Liberal radio host Bill Press on Thursday mocked Vice President Mike Pence's Christian faith by doubling down on ABC's "The View" co-host Joy Behar's disparaging comment about him having a "mental illness" for his religious views.
Behar mocked Pence's Christian faith back in February, saying it was indicative of "mental illness" to think Jesus was talking to him. Her comments were in response to former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman's commentary on "Celebrity Big Brother," which reflected on her time in the Trump administration.
Behar received backlash in response to the comment, prompting her to apologize for falling short of respecting all religions and to say she was "wrong" to make the comment. Despite Behar's apology, Press pushed back against her admonition of wrongdoing and said she was "right" to mock Pence on his religious views.
Press played an audio clip of White House press secretary Sara Huckabee Sanders slamming Disney CEO Bob Iger for bias after he apologized to former President Barack Obama official Valerie Jarrett but ignored other examples of hateful speech on Disney networks. The former Obama official received the apology after she was the the subject of an insulting, racially-charged tweet from "Roseanne" star Roseanne Barr.

Think what they may. I have heard the soft, quiet voice of God and consider it a privilege. I actually feel sorry for those who don't hear his voice.
ReplyDeleteAs an atheist AND conservative, I think it is despicable what she did.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the way to speak about each other, and certainly not about the Vice President.
I don't agree with much of Pence's opinions, and think that some of his ideas are dangerous, but name calling like that doesn't do anyone any good.
If she wants to win in the marketplace of ideas, the fastest surefire way to do so is to resort to ad hominem attacks.
resort to ad hominem attacks.

I agree with you but that's not the kind of attack it was
ALL I say is where is clips where they criticize Nation of Islam, New Black Panthers, Islam? These anarchist will never criticize these groups since they are assisting them in their attempt to over throw our Democracy.
ReplyDeleteTo understand the Trinity is salvation at its finest. Look it up.
ReplyDeletePence has a personal relationship with the living God as millions of others in the world have. It's not a religion. It's truth. Something happens to those who experience an encounter with this Someone greater than anything in this world. In the end, we will all know the truth of the matter.
ReplyDeleteSure. There are also thousands of people who have been abducted by aliens too. Both camps cant demonstrate the veracity of their claims should we all just accept that all accept aliens are abducting people as well?
