    I mean it is useful to learn that Pence also aided the tobacco lobby denialist line as late as 2001, as that further chips away at whatever was left of his credibility as an authority on public health. That said, leading the attack by citing his support for "zapping the gay away" and adding this factoid as a garnish or cherry on top might be more effective. Fuck I didn't know about his role in the AIDS crisis, lead with that.

      Yeah I definitely think it’s an issue but a lot of republicans and even some dems were in that same boat. I just think there’s a lot more problematic things that should be brought up first.

    There was a documentary that came out a while back, I can't remember the name but it basically made liberals fall in love with charter schools. As for the conversion therapy at troubled teen schools, libs have never had a problem with those places. Most of the extreme ones are in blue states.

        That's it. Thank you for the answer. I could not remember for the life of me.

      That's what libs say about them. "but Obama didn't separate the families!"

      Biden might as well call them by the old politically correct term from the Obama era. They were called "immigrant detention centers" back then.

    because they are going after republican voters and so they don't want to bring up "homosexuals"
