Lady Gaga Shreds Mike Pence: He's the 'Worst Representation' of What It 'Means to Be a Christian' [View all]

by Tamar Auber | Jan 20th, 2019, 9:36 pm




Lady Gaga did not hold back when talking about Vice President Mike Pence during a concert in Las Vegas on Saturday. The star was responding to the news that Pence’s wife, Karen, has taken a job at a Christian school that discriminates against LGBTQ families.

“And to Mike Pence who thinks that it’s OK that his wife works at a school that bans LGBTQ. You’re wrong,” she said to cheering crowds at Park MGM, according to the Las Vegas-Review Journal. “You’re the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian.”

She added: ”I am a Christian woman, and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and everybody is welcome. So you can take all that disgrace, Mr. Pence, and look yourself in the mirror and you’ll find it right there.”

Gaga also spoke up about the shutdown, asking the “fucking president of the United States” to put the government back and noting that there are people that “live paycheck to paycheck that need their money.”
