Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday that it is “beyond the pale” for Virginia state to sanction a church for holding a 16-person church service on Palm Sunday.
Pence was responding to news that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is siding with the Lighthouse Fellowship Church on Chincoteague Island, which is suing Gov. Ralph Northam after a pastor was threatened with a $2,500 fine or jail time for violating the state’s CCP virus lockdown restrictions.
