OK, but the "gross mischaracterization" was at least ALSO by supporters of the bill, who Pence invited to the bill signing. You keep ignoring that. Not sure why - bottom line is they f'd up and are paying the price for appealing to bigots to support the bill because it would enable discrimination.
And sorry but Pence is an idiot. If he wanted to tamp down the "lies" about the bill not enabling discrimination, all he had to do was answer George's question just one time out of the six times he was asked if it would allow for discrimination. He chose not to. Stupid move, Governor!
Gov. This bill is NOT about discrimination.
George: So, Gov. will businesses be allowed to discriminate?
Gov. You know, George, it's, like, you know, not about that, see, it's about freedom and liberty.
Later. Gov: Why is everyone worried about the discrimination that I refused, SIX TIMES, to say is not facilitated about this bill. Gosh, I can't understand why there is any concern.... Lieberal media!!!
