Mike Pence used to be critical of anti-Muslim hatred.

Mike Pence In 2003: Anti-Muslim Bigotry Makes Us ‘No Better Than The Terrorists Who Attacked Us’
Submitted by Ari Rabin-Havt on Monday, 8/8/2016 11:00 am
In March, 2003, a little over two weeks before the start of the Iraq War, then-Rep. Mike Pence delivered a heartfelt speech titled “Tolerance,” asking Americans not to condemn all Muslims based on the September 11 attacks, stating, “I said that terror has no regard for religion or ethnicity, and if we attack the innocent simply because of their ethnic status, we are no better than the terrorists who attacked us.”
