Is Trump considering a 'religious liberty' supporter for VP?

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee sits down with Indiana Governor Mike Pence, who signed a bill allowing business owners to refuse services to LGBTI citizens

Last year, Indiana Governor Mike Pence found himself in the middle of a media firestorm after signing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The law, which was eventually modified, permitted business owners to refuse services to LGBTI customers if they felt it conflicted with their faith.

Businessman, and reality star, Donald Trump is looking at Pence as a possible vice president candidate in the upcoming election for the White House.

According to ABC News, the two Republicans met yesterday (2 July), at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.

Pence associates have noted the governor is under consideration as Trump’s number two. Pence’s wife was also in attendance.
