President Trump joked Pence 'wants to hang' all gay people

President Donald Trump once joked that Vice President Mike Pence “wants to hang” all gay people, The New Yorker reported. The publication also reports that President Trump has mocked Vice President Pence for his views opposing abortion and LGBTQ rights. President Trump jabbed at Pence after a legal scholar told the pair that if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, many states would probably legalize abortion. “You see?” Trump reportedly said to Pence. “You’ve wasted all this time and energy on it, and it’s not going to end abortion anyway.” And when the meeting began to focus on gay rights, Trump reportedly pointed to Pence, joking, “Don’t ask that guy — he wants to hang them all!” One Trump campaign staffer also told The New Yorker that Trump used to ask people leaving meetings with Pence, “Did Mike make you pray?"
