Twitter pounds Indiana's Mike Pence: 'Enjoy your last term as Governor, you ass backward dipsh*t'

In a speech following the signing of the bill, Pence defended his actions saying, "If I thought it legalized discrimination I would have vetoed it." Across the country many disagreed with the governor, once believed to harbor national aspirations, and expressed themselves bluntly.
