It’s Not Who We Are As A People.” “‘I think it is shameful that presidential candidates in this day and age would try to give cover to a law — that is sweeping across a lot of Republican-governed states — that attempts to give license to discrimination of gay and lesbian people,’ O’Malley, a potential Democratic presidential candidate, told reporters after a ‘Politics and Eggs’ breakfast in Bedford, N.H. ‘It’s wrong. It’s not who we are as a people.’” [USA Today, 3/31/15] Bernie Sanders: “I Think That [Pence] Is On The Wrong Side Of History,’ He Told Bloomberg. ‘This Country Has Made Huge Progress In Ending Discrimination Toward The Gay Community. Legislation Like What He’s Supporting Is Outrageous.” “In an interview, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders denounced Indiana's law. ‘I think that [Pence] is on the wrong side of history,’ he told Bloomberg. ‘This country has made huge progress in ending discrimination toward the gay community. Legislation like what he’s supporting is outrageous.’” [Bloomberg, 4/1/15]
