How can you tweet that you find a Muslim ban offensive and unconstitutional 14 months earlier and then spearhead that same movement a little over a year later? I get that real politics is the art of compromise but at some point you sell your fucking soul.
The reason this doesn't matter is because the supporters of Pence see that it's a lie, then assume everyone else lies that baldly. This assumption that "they all lie like this" allows them to continue supporting Pence/the liar and not have to change their worldview or those who they support.
When shown that other people do not in fact lie that baldly or reverse their positions to something so horrible that quickly, the supporters will go to great lengths to ignore or minimize this. They will not admit that this is wrong and that "their guy" is a crook worse than what they fear others are.
