Peter Thiel has now attacked Pope Leo XIV three times. The first came in a leaked lecture last November, when he suggested the pope was a tool of the Antichrist and said he’d urged JD Vance to ignore him on moral questions.

Here's the thing: The New York Times report this ad was based off said that Marshall had patients arrested for owing as little as $114 *total.*
They can try to pull the 'this pregnant mom was no angel' if she were the only person he'd had arrested but there are dozens more such cases.

2. The ad "frames" the arrest on the $50 instead of her "total" debts to Marshall...of $3,600 at 18% interest.
Holy crap. Marshall was charging her 18% INTEREST???
Yeah, I'd call that "preying on low-income families."
