Seems like the bible pic would be right up his alley.

Pence cant have a conscience though, but if he does he will go to the GOP and WH staff and insist on the 25th.

As many sports fans quickly pointed out, however, Pence had very memorably and very famously not stood for the right for Americans to peacefully protest, when he walked out of an NFL game in 2017 after players kneeled during the playing of the national anthem. In what was pretty clearly a publicity stunt, Pence had done the opposite of what he was now saying in a tweet he was committed to doing.
Sports fans called him out quickly, en masse. And now some bigger names have gotten involved.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr called out Pence in a quote tweet, asking how he had the gall to say what he did.

Youve gotta be kidding me. How do you have the gall to say this?

We believe in law and order in this Country. We condemn violence against property or persons. We will always stand for the right of Americans to peacefully protest and let their voices be heard.

(35,454 posts)who told them that...Tom Cotton?
I am uncertain as to what Tom Cotton has to do with the events that occurred with the church
But the N.Y. Times did an in depth and well reported piece on the events surrounding the church visit.
8 different journalists were in the byline. They even knew the name and the cost of the designer purse that Ivanka pulled the Bible from ( that cracked me up)
One of the details of the reporting was Pences involvement as I described

(35,454 posts)and they have been wrong about many things over the years including HRC, to whom they apologized on page 16 after keeping their slams about her on the front pages for months. I simply don't believe Pence sat somewhere phoning. It's not part of his MO over the last three years, he's always by the dear leader's side. And he has been careless in regard to the way he handled the virus. I'm betting we'll find out he wasn't on the phone in due time.

At this morning's presser, in his usual position. So what's the real reason he wasn't at the big OP?
He was there
