Former Vice President Mike Pence said he was “heartened” to learn that Julia Curlee, a transgender former CIA officer who served as his daily intelligence briefer during President Donald Trump‘s first term, spoke warmly of their relationship, despite his long record of opposing LGBTQ policies.
“I appreciate the kind words. My conservative values are fairly well-known, but maybe some people didn’t quite know that among our Christian values is my wife, and I believe in treating others the way that we’d like to be treated, with decency and respect. And I was heartened to hear Julia reflect that that was the experience that took place in our office,” Pence said on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday.
