Lady Gaga Destroys Mike and Karen Pence: ‘You Are the Worst Representation of What it Means to Be a Christian’

Lady Gaga did not hold back when talking about Vice President Mike Pence during a concert in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

The superstar singer and actress was responding to the news that Pence’s wife, Karen, has taken a job at a Christian school that discriminates against LGBTQ families.

“And to Mike Pence who thinks that it’s OK that his wife works at a school that bans LGBTQ. You’re wrong,” she said to cheering crowds at Park MGM, according to the Las Vegas-Review Journal. “You’re the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian.”

She added: ”I am a Christian woman, and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and everybody is welcome. So you can take all that disgrace, Mr. Pence, and look yourself in the mirror and you’ll find it right there.”

Gaga also spoke up about the shutdown, asking the “fucking president of the United States” to put the government back and noting that there are people that “live paycheck to paycheck that need their money.”

The comments came only days after reports surfaced that Karen Pence, the vice president’s wife, would begin teaching art at a private school that prohibits LGBT faculty and students.

Among other things, Immanuel Christian School requires potential employees to pledge that they believe marriage is between a man and a woman and that they do not engage in “homosexual or lesbian sexual activity” or “transgender identity,” according to an employment application.

Pence defended his wife’s job in an interview with EWTN last week, claiming that the U.S. has “a rich tradition of Christian education and, frankly, religious education broadly defined.”

“I have to tell you, to see major news organizations attacking Christian education is deeply offensive,” Pence, who is an evangelical christian, said.

He later argued that “this criticism of Christian education in America should stop.”
