Vice President	Mike Pence	Religious fundamentalist; hates gay people, in love with a warped concept of "religious freedom", governor of Indiana - and he still seems comparatively sane, when it comes to stuff like going to see Hamilton and not embarrassing himself

He's anti-abortion as expected and thinks that the ACA is waste that could be spent on deploying a ground army to fight DAESH. Has condemned Richard B. Spencer and the alt-Right of being a gang of anti-semites. Sometimes exaggerates what he's talking about to gain support, such as calling Clinton the anti-Christ in an electoral campaign.
