"Mike Pence, the putative next vice president of the United States, does not believe in evolution, thinks smoking doesn’t kill, would like creationism taught in public schools, and doesn’t think scientists agree climate change is happening.

We’ll learn a lot more about Donald Trump’s newly minted running mate in the coming days, but the Indiana governor is already on record as sharing some of the most easily refuted claims of the GOP’s anti-science wing. Some of his more remarkable lines come from a 2009 interview with Chris Matthews, the bombastic host of “Hardball.” Others are taken from previous statements made during his campaigns for Congress, or other interviews he’s done over the years.

Here’s a selection.

...

“I think the science is very mixed on the subject of global warming.”

...

“Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill.”

..."

Trump's pseudoscience nonsense, including anti-vacccine ridiculousness only gets worse with this guy in tow.

Pence graduated from Columbus North High School in 1977. He earned a B.A. in History from Hanover College in 1981 and a J.D. from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1986. While at Hanover, Pence joined the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, serving as his chapter's president.

7. critical thinking isn't required to acknowledge that smoke continually inhaled is bad for you

9. There is that.

10. Actually Hanover College should pay

Pence to stop citing their school in his resume. Probably not the law school since everyone knows lawyer's lie for expediency.

Please please be a debate question with a follow up.

2. That GOP platform is a laundry list of religious right stupidity.

Roll back rights for LGBT citizens, censor internet porn, teach the bible as science...

Bleh.
