Pence: Trump "clearly and unambiguously" condemned white supremacists, neo-Nazis & the KKK

[Miles Archer]

On Sunday night, Vice President Mike Pence condemned the violence in Virginia, praised Trump’s response to the situation, then slammed the media for its reaction to the president’s statement blaming “many sides” instead of white supremacists.

“We have no tolerance for hate and violence, white supremacists or neo-Nazis or the KKK,” Pence said, according to The Hill. He said Trump “clearly and unambiguously” condemned the violence.

Pence, who is currently in Colombia, also took aim at the press for raising questions about Trump’s response after the president not only refused to condemn the neo-Nazis and KKK on Saturday but walked out when reporters asked about white nationalists.

“I take issue with the fact that many in the national media spent more time criticizing the president’s words than they did criticizing those that perpetuated the violence to begin with,” Pence was quoted as saying.

2. Alternative facts

3. Yeah, Mike

The absolute nerve of those counter protesters hurling themselves in front of that car like they did. No respect for private property obviously.
Those who stick with Trump, regardless of motive, will be as demeaned and diminished as he is, as well as becoming ludicrous.

4. The mere fact that Pence has to clarify

proves even he knows Trump was unclear and ambiguous.
Pence is so fucking slimy and disingenuous.

5. so you had to say this shit from venezuela, eh mike? the asshole can't say this himself?

6. enablers

These people are enablers in the same way the loved of ones of abusive alcoholics can enable someone by making excuses for their abusive behavior. Trump would not condemn the Nazis and White Supremacists, that is outrageous, so they pretend he did condemn them. Disgusting and pathetic.

7. Really? Can we see the video or hear the audio of that condemnation?

8. Pence is a liar.

[Johonny]

9. If he condemned them, why are these same hate groups praising him for his light response?

can't have it both ways Mike. Love them or hate them. Choose sides.
