The publication also reports that Trump has mocked Pence for his views opposing abortion and LGBTQ rights.

Trump jabbed at Pence after a legal scholar told the pair that if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, many states would probably legalize abortion.

“You see?” Trump reportedly said to Pence. “You’ve wasted all this time and energy on it, and it’s not going to end abortion anyway.”

And when the meeting began to focus on gay rights, Trump reportedly pointed to Pence, joking, “Don’t ask that guy — he wants to hang them all!”

One Trump campaign staffer also told The New Yorker that Trump used to ask people leaving meetings with Pence, “Did Mike make you pray?"........................................

1. Fuck both of these repulsive scumbags

[Rene]

20. we need to target pence removal via indictment etc first....get a new VP then go after drumpf

[Kimchijeon]

25. Good idea. I am really onboard for that but

My thought is it'd just be another piece of crap that gets installed. Maybe a crapshoot, we'd get a slightly less shitty VP? Wouldn't the replacement still end up being a Trump/Corporate Toadie?

Still it is nice to ruminate on the possibilities.

[AJT]

31. That would be Paul "let them eat dirt" Ryan

[stuffmatters]

41. or Nancy Pelosi if Dems orchestrate it right, seriously get their act together!

[gopiscrap]

23. well said

[olegramps]

39. The problem is that it is not a joke.

[Mrs. Overall]

2. Trump is batshit crazy but Pence has a dangerous plan for a Christian Theocracy.

Both of these men need to be removed from office via impeachment, indictment, or resignation.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

6. That day can't come soon enough!!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. 25 45 & hold out impeachment for Pence. It's our third best hope for some sanity.

Ideally we could impeach in the House and convict in the Senate both tRump and Pence simultaneously or so ominously looming that they both resign and Ryan gets forced into the Presidency so that he can't run in 2024. (He will not accept appointment to VP unless he is sure whoever is President at the time is going down and even then probably not because he doesn't want to be Two-Year-Ford.)

Our best hope, not for likelihood, but for long term beneficial impact is if Mueller's investigation finds the tRump gang (DonJarvankaJuniorrEric) and Pence and McConnell guilty as sin of treasonous collusion. If they are clearly and plainly and manifestly guilty they will have to resign. It would also whip the Republicons into some semblance of contrition and cooperation.

Our second best hope is to win the House of Representatives in 2018 and keep it long term, maybe winning the Senate in 2020.

3. Trump jokes "Pence wants to hang all gay people" . . .

Are we certain it was a joke?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Theocrat Moore in Alabama certainly wants to. . . . nt

[IronLionZion]

4. They're both dangerous. Trump says idiotic things that enrage people

but Pence largely flies under the radar and doesn't get as much attention. If we do get rid of Trump and install Pence as POTUS, he might be more effective at passing his dangerous policies because he would have less opposition.

[groundloop]

8. Sadly true.... and it's not like 45* hasn't done more than his share of damage already.

[BeyondGeography]

5. Cant disagree with the Trumpster here

[mountain grammy]

7. Those two jokers, what a comedy team

like Hitler and Goebbels.

[democratisphere]

9. Our banana republic is more bananas everyday.

His behavior is abhorrent.

[PatrickforO]

10. Pence is a disgusting asshole, that's for sure.

Thinks he's really a Christian, but his policies sure don't reflect anything like the Christian message.

[cubbies01]

13. Come on now people

This is just more Locker Room talk. /sarcasm


Between his rabid attack on woman's rights and his well documented hate of LGBTQ rights, I would say there is a 70-75% he is in fact yet another religious conservative gay/bi man hiding deep in his closet of shame, projecting the hate and anger he feels for himself.

[Rene]

18. agreed

[videohead5]

14. Pence Could Not Wait

To get over to the senate to take health insurance away from millions of people with his tie breaking vote.he's no Christian.I'm glad he never got a chance.

[LittleGirl]

15. Pence was more than happy to accept

the VP slot because his career in Indiana politics was OVER.

[L. Coyote]

16. Pence wants to hang Trump, Trump hates Pence, politics as usual for Republicans.

[AllaN01Bear]

17. and yet another self centered heterosexual jerk.

[WinkyDink]

19. Trump despises Pence. He preferred Christie.

[DesertRat]

21. Chelsea Clinton's response on twitter

[Merlot]

34. She missed the point on this one.

trumpft didn't joke about killing gays, he told the truth about how dense feels about gays.

[DesertRat]

42. No she didn't. Her tweet referred to Trump joking that Pence wants to hang gay people.

22. This is why I hope Trump remains as president and isn't impeached.

Pence would be much worse.

[m-lekktor]

26. That's what I think but I have seen others claim they would prefer Pence

because at least he is more competent. or something like that!

[They_Live]

28. Which is why they both must be imprisoned

[Politicub]

24. I believe him

[SonofDonald]

27. Dumpf is a psychotic bag of meat

pinchy is an evil heartless scheming bastard, you just know there's evil world dominating "christian" values foaming in black in his brain, he's just too smart to open his mouth and say it out loud.

If he got dumpfs job everything good in our world is on the block, dumpfs just as bad but he's stupid.

Pinchy is plain old evil, under the guise of a "Christian"

[Gothmog]

29. Who is surprised by this?

[Yavin4]

30. I feel like I'm living in some awful horror movie that just won't end.

It just keeps going and going and going.

[perdita9]

33. Me too

I pride myself on being an informed citizen but I can barely make myself watch the news these days.

[lordsummerisle]

35. Yes, how I feel daily... n/t

[perdita9]

32. What kind of god is Mike Pence worshiping?

Lynching people because they're gay? That's as unAmerican as it gets.

[kimbutgar]

36. I wish Pences grinder profile or his a gay lover would expose him as closeted man

[C Moon]

37. How in the f#@k did we go from President Obama to this freak?

It's all on you GOP. All of it.

[Shaddox]

38. The bigger point is the Evangelicals are not going to like this

Trump is privately conceding on abortion and also belittling Pence's position on "the gays" and his personal faith. I hope this story gets traction for all of the reasons stated in this thread.

[lunasun]

40. Evangelicals are such stupid tools . The thing is neither trump or his wife are good at faking

Christianity . Just how hard would you want to believe them, such cons?

[Kaleva]

45. I agree!

[Man_Bear_Pig]

43. So Pence wants us to be like Iran and excute the gay community.

Twisted shit.

[DesertRat]

44. Billy Eichner on twitter. Trump and Pence are "evil pieces of shit"

Link to tweet

[Calista241]

46. impeach me, and this is what you get..... n/t

[rockfordfile]

47. I wouldn't be surprised

I wouldn't be surprised if Pence "joked" back that Trump "wants to hang" black and Jews. Both are racists, bigots and fascists.
