Pence Whines About How Oppressed Christians Are

Being male, white, Republican, and Christian in the United States in 2019 is a difficult road marked by attacks, discrimination, and bullying. That's the worldview held by Vice President Mike Pence, which he shared on Saturday during a commencement address at the evangelical Liberty University in Virginia.

"You know throughout most of American history it's been pretty easy to call yourself a Christian," Pence told graduating students. "It didn't even occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the Bible. But things are different now."

He added: "Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional Christian beliefs. So, as you go about your daily life, just be ready."
