, who has been director of the conference’s office of public affairs since 2016, shared the tweets and likes on her personal account, jkeanepr, which identifies her as “dir public affairs, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.. Opinions expressed are my own.”
Among the tweets that began gaining attention last week was one on May 29 that responded to Newt Gingrich criticizing former special counsel Robert Mueller.
