I got no respect for Pence.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me, Lowry! Mike Pence? That was the last-second addition that pushed me off the panel? That walking talking human pez-dispenser? They say the guy won’t even dine with another woman without his wife present, whereas I won't dine with any woman, including my wife, without a lawyer present. Hey-oh! You see how I did that there? That's what we call in the biz a "zinger". Can't believe I'm giving out my A-material completely pro bono, yet here we are. Get it together, Richard... Sincerely, James O'Flannery

Everything Pence has to say, he has already said. The good Professor here would have brought a fresh new angle for which the conservative movement is yearning. Big swing and a miss by Lowry and NR.

Walking, talking human Pez-dispencer. 🤣 Brilliant! 😂

How quick we forget how the Alpha variant was killing people. I remember well. There is something to be said for the steady hand of experience vs the gift of the gab.

For a so called Christian you should have pushed back on church and temple closures and faith leaders being arrested. For applauding America entrepreneurs, you should have pushed back on breweries being fined for making hand sanatizers. But I've heard nothing about any of these things.

Why should he have pushed back on churches and temples being closed temporarily? 🤣

[@laattardo]

@andreaskarlsson5251 because it was bullshit. Churches were closed but stripclubs were open. And 2 weeks went to 2 months went to almost 2 years in some states. Packaged stores were allowed to stay open but places of solace and community were shut down. Seems a bit bassakwards to me and hypocritical that he did not push back, especially when he is now trying to use his supposed religion to gain the Christian vote.
