Former president Trump has already made clear that he will center anti-LGBTQ laws in his 2024 campaign, and now Pence is jumping right on that bandwagon.

People fooled by Pence's mild-mannered demeanor should ponder that while he was governor of Indiana, he cited "Christian" objections to free needle exchanges that the CDC urged him to implement to battle an HIV surge in part of the state.

Rather than implement the common sense measures, he told the state he had to pray about the matter. He delayed for almost a year while the epidemic surged out of control.

For those who think Pence seems like a nice guy, remember that he let people become infected with HIV and some die of AIDS because he preferred to pray rather than help people in need.
