We all joke about dismembering Trump, so I guess this should have been expected.
Donald Trump 'joked Mike Pence wanted to hang all gay people'
Donald Trump once joked that his Vice President wanted to hang all gay people, a report has claimed.
Mr Trump repeatedly chided Vice President Mike Pence for his religious views during a meeting with a legal scholar, according to the New Yorker’s Jane Meyer. During a discussion about LGBTQ rights, the President motioned to Mr Pence and said: “Don’t ask that guy—he wants to hang them all!”
Mr Pence is known for his religious conservatism, which makes him highly popular with the GOP’s Christian base. But it has reportedly caused friction with the less-devout Mr Trump, who has spoken at conservative Christian conferences but does not attend church regularly.
At the same meeting, the group reportedly spoke about Roe v Wade – the Supreme Court decision legalising abortion across the United States. The legal scholar argued that attempts to overturn the decision were pointless, as states would simply legalise abortion on their own.
“You see?” Mr Trump asked his Vice President. “You’ve wasted all this time and energy on it, and it’s not going to end abortion anyway.”
At other times, Ms Meyer reports, Mr Trump would snidely ask campaign staffers if Mr Pence had made them pray with him.
