The Mike Pence I knew here in Indiana was sincere and straightforward, even in disagreement. Stunts were beneath him. So much has changed.
For some reason this tweet is recirculating now. It was off, but I'm not deleting it because I don't believe in trying to erase prior (mis)statements. A couple thoughts for those who are jumping on this again...
Many people here can't get their heads around the idea that someone could be homophobic, fanatical, and wrong, make terrible decisions, and also be sincere. Did he make horrible policy on HIV and many other matters? Yes. Did it destroy lives? Yes. Was it sincere? Yes.
I often fought and disagreed with him. I also think certain patterns have arisen in his behavior since he became VP that are new and different from how he acted before. Subtlety isn't popular here on Twitter, but I think it's important to study these changes over time.
For the rest: hopefully you were there in the trenches with us when we were confronting his worst policies here in Indiana. There will be more where that came from.
