Pence news conf. NOW on msnbc

[riversedge]

[ChisolmTrailDem]

1. Still putting it off on Bill Clinton...eye roll. nt

[riversedge]

2. Pence says Religious Liberty is the 1st Liberty and still is proud to have signed

the RFLA

[ChisolmTrailDem]

3. Just denied, nay LIED, about the intent of this monsterous law. He "abhors" discrimination...

FUCK HIM, GOD DAMNED LIAR!

[riversedge]

4. says not intent to discriminate but appreciats that is the perception

across the country and we need to confront that '
Boldy"


Gov walker uses the word bold lots of times.

[Tanuki]

54. His handlers probably told him to emphasize "bold"

to undo the damage of his cowardly unwillingness to answer George Stephanopoulis' repeated, simple question, "Yes or no...will this bill allow discrimination against LGBT individuals?" Sorry, Pence, we've already seen how "bold" you really are!

[riversedge]

5. only going to 'clarify' the current law--wants IN 'open for business"

[marmar]

6. One thing is clear from this press conference .......

....... roaches "abhor" exposure to light.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

7. I wish he'd clear that whistling booger from his schnoz, ugh! nt

[tishaLA]

14. honestly! jeebus it's making me crazy

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Insists that the law was never intended to discriminate

and that there was just a "misperception." Now the baggers are going to be pissed off because he insisted that the law does not give businesses the right to deny services to LGBT people - but it sure as hell does, as written, and that's exactly what they did intend. He says it mirrors the federal law, but that's a lie. The federal RFRA was designed to prevent the government from impinging on the religious practices of minority groups, particularly Native Americans, but the language of the Indiana statute does give private businesses the right to deny services on the basis of a claimed religious belief.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

9. He's a goddamned liar and a movement to remove him should be afoot. nt

[NuclearDem]

10. Indiana doesn't have recalls.

[riversedge]

12. Repeal is the ONLY 'fix"

[old guy]

29. You are correct.

[Chiyo-chichi]

25. Picture is worth 1,000 words

Misperception my ass.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. Yup. If the law wasn't intended to discriminate, why are those assholes

proudly standing there while he signs it? If the bill was drafted and/or supported by rabidly anti-gay people and organizations, how can he claim it was never intended to discriminate? That was its entire purpose, since religious freedom is otherwise covered quite nicely by the First Amendment.

[Chiyo-chichi]

50. Exactly. Every reporter should have asked these very questions.

[riversedge]

11. missed most of it...

he is answering questions now

[Vinca]

13. He continues to insist the Indiana law is like other, similar, laws which it isn't.

Saying it's so doesn't make it true.

[lamp_shade]

15. His microphone must be in his nose. The noise is making me sick. n/t

[riversedge]

16. ha ah Now trying to make nice with media for earlie saying there was 'irresposible' reporting--now

says Indiana press got it right but 'National" press got it wrong

[global1]

17. Interesting Defense....

Say Clinton did it. Say Obama voted for it in Illinois. Say the Hoosiers are the greatest people in the world. Say that the Hoosiers are offended by the publicity that this has gotten. Say that it is the fault of the press and reporting.

If there is a federal law on the books - that Clinton signed into law - why does Indiana have to have their own law?

[global1]

19. And Now He's Blaming It On Obamacare.....nt

[riversedge]

39. Pence said that Sunday on abc also.

[Contrary1]

52. Let me fix that for him...

Wealthy Repub Hoosiers are offended by the publicity financial hit that this has gotten them.

There Mikey; that's more like it.

[napkinz]

18. he's LYING ...

[riversedge]

38. That is a great poster. thanks

[riversedge]

20. He keeps talking about 'perceptions" . He still believes the current law was OK

still chatting about Clinton and other 19 states

[herding cats]

21. So, it's basically the same crap he said earlier on FOX?

I'm as unimpressed now as I was when I heard it before. He's still a liar and a bigot.

If you're going to be a bigot at least be honest and admit you're one. Don't pretend it was an accident when your ass gets called out for your bigoted actions. The largest businesses in your state saw this coming, the said this would happen and they opposed this law for that reason. But you never knew this was a possibility? Liar.

[randome]

22. Bigots are cowards unless they're in a group.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]No squirrels were harmed in the making of this post. Yet.[/center][/font][hr]

[herding cats]

43. You got that right.

They're just like roaches. They huddle together in dank, dark places spreading their filth, and scatter when they're exposed to the light of day.

[riversedge]

23. Please ask @GovPenceIN if law wasn't meant to discriminate, why did he sign in private with known bi

Please ask @GovPenceIN if law wasn't meant to discriminate, why did he sign in private with known bigots? #BoycottIndiana #BoycottArkansas

46. Same reason the KKK wore white robes and hoods

They were too embarassed to show their faces in public.

[cyberswede]

24. Good lord...he's offended at the "smear" directed toward this law.

(the "smear" being that the law gives license to deny services based on discrimination)

[riversedge]

28. golly gee He is offended. Does he think of LGTB community?

[riversedge]

26. Has he clearly said IN will NOT discrimate against gays?

I missed lots of the presser

[cyberswede]

27. How has "government intruded on religious liberty?"

What is that really about?

[riversedge]

32. Basically as I understand it...

the problem for the Republicans is the separation of church and state. Too much separation.

[cyberswede]

33. That separation actually PROTECTS religion, though

Man, I detest Republicans.

[riversedge]

30. umm. says he started out as a Democrat. Makes it worse

in my book--sometimes they are like ex-smokers.

[cali]

31. If only people cared a tenth as much about the discriminatory laws passed virtually

every fucking day targeting women.

[riversedge]

34. I hear yah---State legislators in many states have

and are successfully passing more and more regulations to chip away at Roe v Wade. Deeply chip.

[cali]

35. thank you. it's more than deeply chipped away at.

[riversedge]

44. I actully saw

the entire pic with nuns and clergy but lost it--long gone.

[riversedge]

36. So--msnbc cut off live feed. But Pence still does NOT get it--keeps

talking on and on about perceptions, blaming the National media

[annabanana]

37. I wish they'd mic the reporters.. Can't hear the questions.....n/t

[riversedge]

42. I noted that also.

[riversedge]

41. From what I have read there was considerable DO NOT SIGN this reponse prior

to actually signing. So Pence acting surprised is a ruse. Of course maybe he was in his bubble and really did not kow.

[DefenseLawyer]

49. Eli Lily and Cummins, two major Indiana based companies

are just two of many companies that came out publicly against the bill before it was passed, even testifying against it in hearings. These loons take their marching orders from the Koch Brothers/ALEC not the people and businesses of Indiana.

[LynneSin]

45. I know their supporters are stupid and unable to google and/or read

but the rest of us aren't.

This bill is NOT like the other 19 bills or the one passed by Bill Clinton.

This has been debunked to death.

The entire world knows it yet Pence keeps denying it thinking if he repeats it enough time the rest of the world will go stupid and believe him.

We won't.

Change the law.

[spiderpig]

47. My eyes are tired from rolling back into my head

Perception problem. Yeah, right.

[Gothmog]

48. Governor Dense was lying about the effect of the law

Governor Dense didnot sound well on the radio feed from Sirus. Is he sick?

[RKP5637]

51. It was a bullshit press conference, blaming it on everyone else. It was all about discrimination,

blaming it on everyone else that we just couldn't understand the law and smeared it. Absolute bullshit.

His press conference was all about BS CYA. No way did he redeem his law and discrimination in our eyes.

[riversedge]

53. agree. Little new of anything. Sad.
