To the editor: The headline, “Vice President Mike Pence stays loyal to Trump, but it could come at a cost,” should have read “has come at a cost.” There’s not a bigger phony in Washington right now than Vice President Mike Pence. He touted his Christian values during the campaign and currently does so as vice president, and yet he defends a man whose morals sink below anything that Jesus would view as acceptable. Pence should step down from the moral high ground and just show us who he truly is. Steve Grimm, Fountain Valley..To the editor: Your report tells how President Trump’s initial Cabinet meeting afforded Pence an opportunity to showcase his role as Trump’s preeminent cheerleader. With Pence providing the cue, that meeting quickly degenerated into a festival of sycophants gushing praise on their dear leader.
