Secular Uproar Over Mike Pence’s Protection of His Marriage Goes Over the Top“After it was revealed that Mike Pence adopted the ‘Billy Graham Rule’ long ago, the Vice-President is now accused of being ‘sexist’ and out-of-touch with the modern world. Which begs the question: How out of touch do Beltway insiders continue to be with Evangelicals?” – Teresa Neumann, reporter
The article highlights the bond between the Pences and the commitment to their marriage that they both share. At one point it quotes an interview with The Hill from 2002, where Mike Pence said that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won't attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either. The exact quote from The Hill reads, "'If there's alcohol being served and people are being loose, I want to have the best-looking brunette in the room standing next to me,' Pence said.'" For a majority of conservative religious people, this statement, made 15 years ago by the now Vice President sounds normal — sound advice to married couples to guard themselves from temptation. Billy Graham actually made a similar rule for himself and the other pastors working in his ministry. Back in 1948 Graham, was speaking with his colleagues about the temptation of sexual immorality that they'd seen other evangelists encounter. After further discussion, they decided that in order to avoid any situations that would compromise them or bring on suspicion, they would not, "travel, meet, or eat alone with a woman other than my wife." In today's culture, this is not a sentiment embraced by a majority of secular America. In response to the Washington Post article, an outcry is growing on Twitter, fueled by people reacting with surprise and anger to the Pence family rule. CBN News
