US Vice President Mike Pence is currently in Ireland, and the White House has said his meeting with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar proves he is not "anti-gay".
Pence and his wife Karen joined the Taoiseach and his partner Matthew Barrett for lunch today at Farmleigh House.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere tweeted the following:
For all of you who still think our @VP is anti-gay, I point you to his and the @SecondLady’s schedule tomorrow where they will join Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar and his partner Dr. Matthew Barrett for lunch in Ireland. 🇮🇪 @merrionstreet pic.twitter.com/Cj5kMpln0U

Pence has been criticised for his views on LGBTQ rights, and Amnesty International organised a dance outside the Dáil this afternoon to protest his visit.
Cal Thomas and Marion McKeone discussed this and the other talking points of Pence's visit, including his stance on Brexit.
They also talked about the Tennessee school that has removed the Harry Potter books from its library because of the apparent risk of evil spirits being conjured.
