How does one shame the shameless ?
Evangelical minister from Mike Pences Indiana prayer group reveals he's voting for Joe Biden
An evangelical minister who once read Scripture with Vice President Mike Pence as part of a prayer group he held during his tenure as an Indiana congressman says that he'll be voting for former Vice President Joe Biden this fall.
In an interview with The Atlantic, the Reverend Rob Schenck says that he's been encouraging his longtime acquaintance to be true to his Christian faith instead of acting as a full-time surrogate for President Donald Trump.
"If he were to seek pastoral counseling from me, I would say to him, 'Brother Mike, Jesus commands you to love your neighbor not love your boss,'" he says.
The minister also said he recently sent Pence a letter encouraging him to be a truth teller and to not feel duty-bound to repeat Trump's nonstop stream of falsehoods.
