No one has vouched for Donald Trump’s religious authenticity more than his pious and sycophantic veep. Renouncing it all now seems hypocritical.
“I once invited President Trump to Bible study,” Pence said in his speech. “He really liked the passages about the smiting and perishing of thine enemies. As he put it, ‘Ya know, Mike, there’s some really good stuff in here.’”
The former vice president continued in that vein as he turned to the scandal over Trump’s refusal to return classified documents he wasn’t legally allowed to keep: “I read that some of those classified documents they found at Mar-a-Lago were actually stuck in the president’s Bible … which proves he had absolutely no idea they were there.”
Now, theses snarks are not equal in sternness of judgment to Pence’s earlier disclosed remarks accusing Trump of grave misconduct on January 6: “I had no right to overturn the election. And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know history will hold Donald Trump accountable.
that the Hoosier’s primary service to Trump was to reassure conservative Evangelicals that the mogul’s heathenish character would not infect a Republican White House. And once Trump and Pence were in office, the vice-president’s most regular duty was to act as the liaison between the White House and Trump’s fans of faith, guiding the president’s feet onto the paths of righteousness despite his rather unorthodox habits and belief system.
So if anyone was misled about Trump’s lack of sincere religious interest or commitment, it was Pence himself, or Pence who was deceiving others about it. Either way, it doesn’t speak well for the churchy former veep that he’s just getting around to telling us about it now, when he no longer has or even needs the ex-president’s appreciation for his many years of faithful sycophancy.Daily news about the politics, business, and technology shaping our world.
