Milwaukee, WI - Wisconsin Lutheran College today announced that after further review with careful consideration of the escalating events in Kenosha, the WLC Board of Regents and the College's Administration have jointly decided to present a different speaker instead of the Vice President of the United States, Michael R. Pence, at the Saturday, August 29, 2020, commencement. The College is pleased to announce that Rev. Mark Jeske of St. Marcus Lutheran Church has agreed to serve as the commencement speaker.

Ouch!

1. The tide is turning.

[MoonRiver]

2. Yep. And I'm not so worried about WI now.

[Budi]

3. Haa! Stay Away Mike Pence!

[MoonRiver]

4. And Mother too!

[Budi]

9. LOL. They are the creepiest couple next to the Jarvankas

[VA_Jill]

10. Not to mention

the junior Falwells.

[Budi]

14. Geezus! The Falwells too Almost like it's a requirement, to be in the Trump Cult

After awhile don't all Cultists morph into each other's dark psychosys to the point where 'creep' becomes the obvious standout feature?

I think its what brings cults together & keeps them together. That one common feature
Like Epsteins pedo group.

Trump cultists have a special kind of creepy bond also.

😬

5. I wouldn't read too much into this

The college is affiliated with the Wisconsin Synod, a very right-wing Lutheran sect (not ELCA, the “normal” Lutherans, which is pretty liberal). I’m sure they’re still Trumpers and calling us baby-killers.

[CTyankee]

6. Well, somebody got pissed and it's in the RW Lutheran sect. I thought they would be hard core

supporters.

[VA_Jill]

11. Yeah

Those are the WisSyns. And believe you me, they are HARD right. I know. I grew up there. This is a SERIOUS slap.

[MoonRiver]

7. But they were ok with seriously insulting Pence, meaning Chump,

so something's going on.

[stillcool]

12. I would read it...

as the words appear on the page. Pence got bounced..too toxic,...even for 'a very right-wing Lutheran sect'

[MoonRiver]

13. Exactly!

[Cha]

26. Whatever.. they still disinvited the Gaslighting Liar pence.

[PaDemocrat]

8. This really means nothing..

That church fully supports Trump and Pence.. I am sure maybe the VP pussed out from going with everything going on in Wisconsin. I would hardly think this will cause vote swings one way or another.

[malaise]

15. You think they are pariahs now?

Just wait until November 4

[oasis]

16. Pence's will have to sneak back into Indiana at the end of Trump's term.

[Wednesdays]

17. Who's to say they won't try to flee the country, too?

[oasis]

18. "Fargo" Jerry Lundegaard types have no idea how to flee. nt

19. Doing the Right Thing for the Wrong Reason

The Board of Regents might have worried about protestors disrupting the ceremony and followed Saul Alinksy's idea of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

[Warpy]

20. Pence probably canceled on them

It's starting to dawn on those bozos that you can't fool all the people all of the time.

[calimary]

21. Sounds like an effort to avoid stirring people up.

That could have been a problem. With some awfully lousy visuals.

[panader0]

27. Yeah, it may be an effort to protect Pence.

From what I've seen, the cops and city are firmly trumpian.
They're not doing this as a concession to the commie protesters.
Mikie probably asked them to cancel him.

[tazmaniac]

22. Guess how this is being spun--

Reading a "friend's" comments who is an orange devil fan......this is the repugs explanation-the college was afraid VP Pence would get hurt so asked him not to come for his own safety.

[calimary]

35. Welcome to DU, tazmaniac!

They can rationalize pretty much everything, can't they!

The only people playing rough are on THAT side of the aisle. Things in Portland didn't start getting overheated, to begin with, until the stormtroopers arrived.

[marble falls]

23. Or the Rev Mark Who from St Watsis?, as they refer to him at St Mike's house.

[pansypoo53219]

24. excellent.

[pansypoo53219]

25. excellent.

[CaptYossarian]

28. He should get used to being replaced.

[TexasBushwhacker]

29. When a Christian university dumps Mike Pence

you know it's all over.

[mountain grammy]

30. Good to see this. Thanks for posting.

[RainCaster]

31. Reverend Mark from where?

Is this guy any better? Why should he trust this clown?

[MLAA]

32. Graduation Hats Off to Wisconsin Lutheran College!

[Captain Zero]

34. Dietrich Bonhoeffer would approve.

Thank you Wisconsin Lutheran.

[NJCher]

33. I think it's a big deal

You don't dump a U.S. v-p without serious consideration behind it.
