Pence Calls It '18 Yr Old Nonstory' – Is It?

Mike Pence overnight posted a very Trumpian tweet in his latest attempt to not take responsibility for having supported funding for anti-gay conversion therapy.

And while the Vice President can call it "fake news," it's not.

Yet when running for re-election as a U.S. Congressman Mike Pence's campaign website noted he supported funding the practice, which Pence now denies.

"The widespread belief that Pence supports gay conversion therapy," USA Today noted, "comes from a statement he made in 2000 on his congressional campaign website: 'Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.' While he didn’t explicitly mention gay conversion therapy, leaders in the LGBT community have said they believe that’s what Pence meant in light of his long-standing opposition to gay rights."

1. Pence lies

He's a Republican and that's what they do.

2. I'd like to send him a dildo

To show him the meaning of the real joy life has to offer!

3. How do you know he's not

getting that from "mother"?

All these gopers are twisted.

5. You got me there.

Although it sickens me to think that I would have something in common with that asshole.

4. He lies, of course. And he relies on short memories and his supporters never once thinking to

research it for themselves. Also, his supporters agree with "conversion therapy". If anything, his supporters would be more angry if Pence actually was changing his position on "conversion therapy" - instead of only lying to appear to be something he isn't. (you know, a decent human)
