Asked Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" if she believes U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is "an honorable man," Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts shot back without hesitation her one-word answer: "No."
Asked by show host Mika Brzezinski if she wanted to expand, Warren said: "Sure. Anyone who engages in the kind of homophobia and attacks on people who are different from himself is not an honorable person. That's not what honorable people do."

The comment comes about ten days after after former vice president Joe Biden took heat for calling Pence--despite his right-wing views, persistent attacks on women's rights, and homophobic and transphobic positions--a "decent guy" during public remarks.
In response to Biden's remark, Warren said during a campaign stop in Iowa that she disagreed with her follow Democrat on Pence.
"I'm sorry, I followed Pence's history on LBGTQ Americans and I don't think that is a decent position," Warren told a reporter asking about the issue.
"You don't think the vice president is a decent man?" the journalist asked in a followup.
"No," Warren said.
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back.
