Let’s start with his relationship
with his wife. Trump so far was hardly seen with his wife. But it is reported
that Pence hardly does anything without his wife nearby. Mike Pence never eats
alone with a woman other than his wife, Karen Pence. Why? Is Mike more of a
wandering eye towards women than Trump that she has to keep her eye on her man
even at all meals? Is there snow on Pence’s roof but there is fire in his furnace?
Mike won’t attend events featuring alcohol without Karen by his side. Is Mike a
closeted alcoholic and she has to keep tabs on his drinking too or do they get
freaky sexy and she wants to make sure she gets in on all that freaky action
too? UGH!
Their whole relationship is
strange. Mike told the story of how they got engaged. Mike said, ”I hollowed out
two loaves of bread, placing a small bottle of champagne in one and the ring
box in the other for her to discover as she tore off pieces…” ok so far a cute
story. The weird part is that later they got the bread shellacked and is
displayed everywhere they go. Many believe that Mike Pence’s policies are weird
too. On May 21 a group of graduates at Notre Dame walked out on his speech at
their Commencement. Pence was there to receive an honorary degree from the
Catholic University located in his home State of Indiana. They were protesting
Mike Pence’s policies from his time as governor, when he tried to implement
RFRA (The Religious Freedom Restoration Act) without civil rights protections
for LGBTQ people. This Act would have also targeted undocumented students and
their families.
One student protestor, Jenn Cha
summed up their feeling by stating that, “It is an egregious insult to invite
Pence to speak at the celebration of the accomplishments of university graduates,
many of whom are LGBTQ, first-generation, low-income, and people of color he
has actively supported legislations against.” Is America who has traditionally
been known as the world’s powerful melting pot of people drawn together from
all nations being represented by this guy? We are still in torture over Trump
as our representative leader of the free world.
Another student protestor Liz
Hynes said, “Pence represented the kind of intolerance Notre Dame had sought to
eliminate. His anti-LGBT, anti-refugee, and anti-health care policies have
harmed people in ways for which no religious justification can be made.” Thank
God that a religious conservative Catholic College can still produce open
minded graduates who can see the big picture of what America is made from and
realize we need policies that include all law abiding people of any religious preference,
gender or health issues. Trump or Pence can’t deliver what America needs.
