Is Pence this fricking stupid or was it one of his staffers because this is fricked up and only adds to the public's perception that he embraces religious intolerance.

Forward.com

Vice President Mike Pence was joined by a Jews for Jesus ‘rabbi’ who prayed for the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting at a Republican campaign rally in Michigan on Monday.

Messianic Jewish Rabbi Loren Jacobs of Synagogue Shema Yisrael intoned prayers to “Jesus the Messiah” and denounced the “hate inspired shooting in synagogue in Pittsburgh” before Pence spoke at the rally in Grand Rapids.

Messianic Jews believe in Jesus Christ and focus on seeking to convert Jews to their unusual belief system. Most mainstream Jewish groups do not accept them as legitimate Jews. Some retweeted stories about Pence’s rally with the hashtag #FakeJews, a play on Trump’s penchant for bashing the media.

Confused about this one. Thought Jews didn’t believe Jesus is the messiah?

He's a Messianic Jew. Still a Jew. Still a Rabbi. But he does believe that Jesus is the Messiah.

The word Pence must be French for ignorant.

I'm a Republican but this is the equivalent of having a Christian Church massacre in McComb, Mississippi by a Muslim and then having a former Christian who converted to Islam Muslim give a sympathy sermon.

Does it matter? If it were a staffer, Pence should have at least done cursory check on this guy, or at least have someone who is a pragmatist who lives in the real world on his staff.....is he that beholden to the whacked wing of the Evangelicals ?

The apostles were messianic Jews.

There have always been messianic jews.

They are no less Jewish.

That is the point. They're Christians, not Jews.

Bad look for Pence.

It was not a pence staffer nor pence himself that had anything to do with this rabbi being invited.

He was invited by the person hosting the event

Please link me evidence it was a pence staffer who invited him?
