While the state of Indiana is taking a beating across the country for passing the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act,” allowing businesses and individuals to deny services to gays on religious grounds, Governor Mike Pence has come in for an extra heaping of scorn on social media.
In a speech following the signing of the bill, Pence defended his actions saying, “If I thought it legalized discrimination I would have vetoed it.” Across the country many disagreed with the governor, once believed to harbor national aspirations, and expressed themselves bluntly.
A host of celebrities, including Broadway star Audra McDonald, Larry King, Harvey Fierstein, Miley Cyrus, and popular Indiana-based author John Green took shots at the governor, while others jumped on Pence’s Twitter account to express their contempt and displeasure with his decision to sign the bill into law.
Hi back! Well met. It’s true. I’m back. I’ve been lurking all the while, believe me, but just started chiming in again lately.
My thoughts exactly
I was never a Trump basher, bozo.
Here's some advice, pal: Better to keep your mouth closed and have people think you're a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
