If you get your news from Faux News, you're part of the problem. 

Are you denying that Pence wrote the op-ed pieces? To recap:

“Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill.”

"On climate change, Pence says CO2 from burning fuels can’t be the cause of increased global temperatures because it “is a naturally occurring phenomenon in nature…” not an unnatural one. He also mixes up India and Indonesia."

Pence says George Washington was a Republican: “Republicans, from George Washington to George W. Bush just have better ideas.” Washington didn’t belong to any political party and famously warned against them in his farewell address.

In 1991, when Pence lost his campaign for Congress, he wrote an article about how he ran a negative campaign.
