Pence breaks with WH silence...

[HipChick]

Vice President Mike Pence is responding to the violence during a march by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, saying “these dangerous fringe groups” have no place in American public life.

Pence was asked about the violent clashes this weekend in the Virginia college town as he spoke Sunday during a news conference in Cartagena, Colombia.

Both Republicans and Democrats have criticized President Donald Trump’s initial remarks about the violence in Charlottesville. Trump did not single out any group but blamed “many sides” for the violence.

On Sunday, Pence said, “We have no tolerance for hate and violence, white supremacists or neo-Nazis or the KKK.”

Following his remarks about such fringe groups, Pence added, “We condemn them in the strongest possible terms.”

10. There's So Much That's Happened That Needs To....

be hung around the Repugs necks. We need to make sure we run against the Repugs in 2018 & 2020 and not only against Trump. We need to hold the Repugs responsible for Trump.

14. Exactly my first thought.

These people really disgust me, but it does prove what a hypocrite he is.

[BootinUp]

5. So Trump sends out another person to

Lie for him.

[GP6971]

6. Yeah right.

As if we believe him.

[diva77]

17. Exactly. He was the tiebreaker in favor of throwing millions off of healthcare.

No credibility left to salvage.

[Ilsa]

22. Well-played, Pence.

After he took the temperature of republicans on Saturday night, he realized he could appeal to more of them by speaking out properly.

Yes, I think he's working to get rid of Trump.

[Solly Mack]

23. That's exactly what he did.

[HipChick]

24. Yup...Exactly...

[BluesRunTheGame]

25. 11 months ago Mike Pence refused to call David Duke "deplorable".

I believe it was on Wolf Blitzer's CNN show.

29. I like that idea.

Let's see if dt finds a way to get rid of pence, although I can't imagine how.

I was never able to understand how pence could stomach allying himself with dt either.
