To the Editor:
Re “Trump Taps Pence to Lead Response as Virus Spreads” (front page, Feb. 27):
Why should we be worried by President Trump’s naming Vice President Mike Pence to coordinate the government’s response to the coronavirus? Mr. Pence has an established and proven record in the scientific field.
Many of us remember that Mr. Pence wrote: “Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill.” He is also a longtime climate change denier. And, of course, he has denigrated the theory of evolution while championing creationism.
As governor of Indiana, when H.I.V. started its rampage, Mr. Pence’s proposed solution was to have those seeking assistance change their sexual behavior. He initially refused to open needle exchange programs to stop the spread of the virus. Instead, he said the most important thing we can do is “pray.”
Mike Pence has succeeded already, because that is exactly what I am doing now. Not only for myself and my family but for my country.

There is some more stuff about this fucking moron at Newsweek:
FROM 'SMOKING DOESN'T KILL' TO CONVERSION THERAPY—MIKE PENCE'S MOST CONTROVERSIAL SCIENCE REMARKS
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Mike Pence, the Vice President of the United States, is a know-nothing anti-science Christian asshole. Global warming and evolution makes this fucking moron cry. Virtually everyone in Trump's administration is creationist asshole. And thanks to the liberal fucktards of the Democratic Party and their love for a socialist asshole, we will be stuck with Trump and Pence for another 4 years.
