Savannah Georgia ruined Mike Pence's St. Patricks Day in the best way possible

[DonViejo]

By Alex Bollinger · Monday, March 19, 2018

Mike Pence was in Savannah on Saturday. The Georgia city hosted the South’s largest St. Patrick’s Day parade.

He was expecting to see a lot of green as he marched in the parade, but he also saw a lot of rainbows.

Protestors holding signs that said “Mike Pence Is A Homophobe” and “Hate has no home here” waved rainbow flags.

Some people protested for other causes, too.

4. He is? Why do you think so?

[CelticWinter]

7. its just my personal

gut feeling, he does protest so much about disliking gays, just leads me to believe he fears what he is. But like I said it is my personal opinion.

9. either that or he is just brainwashed by the Catholic Church.

What will he do when they accept gays????

[CelticWinter]

11. omg his head will

20. He's not Catholic

Hasn't been for many years (since 95). He is evangelical. He has referred to himself as 'Evangelical Catholic' which oddly actually is Protestant meaning he identifies with the origins of the Christian church. Pence and those in that group believe the Protestant Reformation was part of the illumination of the holy spirit.
He does not identify as Catholic in the modern, or even post modern definition and he does not attend Catholic services

12. Savannah is like one of the gayest cities in America

Of course, they were going to bring out the rainbow flags.

How did Pence not see this coming?

[GoCubsGo]

16. Apparently, he assumed that there are no gays in Southern cities?

Or, maybe he assumed that they're not gay-friendly? Charleston is pretty gay, as well. But, given his tiny IQ, he probably thought all those rainbow flags symbolized the leprechaun's pot at the end of the rainbow.

18. What is the city's politics like? Someone invited Pence. nt

[MrScorpio]

23. Ive only been there once years ago

I don’t know enough about the city’s politics to comment.

I had to check to see if the Mayor is a GOPr, and he is. But I wouldn’t put too much into to that.

The fact is that Savannah is like an east coast version of New Orleans, but with more southern charm and gentility.

It’s not as big a gay Mecca as NO or Key West, but it’s up there.

13. That's boldly liberal for the deep south

maybe Dems have a chance to turn Georgia blue again

[mountain grammy]

14. My love to Savannah..

plan on spending a couple of days there next winter.

[Blue_true]

15. Who invited him? nt

17. Thank you Savannah.

You make this GA native proud.

[MLAA]

19. So proud of Savannah! 🌈

21. donations to planned parenthood in pence's name

The last report I saw was in November, 2016 and at that time there were more than 50,000 donations to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence's name.

Anybody have an update? I can't find anything now.

[tosh]

22. Yeah, who could have seen THAT coming!!

[appalachiablue]

25. Bravo Savannah! Charming city..

[sarge43]

26. Way to go, Savannah. Thank you.

27. He really is an idiot.

28. Midnight in the Garden...

...of Good — the locals, who showed Mommie’s Boy where exactly he was; and
Evil — the aforementioned V-POS.

[murielm99]

29. Yes.

I thought of that book immediately.

30. I was there this weekend

I didn't go anywhere near Pence and had no desire to do so.

I did read in the local paper that the city of Savannah had tried to ban even hand held signs in the "enhanced security zone" surrounding Pence, but withdrew the requirement on the threat of an ACLU lawsuit.

32. I love Savannah

And this story is a good reason why. Also, my wife's cousin lived in Savannah for many years until he died. He was one of my favorite people on this planet. We visited for a week every summer for many years but have only been once since then. Man I could (and often did) listen to him talk about Savannah's history for hours at a time. I miss him more than I miss a some of my own relatives.
