All I\u2019ve said all along is to use the brain God gave you. Use it. Randomly saying he\u2019s\u00a0pro-life and will appoint pro-life justices when all of his\u00a0actions point to the fact that he\u2019s\u00a0a womanizing animal does not make a candidate pro-life.<\/p>\n<p>You could have said \u201cwe endorse no one this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You made a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Repent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Prolife protip: \u00a0If you want to be taken seriously, don\u2019t go to the mat denying, excusing, and defending sexual predators.<\/p>\n<p>The stony silence of Mike Pence, Fr.
