Today on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127
Its official, Donald
Trump has announced in a Tweet that he has chosen Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to be
his running mate. Pence, who is perhaps best known for signing into law a
blatantly discriminatory “religious liberty” bill targeting LGBT people—then revising
the measure after it sparked coast-to-coast outcry. Joining me today to talk
all about Gov. Mike Pence and what his religious liberty flap demonstrated
about his about his him and why these qualities make him the ideal choice for
Trump’s vice president is Mark Joseph Stern of Slate who covers the law and
LGBT issues.
The Republican Party
has unveiled its list of speakers for their upcoming national convention and
most of those listed are elected officials and right-wing heroes such as Tim
Tebow, however hidden among the schedule is the relatively unknown Rev. Mark
Burns who according to Jack Jenkins
the Senior Religion Reporter for ThinkProgress,
is not your average rank-and-file right-wing evangelical minister, but a
preacher of the so-called “prosperity gospel,” a loose but growing Christian
movement. Jack joins me today to talk
all about this ultra-capitalist Christian sect and how they will be taking center
stage at the RNC, thanks to Donald Trump.
