## Terror Attack Follows JD Vance in India After Pope Death

Authored by dailydot.com

Global misfortune seems to be following Vice President JD Vance, as he and his family visit India following a trip to the Vatican.

On Sunday, Vance briefly met with Pope Francis, hours prior to the pontiff’s death on Easter Monday.

My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him,” Vance wrote yesterday.

But the timing of the passing quickly sparked a slew of jokes that the meeting with Vance finally did the Pope in.

“Usha and I extend our condolences to the victims of the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India,” Vance posted.

Following the attacks, @R3DFOX_hive suggested that Vance “is actually cursed,” while @JamesLe28779865 warned that Vance “better stay” in Ohio “as a hillbilly.”.

Vance’s four-day visit to India comes as the U.S. and India hold trade negotiations amid President Donald Trump’s tariff war. »
