This administration is going to give us all whiplash.
Good luck trying to clean up the mess called Trump. I think allies will always be skeptical.
Congratulations to Mike Pence on becoming the first mop and bucket to become Vice President.
“Rest assured, both the President and I strongly support a free and independent press.”
Except when he doesn’t:
”Gov. Mike Pence is starting a state-run taxpayer-funded news outlet that will make pre-written news stories available to Indiana media, as well as sometimes break news about his administration, according to documents obtained by The Indianapolis Star.…”
“Rest assured, both the President and I strongly support a free and independent press,” Pence told reporters in Brussels, Belgium, per a White House pool report.
He said that Trump will continue to “call out” the press if it plays "fast and loose with the facts."
Yet Trump cannot stand it when the press calls him out for the very same thing.
The level of hypocrisy from Republicans has reached heretofore unseen heights.
Huh. That’s interesting: Because then Gov. Pence wasn’t quite interested in an independent media in his own home state of IN. But now that his job is magnified on a global scale, his job is “sounding sane”. At least, in comparison.
Clean up on aisle Press, Clean up on aisle Press.
Could somebody just tell Trump to stop saying stupid things.
Somebody, probably Bannon, winds Trump up, sends him out to talk and Pence has to clean stuff up.
A “unique abilty to speak directly to the American people”!?! That’s some infuriating bullshit right there. Speak directly to the most paranoid, delusional, conspriacy-minded and racist segment of the American people, now THAT sounds more like it.
Having your vice president need to assure people that the president believes the 1st Amendment is legitimate? Just more of that winning he promised, I guess
Pence, with shovel in hand, follows behind Trump, cleans up his poop, tosses in the dumpster, and then gets back in line. Repeats. No backbone. Sad!!
…That’s already been tried…and fired, probably. BTW Has anyone seen KAConJob in the last few days?
OK, but what’s in Pence’s heart?
He said that Trump will continue to “call out” the press if it plays “fast and loose with the facts.”
By making up his OWN facts.
Pence and Trump aren’t just supposed to support an independent press, they’re supposed to defend an independent press. That’s the oath they took and if they don’t, they’re in violation of that oath and in violation of their sole responsibility to be President and Vice President.
Someone needs to hit him with that fact.
I can see why Pence did not convince the EU leaders. He’s not very convincing.
Vice-president hard at work.
It’s been done numerous times. It never sticks, though.
Can someone explain what “independent” means to both the Pres. and the VP?
