Mike Pence, Then and Now

Political Wire:

Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexual’s as a ‘discreet and insular minority’ entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities.”

— Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), on his campaign website in 2000.


I don’t support discrimination against anyone. I don’t support discrimination against gays and lesbians or anyone else. I abhor discrimination.”

— Gov. Mike Pence (R), quoted by the Indianapolis Star at a press conference addressing his controversial “religious freedom” law.


I guess you could say he was "for" discrimination before he was "against" it?

This exposure of his bigotry is an example of how they're attacking him unfairly! And besides, Bill Clinton passed a law protecting Native Americans right to use peyote in a ceremonial way without fear of federal prosecution, which is exactly like his law!

Republican logic. It would be funny if they weren't set on the destruction of civil liberties for everyone not a white male Christian.
