Vice President Pence said during an event Tuesday hosted by a Christian conservative advocacy group that he handles online criticism through prayer and by "extending grace."
"No. 1 is spend more time on your knees than on the internet," Pence said of how he handles critics during a "fireside chat" at an Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) event. "As a Christian believer, were charged to pray for our loved ones but also pray for our enemies." Pence told ADF CEO Michael Farris.
"Forgiveness is a great gift, and my wife and I literally try to work through forgiving people who might speak woefully against us or might mischaracterize who we are and what our familys all about," he added.
Pence also addressed the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend that left more than 30 people dead and dozens more injured. Hate has no place in America he added.

(15,798 posts)Excuse me, Mr. Veep sir, but given the level of sloppy sycophancy demanded by your boss you might want to consider using a phrase other than time on your knees. . .
