Mike Pence, a Picture, a Prayer, and a Healthy Dose of Perspective

As I travel around the country, I’m often asked whether 2016 and the rise of Donald Trump changed me in any way.
We may have opposed him in the election, but we helped create the cultural and political conditions in which Trump thrives.
And a recent online spat over a picture of Mike Pence praying illustrated exactly how my mind and heart have changed in four short years.
Write a piece that critiques the tweet and explains to my secular friends that, no, Mike Pence isn’t trying to pray the virus away.
But is Thomas Chatterton Williams’s tweet evidence about what “the left” believes about Christians, or is it evidence of what he thinks about Mike Pence?
