http://crooksandliars.com/2015/03/mike-pence-surrounded-bigots-when-hesnip:
Indiana Governor Mike Pence told George Stephanopoulos that SB101, the "religious freedom" bill he signed into law, is not about anti-gay discrimination.
Yet when he signed it, as the graphic above so helpfully points out, he was surrounding by several men, Micah Clark, Curt Smith, and Eric Milled, who have been working for years to demonize gays and lesbians.
Those who will not be named, are named.

was shown on NBC News, more than half of the obviously religious people were cropped out. None of the habit-clad nuns were visible in the aired photo.

The religious people were in 1 that was released to the general public for PR, and the lobbyists were in the other one.
I could be wrong, tho.

when George asks a tough question is hilarious. Pence knows he is finished.

He made a choice, wrong one.

Perhaps being surrounded by civil libertarians might have been better? Instead, he was surrounded by people fighting for discrimination.
