Because fuck that guy.
Pence has stated publicly that he considers the federal transgender-restroom requirement for public schools an infringement on state and local authority, which he considers the proper sources of control over public school policies. That's just standard GOP fare: when the right to discriminate is on the line, play the Federalism card. However, I'm not aware of him having an especially important role in that ongoing flap.
Pence was the asshole who last year signed into law Indiana's so-called Religious Freedom Bill, which would have allowed bigots to discriminate against gays and lesbians under cover of their claimed religious beliefs. Of course, the Jesus freaks lapped it up. Luckily, the bill went the way of the dinosaur when those righteous Indiana believers realized it was going to cost their state revenue. You know, priorities.
So yeah, fuck him. And Trump.
