Don’t Ever Forget That Mike Pence Threw Religious Liberty Under the Bus

 I keep seeing writers on the Left and Right praising Mike Pence as a stalwart conservative. Have they forgotten the Battle of Indiana? The Weekly Standard’s Mark Hemingway hasn’t:
 

Recall that last year, Indiana passed a state religious freedom restoration act (RFRA), which was the state version of existing federal legislation that passed Congress and was signed into President Bill Clinton with overwhelming bipartisan support . . . Though the Indiana law is not in conflict with other LGBT protections, it was decried as an act of bigotry. Journalists started fishing for villains, settling on the religious owners of an Indiana pizza parlor who said they would not (hypothetically) want to cater a gay wedding. Companies such as Apple and Ebay, which have no problem doing business in bastions of enlightened attitudes on gays as Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, threatened to boycott Indiana. (Curiously, they have not also threatened to boycott the existing 21 states with RFRAs.)

I'm starting to think Paul Manafort has what Limbaugh called a "testicle lock box."

Gee, I wonder where Trump's campaign would have gotten that...

For Social Conservatives and Fans of Religious Liberty, Pence Pick Will Sting

Once it became clear that Pence was going to have to make a stand on religious freedom, he folded. Indiana's religious freedom law was gutted at Pence's direction within a week of it being passed.

Indiana Republicans Totally Cave On Religious Freedom Law

Advance America, a conservative group that lobbied for the original RFRA, said in a blog post that the update would destroy the law.

“Among the things that will happen, Christian bakers, florists and photographers would now be forced by the government to participate in a homosexual wedding or else they would be punished by the government!” the group said.
