I don’t think Republicans are burning Kenosha. So I don’t get the connection.

Wisconsin Lutheran College is an independent private Christian college. Mike Pence is a man of strong Christian faith. He seems like a good fit to speak at such a college.

I try really hard to not sit in judgement of people. However, I do wonder, what sorts of Christians run that college, that they would disinvite Pence over the Kenosha riots? This decision makes no sense.

Presumeably the powers that be at this college strongly oppose rioting and want to see peace in the streets. Mike Pence strongly opposes rioting and wants to see peace in the streets. So what’s the problem here?

I agree too. I don’t see why a Christian college would cancel the invitation for a strong Christian prominent public figure, because of rioting being done by liberal radical types.

It’s their loss. Pence has better things to do with his time now.

Cancel Culture cannot abide an invasion of their smug, elitist, safe spaces by such a threatening presence as VP Michael “Gorilla” Pence! The laundry bill for the soiled panties alone would be immense!

Another ‘Christian’ college caves to the handful (270) of leftists wishing to overthrow it.

Not a good thing - at all! :(

What dies Pence — or Trump, for that matter — have to do with the leftist riots in WI?

The donors to that college are either going to have to put up or shut up. We’ll see. If they are truly Christians who follow Christ, they believe in God. They will stand before Him some day and try to explain why they supported a blatant abortion candidate if they don’t object.

I left the Lutheran church about nine years ago. One of the better decisions I ever made.

Intimidation. The school doesn’t want its campus destroyed.

That's it right there. Why have him if you know the idiot progressives will definitely show up and cause trouble. I don't blame them for canceling, and I'm sure the Secret Service is thankful for the cancellation,too. You fight the fights you can win and this was a loser.

And too, knowing these are largely good patriotic Christian youth, the administration may well be saving them from killing others in defense of lives and property. When Civil War comes, they'll be ready enough, but it doesn't have to start on campus.

It might also be a security issue, both for VP Pence and the Lutheran College. If death threats are credible but safety personnel are aprehensive, it behooves them to cancel his address. Just saying,maybe.
