ā€œI think one of the reasons why President Donald Trump was elected is because he’s a fighter. The American people who will fight for their future, who will fight for American jobs, fight to make America strong in the world again, but also he’s willing to make his case and to challenge his detractors when unfair criticisms come his way,ā€ Pence replied

ā€œWhere do I start?ā€

In Pence’s Point of View calling the entire media ā€œThe Enemy of the Peopleā€ = supporting a free press, but calling them out when they have it wrong. Blink. Silence.

edited: clarification - the blink and silence = my reaction being stunned of the blatant statement delivered so seriously.

ā€œā€¦ but also he’s willing to make his case and to challenge his detractors when unfair criticisms come his way,ā€ Pence replied.
ā€œAnd by ā€˜detractors’ I mean those who would question anything he says or does - by ā€˜unfair criticisms’ I, of course, mean the truth.ā€

Pence defended Trump’s attacks on the media arguing that Trump is just pushing back against ā€œfabricatedā€ stories.

Trump is not a compulsive liar, ā€œthe mediaā€ is. How Orwellian:

Hard to believe, but it’s actually a close race between Trump and Dense as to which of them is more loathsome.

Donald Trump a fighter? No, he’s the typical whiny bully who can’t handle being stood up to by anyone.

Patience grasshopper.
The great Trump was reading his rehearsed lines written for him by a flunky.
Experience has shown us he can only keep that up for a very short period of time before he goes off the reservation again.
Just get someone to bait him with. ā€œHillary got more votesā€
The return of Batshit crazy is just around the corner.
Guaranteed

Press normalizing Trump = Enemy of free people.

And remember: War sells newspapers. Just ask Judith Miller, the mistress of fake news at the Old Grey Whore.
