He broke from the mostly optimistic tone of his speech to deliver warnings against Christian persecution by the 'secular left.'

Vice President Mike Pence addressed graduating seniors at Liberty University in Virginina on Saturday, telling students at the Christian school to “be ready” to face persecution from the “secular left” over their religious beliefs.

His address at the Lynchburg, Virginia, college — co-founded in 1971 by prominent evangelical preacher Jerry Fallwell — specifically included mentions of Hollywood actors boycotting Georgia over the state's recently passed anti-abortion law, as well as jabs at those who criticized his wife Karen Pence for teaching art at Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Virginia.

Pence also praised President Donald Trump over the low unemployment rate and told the students they were fortunate to graduate under a White House administration that has advanced “the very principles and values” that students learn at the religious university.

Vice President Pence to graduates: Be prepared to be ridiculed for being ChristianVice President Mike Pence told Liberty University graduates that they have to be ready to be ridiculed for their Christian faith. conservative right have formed their own brand of Christianty ! one that rationalizes that worldly wealth and possessions are OK to covet ! People who espouse hate because their religion supports a concept of “we are better than you because we cherry picked this statement from the Bible and you are therefore a sinner and beneath us” are the one who get ridiculed. As they should. Nobody ridicules Christians, what is he even talking about? We don't like nut jobs, or people that twist their religion around to fit their selfish, greedy practices
