VP Pence apparently couldn't find an actual rabbi. Instead he got a Christian leader of a group of Christians who call themselves "Messianic Jews". Yeshua = Jesus. Actual Jews paying attention to this are outraged at this decision, btw.

@HowardMortman
Rabbi Loren Jacobs of Messianic synagogue Shema Yisrael offers prayer before VP Pence speaks at Michigan campaign event: "God of Abraham ... God and Father of my Lord and Savior Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah...hate inspired shooting in synagogue in Pittsburgh"

This comment on Pence's deeply insulting, crass and offensive act sums it up:

@PithJayReaders
Such a Pencey move to lord his personal religious belief over people in an abuse of his political power- this was purposeful. And make no mistake Pence has handmaid's tale written all over him.

Time for a new thread? Maybe, fingers crossed, the next one will see the back of Trump. You know, mid-terms and all ...

New thread all - do join me on the dark side:
