“As [Pence] ascended up the political ladder, his ambition really started to destroy the virtues that people were voting for him to achieve. I think a signal moment of this was in the 2015 RFRA — Religious Freedom Restoration Act fight. Mike Pence was at the helm of [Indiana] when we became a watershed moment for the entire censorship industrial complex attached to all the LGBT, queer sort of things,” Federalist Executive Editor Joy Pullmann said on War Room.
“‘Mr. Virtues’ led his entire party … to reverse simply allowing people to use their religion as a defense for defending their free speech in civil matters. Not only did they reverse that religious protection law in Indiana under ‘Mr. Conservative Values’ Mike Pence, also they enacted protections, special privileges for queer identities — here in Indiana, in a conservative state that does not want that.”
“Voters began to see, as Mr. Pence moved up the political ladder, an increasing detachment from what he said that he supported and what he did with the authority that he had with his office.”
