I am aware of what Pence did while Governor and what he has said. He's a
hateful old white man who has no business claiming to be a follower of
your jesus.
.....

What’d he say that was “so hateful?”

Is that on paper or in your head?



Look it up. Here's a starter for you.

As governor of Indiana, Mr. Pence opposed gay marriage and signed
into law a bill that made it legal for businesses to cite religious
freedom when refusing service to gay and transgender people, for example
a bakery that refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.

As a member of Congress, Mr. Pence voted against employment
nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people and also
voted against the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

His opposition to gay rights goes back at least to his first
congressional campaign, in 2000, when he opposed same-sex marriage and
the nondiscrimination laws that protected LGBT people.

He also argued for public funding of conversion therapy and said
federal funding for HIV/AIDS treatment should be renewed only if the
government could certify that no money went to “organizations that
celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the
spreading of the HIV virus,” according to an archived version of his
campaign website.

Pence blocked the resettlement of Syrian refugees in Indiana — and
illegally tried to cut off federal aid to existing refugees.
Pence issued an executive order to block the resettlement of Syrian war
refugees in Indiana. Not content to keep new war widows and orphans out
of the state, Pence upped the xenophobic ante by also trying to cut off
federal aid to those already in the state. A federal judge blocked
Pence's action, writing that the governor's order "clearly constitutes
national origin discrimination" and "in no way directly, or even
indirectly, promotes the safety of Indiana citizens."


Of course, since you are an evangelical follower of jesus, I'm sure you
approve of Pence and his discrimination.

........

Ok I’m waiting for the “hate” comment. Where’s it?
