Pence Surrounded by Bigots at Bill Signing

http://crooksandliars.com/2015/03/mike-pence-surrounded-bigots-when-he

snip:

Indiana Governor Mike Pence told George Stephanopoulos that SB101, the "religious freedom" bill he signed into law, is not about anti-gay discrimination.

Yet when he signed it, as the graphic above so helpfully points out, he was surrounding by several men, Micah Clark, Curt Smith, and Eric Milled, who have been working for years to demonize gays and lesbians.

Those who will not be named, are named.

The religious people were in 1 that was released to the general public for PR, and the lobbyists were in the other one.

I could be wrong, tho.

when George asks a tough question is hilarious. Pence knows he is finished.

Perhaps being surrounded by civil libertarians might have been better? Instead, he was surrounded by people fighting for discrimination.
