AUSTIN, Texas–Did Vice Pres. Mike Pence stop believing in scripture when he started believing in Donald Trump, asked South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, when he answered questions during a CNN Town Hall meeting for possible presidential candidates, in Austin.
Buttigieg was asked by the moderator if Pence would make a better president or worse president than Pres. Donald Trump.
“Both,” answered the mayor. “Does it have to be between those two?”
He then discussed his Christian faith and the way his differs from Pence’s
“Is that the Scripture is about protecting the stranger, the prisoner, the poor person, and that idea of welcome. That’s what I get in the Gospel when I’m in church. His has a lot more to do with sexuality, a certain view of rectitude.”
He also criticized Pence’s support of Trump, with what some consider the president’s questionable morals.
“Even if you buy into that, how could he allow himself to become the cheerleader of the porn star presidency? Is it that he stopped believing in scripture when he started believing in Donald Trump?”
Buttigieg said last week that he believes America needs to re-examine and possibly dismantle the electoral college.
