Leviticus 19:13

A reporter needs to ask Pence about


"Do not defraud or Rob your neighbor.

Do not hold back the wages of a hired worker overnight."

Personally I will ask religious acquaintances the same.

In fact Trump not only has a history of not paying, short paying and holding back the wages of hired workers, it is his standard operating procedure.

Is there a stronger more applicable word than Hypocrite? There needs to be.
