There’s nothing wrong with being a porn star, but this attack frames it as if there is.
How?
The attack frames it as being wrong in the context of Mike Pence's morals. It's not slut shaming, it's saying that Mike Pence is a slut shamer, and yet is hypocritically okay with this.
Maybe based on the condensed paraphrased headline. What he actually said was:
"There’s a classic parlor game of trying to find a little bit of daylight between running mates and if people want to play that game we could look into why an evangelical Christian like Mike Pence wants to be on a ticket with a president caught with a porn star "
To me that's pretty clearly saying that being "caught with a porn star" is bad, and Mike Pence is a hypocrite if he supports that while claiming to be a good Christian.
It's using the operative phrase "porn star" as the shock word in the attack.
