Mike Pence once criticized Trumps Muslim ban. He now applauds the order.

Vice President Pence and Defense Secretary James Mattis stood directly behind their boss Friday, one man on each side, as President Trump announced an order that will ban half the world's Shiite Muslims from entering the country for months.
I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States, Trump said from his podium at the Pentagon. We don't want 'em here.
Pence nodded along to the words. It was just over a year earlier when he had called Trump's proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States offensive and unconstitutional. That was before Trump picked him as his running mate and won the election.
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.
