Mike Pence in USA Today

On Principles & Values: When criticized about Jesus, I breath a prayer of praise

In "The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence," that came out this week, authors Michael D'Antonio and Peter Eisner cast Pence's background--congressman, Indiana governor, Trump VP--in a harsh light, arguing that "the most successful Christian supremacist in American history" is already functioning as a "kind of replacement president" and is preparing to "fashion a nation more pleasing to his god and corporate sponsors."

Pence has long described himself as a "Christian, a conservative and a Republican--in that order."
