Over the summer, women in red seemed to follow the vice president around the Northeast. First, Pence was met with roughly 100 protesters dressed in red when he arrived in Philadelphia for a Republican fund-raiser. Days later, the same organization that pulled that protest together offered an encore in Manhattan, where Pence attended a cyber-security summit.

As one of the protestors said, “For [Pence], looking at the Bible literally, he thinks that is the kind of rule that should exist in this country. Throughout history, the ruling class has used the Bible to enslave people, to make them think that’s their place.”
