The women of ABC News’ “The View” took a shot a Vice President Mike Pence’s Christian faith on Tuesday, mocking the former governor of Indiana for talking to Jesus and even calling it a “mental illness.”
It all started when they played a clip from “Celebrity Big Brother,” in which former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman discussed the vice president
“As bad as you think Trump is, you would be worried about Pence… everyone that is wishing for impeachment might want to reconsider their life,” she said in the clip. “I am Christian, I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things.”
The talk-show panelists pondered what Omarosa’s motive was, before Sunny Hostin chimed in, “I think what’s interesting is that she said Jesus tells Mike Pence things to say.”
Hostin declared that Pence is a “hated figure” in Indiana, claiming she knows firsthand because she attended law school in the state.
“He’s not very popular at all,” she said. “I think when you have a Mike Pence who now sort of puts this religious veneer on things and calls people ‘values voters,’ I think we’re in a dangerous situation.”
Hostin said she is a “faithful” Catholic but doesn’t want her vice president “speaking in tongues.”
Joy Behar then said: “It’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you.”
Behar said hearing voices is a “mental illness” before Sherri Shepard offered a limited defense of Pence.
“As a Christian, that’s just par for the course,” Shepard said “You talk to Jesus, Jesus talks back. What concerns me is, how long is the conversation with Jesus?”
Behar, an ABC News star, uncomfortably joked, “Can he talk to Mary Magdalene without his wife in the room?”
Shepard then said that the key is “moderation” and anything that is “too much” is concerning.
“Do we want our politics served to us with a religious veneer over them?” Hostin asked. “This administration is not a values-driven administration.

If everyone who opposed The View, would call the number below to contact ABC and tell them
that the view is offensive to Christianity and that we will no longer
buy products of their sponsors, it will get their attention. Also
contact the sponsors. I will have to dig to find out who they are or
watch the program if I can put up with it, in order to find out who the
sponsors are. This will be my comment to them : I am contacting ABC,
because I find programs such as The View, to be highly offensive to my
religious beliefs. As a Christian, I believe in prayer and believe the
bible to be the word of God. The bible itself speaks of hearing from
God. (My people will know my voice). When I hear those on the view
saying that Vice President Pence has a mental illness because he hears
from God, it is very unsettling. I guarantee that they would never say
such things about other religions, especially those of the mid-eastern
nations. I will also be contacting the sponsors of this show to make my
complaint turn to action. ……….Contact ABC customer service line
