Vice President Mike Pence hit back Wednesday at comments made on ABC's "The View" comparing his hearing from Jesus Christ to mental illness.

On Tuesday, the panelists on the talk show discussed former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman's recent comment on the reality TV show "Celebrity Big Brother" about Pence's faith. She said, "I am Christian, I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things."

On "The View," Joy Behar commented, "It's one thing to talk to Jesus. It's another thing when Jesus talks to you. That's called mental illness, if I'm not correct, hearing voices."

Pence said during a broadcast with Axios journalist Mike Allen, "I actually heard that ABC has a program that compared my Christianity to mental illness. And I'd like to laugh about it, but I really can't."

"It's just wrong," Pence continued. "And it's an insult not to me, but to the vast majority of the American people who, like me, cherish their faith. My Christianity is the most important thing in my life."

Another member of "The View" team, Sunny Hostin, said of Pence's faith, "I'm Catholic, I'm a faithful person, but I don't know that I want my vice president speaking in tongues."

Pence also stated during the Axios interview, "I try to start every day by opening the Good Book. My wife and I try to have a prayer together before I leave every morning. I can honestly tell you my faith sustains me in all that I do and it's just a regular part of our lives. But I'm not unusual. I think I'm a very typical American, whatever your faith tradition, people understand that."

"But I just think it demonstrates just how out of touch some in the mainstream media are with the faith and values of the American people that you could have a major network like ABC permit a forum for invective against religion like that," Pence continued. "And I call them out on it. Not because of what was said about me. But it's just simply wrong for ABC to have a television program that expresses that kind of religious intolerance."

"We're better than that. Our country's better than that," Pence concluded. "I'd like to be light about it, but I really can't. Not for my sake, but for the tens of millions of Americans who cherish their faith, I can't be silent."

God speaks to everyone who takes care to be quiet enough to hear. It's actually ridiculous comparing his faith to mental illness.
How many people with such "mental illness" have been taking guns to shoot people or throwing bombs for mass slaughter.
We need to stop making fun of other people's faith so far it works for them.

This is just confirming that the liberal mainstream media and the left are all anti God or anti Christ.

God does speak to people but the devilish liberal media in America is just doing the work of their father the devil by trying to make it seem crazy. God is all powerful so why do they think it's something difficult for God to do? God speaks to his children everyday. And this should be a warning to all those Christians supporting Democratic liberals in the US. Those guys are antichristian and enemies of God. Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and co are all devils agents. All they are doing is to promote the kingdom of their father the devil and oppose God and his children. Trump is the only person standing in the way of their antichristian agenda in the US right now and that's why they've gotten their lackeys in the media to paint him black. It's the blind and gullible Christians that are easily deceived into supporting these devil inspired people just like they were following after that guy called freeze who is just another agent of the devil

It just shows you what spirit influences these liberals, its a matter of right and left, good and evil, truth and lies and the liberals have made their stand known.
