Boru
The first thing that jumps to mind is him bitching about when his wife got rightly called out for going back to work at an anti-LGBT school. Then the bullshit about it being hard to call yourself a christian in today's USA (when it becomes a disadvantage to be publically christian to gain public office, rather than the current advantage that it is, I'll entertain that idea). Then the "protect religious liberty" bullshit, which is a dog-whistle for "only my brand of christianity will be accepted in the America I will build for me!" And finally the fact that he is speaking at "Liberty" "University" the US version of the madrassas which spit out al-Qaeda and ISIS fanatics.
Hey Boru, here is someone in the same thread pointing out the same thing I was.
I only added to this point, that this is part of a long term deep seeded fear and bigotry and insecurity coming from the right.
Pence did not go there to defend equality or freedom, he went there to defend a desire to have a social pecking order in which his sect and interpretation of his bible serves as public policy.
