Marc Short, chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday refused to condemn President Donald Trump for suggesting that a deceased Democratic lawmaker is burning in hell.

Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Short about the remarks, which Trump made a recent rally.

"You talk about morality and character," Wallace told Short. "I want to ask you about the president's comments in Michigan this week where he suggested that the late Congressman John Dingell might be in hell looking up rather than in heaven looking down."

"How do you explain the president making a comment that hurt [Debbie Dingell] so deeply?" the Fox News host continued. "You talk about Christmas, this will be her first Christmas in 38 years without her husband. And why won't he apologize?"

"I'm sorry that she's hurting," Short replied. "And I certainly wish her the best as she deals with the circumstances. I think that our administration respects the service of John Dingell in uniform. We respect his service to our country in Congress and we respect her service."

"I'm sorry she's in this circumstance today," he added. "You know, John Dingell was not exactly a wallflower and John Dingell called the president imbecile in his closing months."

Short noted that in spite of Dingell's remarks about Trump, the president claimed that the president called his widow with condolences.

"He lowered flags to half mast," he concluded. "I think this president is feeling in the midst of impeachment, that was something that came up at his rally speech."

1. Still no f**king excuse to use this kind of language...rump is not showing all that he doesn't ...

back down, he's showing all that he a big bully and coward. Nothing less. A pathetic hulk of a coward.

[The Wizard]

2. Just another question dodging Repubic (NT)

[CatMor]

3. All the trump defenders will be ...

the ones looking up instead of down with trump front and center. They are all lemmings.

4. Watching the video at the link Wallace was not grilling. He let short get the last word and he

asked one question. Seemed like a simple question with a simple answer that was accepted.

5. Unlike Trump, Pence ...

... is a true believer. And so presumably is Pence's chief of staff.

So while Marc Short might possibly privately admit it was incredibly stupid of Trump to say it out loud, he genuinely believes in Hell (and that Democrats go there).

So to condemn the statement would amount to publicly repudiating an essential doctrine of his religion.

Not excusing anything here, just pointing out that the evil insanity is perfectly rational given the premises.

The underlying problem isn't this or that politician (even an egregious one like Trump), it's the popularity of that flavor of religion (being pandered to by Trump).

6. Marc Short and Steve Miller are the most

dangerous people working in our Government . Fascist both.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

7. Here we go again - another opportunity for a Trump kissass to justify.

[PatSeg]

8. And Trump wouldn't have had

the flags lowered to half mast if he didn't feel that he had to. He has never done the right thing for the right reasons.
