"Trump regularly keeps Pence in his place by mocking his Christian faith"

[Miles Archer]

A new report from the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer claims that President Donald Trump regularly keeps Vice President Mike Pence in his place by mocking his Christian faith.

According to Mayer’s sources, Trump enjoys ribbing Pence for his right-wing Christian views by portraying him as a Taliban-style fundamentalist who wants to execute all LGBT people.

During a recent conversation on gay rights, for instance, Trump allegedly pointed at Pence and said, “Don’t ask that guy—he wants to hang them all!”

Additionally, Trump likes to ridicule Pence’s commitment to overturning Roe V. Wade by noting that many blue states would simply vote to legalize abortion even if the Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 ruling that gave every woman in the United States the right to have an abortion.

3. Raw Story doing it's usual rip off of someone else's reporting

And passing it off as their own.

BRAD REED is the byline on this "article" which is really just a cut-and-paste of information found in the New Yorker article by Jane Mayer.

Raw Story ought to be banned here for this BS.

4. Mike, are you gonna let the Antichrist mock your faith?

Do something about it!

5. I hope that this creates some issues for the evangelicals in the base (not crossing my fingers)

I mentioned this in BN thread on this story. You would think that Trump privately conceding on abortion, and then belittling Pence for his position on "the gays" and his faith ("did Mike make you pray?&quot , might move the needle a bit. However, given that the evangelicals seem to be willing to overlook everything DT says and does, this will probably have no effect.

I am hoping that the press asks Pence whether this is true, and he gives a Tillerson-esque non-answer, thereby confirming that the story is true.

I don't care for Pence but this is bullying and assholery.

9. What Christian Faith?

"Right-wing Christianity" has jack shit to do with Christianity. It's about power and politics. It's like Al Qaeda to Islam.

10. If a tape of this exist and ever gets out there

it will cost Trump about 2% to 5% of his deplorable base at most. The rest of them have all convinced themselves that Trump is their god.
