Mike Pence Once Claimed Disney's "Mulan" Is Propaganda Film

[Initech]

Not. The. Onion.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), Donald Trump’s newly introduced running mate, is so extreme in his culture-war views that it’s hard to know where to start. His outrageous anti-LGBT views? His radical opposition to reproductive rights? The Republican’s rejection of climate science and evolution?

Perhaps the easiest way to capture Pence’s views on social issues is to consider this BuzzFeed report.

When Donald Trump’s running mate Mike Pence was a talk radio show host in Indiana, he wrote an op-ed declaring the film Mulan was an attempt by some “mischievous liberal” at Disney to influence the debate over women in the military.

The 1999 op-ed ran on a website for Pence’s radio program that was uncovered by BuzzFeed News.

“Despite her delicate features and voice, Disney expects us to believe that Mulan’s ingenuity and courage were enough to carry her to military success on an equal basis with her cloddish cohorts,” Pence wrote. “Obviously, this is Walt Disney’s attempt to add childhood expectation to the cultural debate over the role of women in the military.”

How did this guy get elected? Much less chosen as a possible Vice President of the US?

1. He got elected because Republicans vote on misogyny, homophobia, and racism

and this hits one of their key demographics. Why we pretend Republicans have anything to say... IDK. I know I've stopped listening to them. They're worthless. They have less than no value to add to my life.

2. I bet there's plenty more of that sort of hate radio idiocy.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I want a daily dose of Pence's broadcast prejudice. The more the better.....
