Vice President Mike Pence made a visit to one of the Trump administration's overcrowded detention centers last week.

Pence, who frequently refers to his devout Evangelical Christianity as the driving force behind his decisions in government, both as Governor of Indiana and as Vice President, appeared less than Christian to many people after photos and video of the VP's visit were released.

Shortly after, the hashtag #FakeChristian began to trend online.


Here are some of the images that people found appalling for a "deeply Christian" man:



People, and at least one deity, began to share the many ways they found Pence and people like him to be a #FakeChristian.













And one person summed up the idea of a #FakeChristian in a single cartoon in response to Pastor Greg Locke hurling White nationalist rhetoric at Representative Ilhan Omar on Twitter.

If only there were some book that told Christians how to treat the refugee, the foreigner, the poor, the hungry, the sick...

Conservative Tries To Claim Disney+ Show Is Somehow Satanic Due To Joke—And Gets Instantly Fact-Checked

Trump Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.

Dem Rep. Has An Idea For A New Line Of Work For MTG After She Leaves Congress—And It Would Certainly Be Something

California Democratic Representative Robert Garcia was elected in November 2022 and even before being sworn in, he was locking horns with one-time MAGA darling and Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.

For years, MTG was best known as the QAnon conspiracy theory-spewing, State of the Union heckling, crossfit hyping, Trump ride-or-dying, anti-LGBTQ+ racist MAGA minion from Georgia.
