OUCH: Remember When Pence Slammed Trump’s Muslim Ban?
…Gov. Mike Pence [is] Donald Trump’s selection for his vice presidential running-mate. But the two haven’t always been on the same side of things politically. With the news comes our “well, that’s awkward” post.
It wasn’t so long ago that Pence forcefully denounced Trump’s suggested Muslim ban calling it “offensive and unconstitutional.”
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.

Hard to forget that one.
But that’s not all – the two have strong disagreements about trade. Try reconciling Pence’s free trade support with Trump’s ardent protectionist “fair trade” stance.
Trade means jobs, but trade also means security. The time has come for all of us to urge the swift adoption of the Trans Pacific Partnership

Even more, while Trump consistently reminds America that he was against the war in Iraq, Pence has consistently supported it.
Mike Pence was an eloquent and knowledgeable defender of the Iraq war and the surge. Will he stick to his guns as Trump's VP?

I'm speaking on the floor soon in favor of funding for our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Support our men and women in uniform! #tcot

I’m sure the family meals in Indianapolis the past few days have assuaged all that, though. (For more from the author of “OUCH: Remember When Pence Slammed Trump’s Muslim Ban?” please click HERE)
