Mike Pence: Politics is No Place for 'Name Calling'

Mike Pence chastised President Obama on Friday for indirectly referring to Donald Trump as a demagogue, saying — perhaps ironically — that "name calling" has no "place in public life."

Pence, responding directly to the president's comments about Trump at the Democratic convention on Wednesday, told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt: "I don't think name calling has any place in public life, and I thought that was unfortunate that the president of the United States would use a term like that."

Pence's remarks backed up against his own running mate's use of derogative nicknames over the last year on the campaign, including: "Little Michael Bloomberg", "Crooked Hillary" [Clinton], "Corrupt [Tim] Kaine", "Liddle Marco [Rubio]", "Lyin' Ted" [Cruz], "Crazy Bernie" [Sanders], "Goofy" [Elizabeth Warren] and "Low Energy Jeb" [Bush].

The president took a swipe at the Republican nominee in his primetime convention address on Wednesday but didn't attach the "demagogue" characterization directly to Trump.

14. of course

Really enjoyed the speech of Chelsea Clinton at the DNC, very well done. Pence, GOP nominee, he must have a selective memory. I very much remember the mean and hateful things Chelsea was called by the GOP. Yup she was a young child. Drug addict Rush Limbaugh called her the white house dog. They piled on with Amy Carter as well.
