Asked to comment on the pope’s words that “God does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war,” Karoline Leavitt responded that praying for veterans is a noble thing to do. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with our military leaders or with the president calling on the American people to pray for our service members and those who are serving our country overseas,” Leavitt said.
