Vice President Mike Pence speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Md., on March 1. By Cynthia Nixon March 2 at 1:20 PM Cynthia Nixon is an actor and advocate for progressive causes.When a chorus of progressives and LGBTQ activists, including myself, pointed out that a man who has built his career on homophobia and misogyny cannot possibly be considered “decent,” some dismissed it as just outrage Twitter.
Pence played a leading role in the Trump administration’s efforts to ban transgender people from military service, and he serves in an administration that seeks to define transgender Americans out of existence by stripping federal recognition of their gender identity. This is a man whose abhorrence of queer people is so notorious that even President Trump reportedly once joked that Pence “wants to hang them all.
It’s easy to say nice things about Pence when you’re not personally threatened by his agenda. If Biden were being directly attacked in the same way that our community is, I think he would see Pence from a very different vantage point.
Excellent column.
And he approves of and supports a known philanderer and a pathological liar that lies every day if his life. That makes him a Judas and God will make him pay dearly.
Yes!
Pence is essentially a Nazi guard, following orders and hoping no one remembers his name when the trials start up
People really cant tell that a healthy human would put others and society over him/herself & temptations is decent? Theres no hope in putting itches first. Helping SelfDestruction, enabling a higher suicide rate then any group. Warning or offering truth is not insidious
VP Mike Pence Trump is an openly pathetic fascistic clown an embarrassment for the US Mike Pence is a duplicitous theocrat far more dangerous to the US and our western democracies -both should be voted out restoring the confidence in America
And she is mentally unstable
The WaPo has hit rock bottom
Dear Cynthia Nixon, You're convinced that because you & Pence disagree in beliefs, he's he's a monster & you're in the moral right. Fine. Yet people are misguided to see you as hysterical? He has some wild ideas, yet not widely supported. The WAPO is predictable & biased.
Pence like the rest of the republicans have no idea what the word decency means.
Cynthia Nixon and Ellen Page are both caught up in pain. I empathize. Pence, however, is not evil. Somewhat misguided, yes. But to Page, he 'doesn't hate' people who are gay. Amazing how the tolerant ones are so full of venom and blame.
Is every person having affiliation with GOP is bad and associated with TheDemocrats r Angels? How could media n journalists be so partial?Is this same 4th pillar of democracy, founding fathers were proud of? realDonaldTrump nypost FakeNews latimes AFP
I was having trouble describing him in my mind. Couldn’t figure it out but now I’m clear.
Fools and the people who care about her crappy opinion. Can't wait for the high school kid to win his lawsuit. Goodby WP
Pence is worse than Trump! At least Trump has the defense that he's politically ignorant, intellectually challenged and emotionally retarded. Pence however has been a politician for a long time, and I'd say he is about as corrupt as corrupt can be.
He is radical, very.
In The Times of Racism. Who are here, Even son despite the president, RUSSIAN. America was, is and will be Great
🔥 🔥 🔥
It’s about time the media started pointing out Pence is not only insidious w/his racist & homophobic views, but also is in total & complete dereliction of duty! No one can convince me he knows nothing or witnessed none of the numerous crimes committed in or by the White House!
And you are a certified voter reject. I’d say go back to what you do best but then you were not that good an actress, any other skill sets. Never mind, besides your opinions are moot, so why do you bother...
Absolutely
Don't tweet stuff you won't let us read.
And she is right.
Preach! Bravo. Also Miranda was always my fave SATC character!
Why because you’re a lesbian.
When I see those attacking Pence, I like him more.
He's a demon sleeper cell
chari_fish He looks like the walking dead with those dark shadows all around his eyes, if you saw him come out of a dark room you might faint
Dems push replay of old TV series
Oh lord, you have no idea, Cynthia
He is a traitor too 💯%
The bigotry of Mike and Karen Pence is disgusting! They should not be allowed to represent America!
Ok. Opinions are like ... everyone has one
Tricky Cindy should talk.
Satan in a suit.
Those who act accordingly to its values are considered to be decent. You can be a decent thief, or a decent liar, or a decent politician, all depends what is decent for you.
Creepy!!
Absolutely...ask most anyone from Indiana...
These comments make me laugh... boy the left has some serious mental issues 😂
Pathetic. The leftists have no facts, no argument for their lunacy, so they personally attack people. Nixon's opinion is irrelevant, she's a nothing.
Delavegalaw Crooked as a barrel of fish hooks that guy, Pence.
Yes because now we call evil good and good evil. Use to be deviant NOW WE ARE please get yr head on STRAIGHT
Pence's wincing expression. Comes from his ability to actually taste the shit that comes out of his mouth.
He's indecent in every sense of the word. Insidious is absolutely correct. Vile.
I always take seriously the opinions of people who play make-believe for a living.
mike_pence
And remember this is coming from a Nixon
Mike Pence is obviously a very decent man. Cynthia Nixon is obviously a wash up troll.

Oh good. More fakenews about Pence 🙄
Amen.
Why are the Dems so against the wall ? Q knows. Annons know, the storm is here.
She’s absolutely correct.
That's as bad as it gets folks. insidious means evil.
Actually Biden was himself being decent on the World stage. Not absolving Pence, who we know is a horrible person.
Agree!
Your newspaper is a left wing propaganda rag and nothing more😫
Of course that creature would say that.
For exampe, killing babies is very humane.
FFS CynthiaNixon Democrats kinda sorta gotta stick together at this crucial time. But putting that aside u didn’t even understand Biden’s comments!Sometimes it’s fine to be polite to your successor or predecessor EVEN IF YOU DISAGREE POLITICALLY. That’s what we wanted from Trump
Who ?
Why does the sorry ass medie post about what some actor says ? Really who gives a shit!!!!

The Democrat party as we know it today, is set on destroying family values. According to them, if your Christian, straight & conservative. Your “insidious,” racist & homophobic. Insidious, are the Democrats pushing bills for Infantcide. Allowing abortion to the point of labor!🤮
This this the current GOP strategy under Trump: Push conservatives as far right as possible. I think they undereatimated just how far they could go. They are loving every minute of his while they line their pockets with cash.
Biden was right. VP Mike Pence really is a decent guy. Cynthia Nixon doesn't know him. She may be relying on what her WaPo superiors told her to write.
I'm sure vp gets a tingle in his underpants every time he thinks about Gilead.
'I hate anyone who is against killing babies' - also Cynthia Nixon probably
“In a democracy anyone can be president; anyone who doesn't mature can be vice president.” Idea credit to Johnny Carson
Davidlaz Mike Pence watches The Handmaid’s Tale and thinks it’s depiction of utopia, not a dystopia.
The clean cut conservative equates to evil, gotcha
sabinenamba That he sure is. Spawn of S*t*n, not spokesperson for god.
VP Biden knew and worked with mike_pence and believes he's a decent man. But we're supposed to believe Cynthia Nixon -- who has never met/worked with him --knows his true character? Don't assume the people who disagree with you are also terrible people.
Correct! CynthiaNixon PencetheModernDayPharisee
Cynthia Nixon is insidious!
Good article.
Mike Pence.... latent That’s what tRump has on him. And why he hates LGBTQI
So clean it stinks.
There is not a nicer, more respectable, peace making, polite, tolerant man who loves his family and his country. He stands tall amongst men! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💕
Trump and Pence are a cancer that must be excised. Trump is out of control and Pence wants to be in control. He has the personality of an automaton. Makes me wonder if Rod Serling were alive how he would portray Pence on the twilight zone
real_farmacist That description is way to kind. Pence is an authoritarian religious zealot who wants rule by religion rather than rule by law. He wants America to be a Theocracy.
Well, even Jesus wasn't very well liked by EVERY LAST PERSON. But you'd think Ms Nixon would want as many voters voting for her as possible. Unless she's just running instead to get elected as a Congressional Rep, later, in a few years. Testing the water's so to speak.
How is it even worthy to mention Dixon?
🤣🤣🤣 The Hilary camp after pathetically failing to appease Pence (remember they tried to undermine Trump my jokingly & seriously claiming Pence would be POTUS after impeachment) finally caught up to the fact that not everyone are slimy snakes & they can't fool him. Pence 💪
Same old same old crap. 💩
🙄
Project much?
Oh 🙄
He's just another run-of-the-mill Republican bottom feeder.
cynthianixon Yes, if you disagree you are my enemy and you are immoral. We have a gulog for you. Get on the homosexual agreement bandwagon and using the courts to intimidate the states or else.
Cynthia Nixon isn't decent. She's a bully.
Yes, JoeBiden, you screwed the pooch on this one. If you think this zealot is decent, you need a new dictionary. I don't know a single dem that feels this way about him. Don't be this out of touch dude.
I compare VP to pancreatic cancer....CynthiaNixon
Decent means you support baby killing to Democrats.
While gov of Indiana, Pence signed legislation requiring women who miscarried or terminated pregnancies to hold funerals for their fetuses. Natch, the legislation was declared unconstitutional, but didn’t stop him from trying. Periods4Pence
Nixon isn’t decent. What has happened to the left?
Yesterday’s trash has more relevancy that this world class twit.
The reaction by CynthiaNixon & others to JoeBiden's polite (civil) praise of VP Pence makes 1 wonder what awaits those who don't get in line if D's ever regain total control. This is a glimpse. That's why many Evangelicals continue to back realDonaldTrump.

Nobody cares what she thinks. Report something news worthy.
Ayatollah Pence is a clear and present danger.
CynthiaNixon Democrats eating their own, especially a statesman like JoeBiden, isn’t a good look.
More propaganda from fake news
Pence was a lib when in college !
He is another one that is ill equipped and as morally repugnant as Trump!
VP hides behind Mother's apron. He is a closet pervert and a special friend (wink) of LindseyGrahamSC . SecondLady
Spot on!
Cynthia Nixon is a loon.
When you see 'Cynthia Nixon is an actor and advocate for progressive causes.' you can stop reading. fakenews
Don't call me decent I am a Republican.
Of course he's religious, since when religious people are decent
Why, does he promote slaughtering babies like she does?
Cynthia Nixon is a washed up actress on a show that made us all inherently more stupid
Shaqkeem1
Who cares what Cynthia Nixon thinks.
He’s what we get if (just) Trump is impeached.
Free Speech & the Right to Offend:
Headline should have been 'Cynthia Nixon blasts Joe Biden.'
Well she’s not wrong
Cynthia gives another boring, I have rights but you do not, speech
Oh, Gee . . . . Look, a Communist is mad at a Conservative . . . . who'd a Thunk?

Better than being straight forward and wrong!
Hilarious that an actress from Sex in the City is going to be the moral arbiter for Pence. She’s just another liberal loon. Someone at WaPo was a little too star struck and let this garbage grace it’s pages.
This is problem with our politics. People can't even call each other decent people? Seriously?You don't have to agree with the policies but don't need to insult the people. This leads to tribalism and more division and the media, left, and right are all complicit in the division.
Pence is the only reason I'm not excited about impeachment. Believe it or not, he's worse than Trump.
Is all you have to do is look at him to know it. SillyPutty
The baby-killing pedo-left is facing exposure and imprisonment, they are the wicked vermin. TheStorm
We should have more of such 'insidious' men - when the dfn of words originates in the left its a lie from start to finish.
Right 👏👏👏
Agreed. Sorry JoeBiden that statement was disqualifying in my book.
No way.. Mike is fine, what exactly has he done to be described as insidious, was it posting about how sad and upset he was when his beloved dog died?
He always has this look on his face as if he's watched someone drown and just sat there. Disturbing.
She’s in a cult. She has to say that
He's straight out of Stepford.
lul
Nixons have no say
She's right.
