Pence calls Los Angeles Dodgers' decision to honor Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence 'deeply offensive'

Tim Busch, minority owner of two professional sports teams, weighs in on the L.A. Dodgers re-inviting anti-Catholic drag queens a Pride event.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is speaking out against the decision by Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers to welcome an LGBTQIA+ group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at the team's annual Pride Night.

The former vice president, taking to Twitter on Wednesday, said that Dodger's decision to honor the group after it rescinded its original invitation was "deeply offensive."

Pence, who's expected to launch a 2024 Republican presidential campaign next week, expressed his opinions as he retweeted a Fox News Digital story regarding the controversy.

"Having been raised in a Catholic family, the Dodgers decision to invite the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a hateful group that blatantly mocks Catholicism, to their event next month is deeply offensive," Pence wrote on Twitter. "Last summer the MLB moved their All-Star Game out of Georgia over a lie about voter ID and now they are apologizing and welcoming anti-Catholic bigots back to Dodger Stadium with open arms."

The former vice president, a social conservative who's long been a champion to evangelical voters, argued that "the MLB should not be apologizing to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, they should be apologizing to Catholics across America. America’s pastime should respect the faith of every American no matter what."
