ā€œI think one of the reasons why President Donald Trump was elected is because heā€™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 heā€™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 Penceā€™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€œAnd by ā€˜detractorsā€™ I mean those who would question anything he says or does - by ā€˜unfair criticismsā€™ I, of course, mean the truth.ā€

Pence defended Trumpā€™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 itā€™s actually a close race between Trump and Dense as to which of them is more loathsome.

Donald Trump a fighter? No, heā€™s the typical whiny bully who canā€™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.
