Next month, Vice President Mike Pence will speak at an event called Christians United for Israel. Its a group founded by Pastor John Hagee, a man who has a long history of saying indefensible things.

Five years ago, Hagee argued that atheists should leave the country if they didnt like the fact that this was a Christian nation:

Theyre saying that the 10 Commandments have been taken out of the courtrooms and out of the schoolhouses lest we offend the atheists. Let me be very clear. This country was not built for atheists nor by atheists. It was built by Christian people who believed in the word of God.

To the atheists watching this telecast: If our belief in God offends you, move! There are planes leaving every hour on the hour going every place on planet Earth. Get on one! We dont want you, and we wont miss you, I promise you

Hagee has also said people should stay away from Harry Potter books, Ouija boards, and rock music because theyre all leading you to Satan. He doesnt believe people who support abortion and LGBT rights can be True Christians

Oh. And then there was the time he claimed Hitler was a hunter whom God sent to force Jews to return to Israel.

Those who came founded Israel; those who did not went through the hell of the Holocaust, he added. Then god sent a hunter. A hunter is someone with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter.

None of those comments, however, went too far for Mike Pence. Hes still doing the event. And, really, we shouldnt be surprised. He was happy to remain Donald Trumps running mate even after Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women (on top of all the other horrible things hes said and done).

Pence doesnt give a damn about any of it. Because hypocrisy and bigotry only matter when non-Christians do it.
