Pence the coward has gone to ground...which, in this case, is the editorial page of the WSJ: Politico: Pence Reaps the Whirlwind:
Pence defended the law in a rocky appearance on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, saying that the outrage was based on “misinformation and misunderstanding.” Grilled by host George Stephanopoulos, he argued that the legislation is no different than the federal bill passed under President Bill Clinton in 1993 and the bill Barack Obama helped pass while serving in the Illinois Legislature. All told, Pence dodged five pointed yes-or-no questions about the bill’s implications and another few about whether he would support a statewide anti-discrimination law for LGBT citizens, retreating to platitudes about Indiana’s “Hoosier hospitality.”
By late Monday, a number of potential 2016 candidates such as Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson were lining up behind Pence and providing political cover.
But their support did little to take the heat off. Pence canceled two public appearances for Monday and Tuesday, choosing the friendlier confines of The Wall Street Journal op-ed page, where he reiterated that he “abhor[s] discrimination.”
They aren't even bothering to pretend that it was "pressing state business" that was the cause.
WISH TV:
Governor Mike Pence has cancelled his appearance on Tuesday at the Lincoln Day Dinner in Bloomington.
GOP Party Chairman for Monroe County Steve Hogan confirmed to 24-Hour News 8 that Pence will no longer appear at the dinner. Instead Greg Zoeller will attend the dinner.
Hogan said the planned protests at the event were part of the reason for the cancellation.
A protest was organized via Facebook to take place during the dinner that is scheduled to start at 5 p.m.
Question for Pence: if you haven't got the courage to attend your own party's events in your own state, how can you hope to run the country?
PS: Very funny intro to that Politico piece:
A priest, a rabbi and half a dozen nuns walked into the Indiana Statehouse last Thursday. The punch line: Mike Pence.
