President Trump's controversial decision to temporarily ban refugees from countries of Muslim faith is already drawing criticism from citizens who feel the ban is just an act of discrimination. But one of the most surprising criticisms of his ban happens to come from his own vice president, Mike Pence. On Dec. 8, 2015, just one day after Trump called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" while campaigning to be president, Pence (then governor of Indiana) tweeted, "Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional."
