Kim Kardashian angered some Argentinians after posting a tweet about Pope Francis that one journalist misinterpreted.
On Thursday, the reality star tweeted: "The pope is dope," and the hashtag #thepopeisdope has been trending on Twitter ever since the Pope began visiting the United States.
The pope is dope
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) September 24, 2015
Around 18,000 people retweeted Kardashian's message, but somehow the phrase got lost in translation. According to the Hollywood Reporter, a journalist for website Primicias Ya thought Kardashian said, "The Pope is Drugs," commenting, "it cannot be interpreted as positive."
The article's headline read: "Did Kim Kardashian Attack The Pope?"
Oops! Perhaps the reporter should be issuing a mea culpa.
Keen readers defended the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star, writing comments including: "Here in America, Dope is when something is good, extraordinary. Inform yourselves before posting nonsense."
