"Mike Pence loses it"

The Article covers a story of a openly gay Olympian refusing to meet with Pence. Pence put out two tweets saying he supports all Olympians. The author had some choice words to say over his clear hatred for Homosexuals.

Wishful Thinking 
"Judging from his life’s work, he ought to be thrilled to not have to talk to a gay person"

Because Pence was for trying to "fix" gay people he hates talking to them. The author is happy to write off Pence completely for his previous work. It may not be so long ago but the author is completely against the possibility of Pence having a wider view of Homosexuality.

Poisoning the Well
"I personally am very much looking forward the next chapter of this saga featuring the very flustered and Rippon-obsessed Pence."
"It’s pretty strange that Pence is seriously losing it over being called out for his own dehumanizing views on LGBTQ community"

Pence is obsessed, he is losing it, he put out desperate tweets. I think he is doing damage control because as vice president he doesn't want to look like a complete tool that he is made out to be. He isn't saying anything bad he said he wants the US Olympians to bring gold home and that he supports all of them.
