Pence claims 'over half' of women's march were Trump supporters

Vice President Mike Pence is getting in on the "alternative facts" fun.

Pence or his team made the claim that "well over half" of the huge crowds out protesting Trump's inauguration during Saturday's Women's March in Washington were actually fans of the new president in a Facebook post, the latest example of top Trump administration representatives choosing to misstate basic facts.

"Our Administration is proud to stand with American women and of our supporters' significant role in this cause. Despite the misleading Liberal Media's claims, we clearly saw that well over half of the participants in yesterday's march were Trump supporters," reads a post on Pence's official Facebook page posted on Sunday.

"We do respect the rights of the minority of participants to dissent peacefully — this is what democracy looks like," Pence's post continues.

The Daily News had four reporters at Saturday's Women's March in Washington, and none saw any evidence that there was significant Trump support in a crowd that experts have estimated at close to a half-million people strong.

1. fake news and lying liars

how do key know ? full of hot air.

[ananda]

3. The question is ..

.. how will the base and white supremacists take it?

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. You would think they would go "wait, that means..."

[wordpix]

57. is Pence doing a trial run for when Trumple is impeached?

[deminks]

2. Gaslighting down to a science.

[ananda]

5. Yep.

This has been going on for over a year, and some of the press
is now just starting to call the Trumputin regime on some of the lies.

Too little too late. You reap what you sow.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. A pair of matching assholes.

The latest in White House decor.

[Motley13]

6. alternative fact, show me a photo of just one blotus supporter

I do know there were some there.

[world wide wally]

14. Where?

[Bengus81]

16. Why would they march if they were a Trump supporter??

I thought Cheeto had all their issues covered.

[leftynyc]

21. I saw ONE woman

interviewed. Nice white lady who voted for the degenerate but also felt strongly about civil rights, womens rights, etc. She just seemed like a nice, very misguided woman.

[Bengus81]

40. Wow...she feels strongly about civil rights and womens rights and voted for Trump?

The WHY did she vote for the idiot,she really think HE supports those issues?? Hell,he doesn't even want FHA loan applicants to get a break on the mortgage insurance rate to the tune of about $500 per year yet she thinks he cares about minorities and women??

[leftynyc]

41. Like I said

Thoroughly misguided.

[wordpix]

58. also why are they at Women's March and not at Inauguration?

huh?

[Mc Mike]

7. The repugs are really half-assing their lies, these days.

Their followers' IQs have obviously suffered a precipitous drop, for Pence and co to try to offer this lamely lying kind of comforting explanation of unfriendly reality to their flunkies.

[trc]

8. Seems legit...if you just make shit up.

Ahhh, this will be a struggle at every single turn. The lies are strong with this administration, but all the women in my life are stronger

[oberliner]

9. No just "over half"

But "well over half"

[underpants]

12. They are trying to perpetuate the idea that they won the popular vote

Snowflake himself stuck with it in a meeting with Dem Congressional leaders yesterday.

Since they want everyone to believe that a majority voted for him (20% really) any crowd would just have to have a majority of Trump supporters. This goes back to the "deplorables" - 1/2 of them means 1/2 of the country.

[orleans]

70. check out snopes

[kairos12]

10. My Alternative Fact

It is reported that only half of Drumpt's regime are Reich Wing Terrorists, but in reality they are all.

[SharonClark]

11. And exactly 0 people believe him

[world wide wally]

13. We should recruit some Teabaggers over and start complaining about Trump picking

too many liberals for his cabinet.
They don't know WTF it means anyway.

[erpowers]

15. That Is Just Stupid

Why would Trump supporters show up at a march protesting Trump? Who marches in protest march against someone they support? So, are they trying to claim this was a pro-Trump march? So, Trump supporters went to a march to hear liberal women give speeches. Whaaaat?

Is this one of those moments where you say, pass the pipe Mike? Yo, share that sh@#t Sean!
These mofos are like Chris Stapleton, "as high as a Georgia Pine". No wonder they have alternative facts. The stuff they are smoking has sent them to an alternative universe.

[RobinA]

60. Did You Think

it was a march opposing Trump? See there's your problem right there, you believe the liberal media TM. It was a PRO Trump march. The biggest march ever. Alll those people out marching for Trump. Yuge!

[erpowers]

67. Watch FOX News More?

So, should I start watching FOX News more so that I can get the true story? Seriously, this liberal media just keeps lying to me. Everyday I am amazed at the crazy things they keep telling me. You would not believe the things I believe that are turning out to be false. Why does the liberal media continue to lie to me?

[turbinetree]

17. How do you spell delusional.................... think and be Mike Pence

How do speak in double talk........................think and be Mike Pence

How do you support a serial sexual assaulter orange hair "guy" ---------------think and be Mike Pence

How do you support a republican fascists-----------------think and be Mike Pence

How do support being a bigot, racists, misogynist....................think and be Mike Pence

How do you do math 2+2 =5 .........................think and be Mike Pence

To Mike Pence .................FU and the horse you road in on

[JudyM]

22. He's practicing for his own installment on the gold throne.

[turbinetree]

24. Yepper.........he is such a jerk, he really is

Now with these two federal lawsuits coming down the pike for the serial sexual predator to deal with, and a Congress, that has to look into the matter here in the near future,and a U.S. Supreme Court to see if they will comply with the just recently applied oaths (Constitution) they took and gave.

I have come to expect nothing from John Roberts, he has and is enforcing the Louis Powell memo to the hilt, and he voted against retaining the Civil Rights Voting Act, he is in my opinion just like the orange hair "guy" a racists, with a black robe.

I was just wondering if they would bring Impeachment with this fascists crowd in Congress and the Senate.

[wordpix]

73. Pence is not my president, either

[turbinetree]

74. And "everyone of the fascists thems" that enact and support voter suppression

[Botany]

18. Sadly people who watch Fox News will think that Pence is telling the truth.

Fake news.

[Madam45for2923]

19. Creepy man is stupid too! oh and a liar!

[ehrnst]

20. Pence's FB page has been taken down. (tn)

[miyazaki]

23. One for Trump, One for Pence

Both for your entire administration.

[Glimmer of Hope]

25. Is he mentally ill too?

I know he is an asshole but that is just wacky.

[kwassa]

28. Yes, he has a narcissistic personality disorder, to be specific.

[Glimmer of Hope]

34. We are so screwed.

[Raster]

52. well, could be. Moreover, PENCE IS A LIAR...

...and he's gonna say anything to keep his cushy number two position, 'cause Pence believes --just like most of us-- that sooner or later tRump is going to get kicked to the curb and he'll finally get to sit in the big chair.

[kwassa]

26. I was there at the DC March, never saw a single Trump supporter

Among the hundreds of thousands of people that I saw, in the 6 hours or so that I was there, over the mall.

[jpak]

27. A Fact-Free Campaign and now a Fact-Free Presidency

Who knew?

[meadowlark5]

29. Well, making shit up and feeding it to the American people worked so well during the campaign

Why stop now? We've seen time and again republicans flat out lying and making shit up, the media rarely challenges them if it's an interview. It worked to get him elected, it's worked for years with the Sunday program appearances by republicans. They know it work, they know they hardly ever are called on it - so why change. Why fix what ain't broken.

Something has got to change, especially in media. They need to step up. Why can't they see saving the country as a ratings grabber instead of the destruction?

[gademocrat7]

30. The liars cabal

pence is part of this evil group. What a hypocrite.

[stopbush]

31. The lying is pathological with these assholes. They can't help themselves

even when the lying will clearly hurt them.

All Pence had to say is that he understands that change can be hard, and that people know change is coming with Trump and so they took to the streets to express their concerns. That's it. No lies needed...well, except that even the above would be a lie coming from Pence.

[IADEMO2004]

32. and 0% of Trump supporting women made a sign? nt

[bigworld]

33. Those weren't red hats, Mr Pence!!

[kwassa]

35. Colorblind?

[onenote]

36. Great! That means we've already won back that many Trump supporters.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

37. The other part of this story - end of net neutrality is on the agenda, per

some reporting as of today

Disinformation (aka alternative facts) PLUS shut down of communications that contradict the propaganda.... thats where they're going with this.

Connect the dots people! Should be easy, there arent that many dots.

[muriel_volestrangler]

43. and approval of the Keystone XL pipeline today

see http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141675888

[Javaman]

38. I've come to the conclusion that that the entire administration is on crack. nt

[milestogo]

39. Sure, you could tell by the signs.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

42. Well, to be fair....

.....a lot of them were carrying signs with Trump's name on it.

Ergo, they're his supporters! Duh!

[Gothmog]

44. Pence is a very stupid person

[kimbutgar]

45. At my march in SF at the rally every time his name was mentioned people booed

I never heard anyone cheering for chump.

[karynnj]

46. Someone needs to tell Pence he won't win the most delusional award in the Trump administration,

but this is a good try.

Could he explain the significance of so many wearing the pussy hats? Could he explain the cheers for the various speakers and even the former Secretary of State as he briefly cheered on the marchers?

[mac56]

47. A friend posted on FB

"Too bad all those Trump supporters had to show up on Saturday, with signs declaring how awful he is."

[karynnj]

48. LOL - great response!

The really stupid thing is that it is always the party out of power with the anger when their goals are threatened who take to the streets. The idea that Pence needs to claim that the large number of people out on the streets were partly his is hilarious. Could you imagine if Obama or Biden claimed that half the pea party demonstrators were really Obama voters?

[cactusfractal]

49. I must've misheard the chant...

I guess it was

Racist!
Sexist!
Antigay!
YES in my USA

Call out the lies every time. You can get new friends, and family soaking in "alternative facts" deserves to be disowned.

No. Going. Along. To. Get. Along!

[Doreen]

50. Uhmm Pence? When that many people who are

supposed to be on your side goes to a march like that it usually means they are no longer on your side. If you want to believe that many Trump supporters were there I would not advise being happy about it but very worried. Very worried that they finally saw the truth.

[zonemaster]

53. This story has been pulled down from msn's website.

Is there a corroborating, credible source?

[asiliveandbreathe]

54. ALT facts..here is what matters...their supporters don't know what they

don't know..all they know is they did not like a Black Man in the White House..racism at it's core..and now..the so called Christian right are happy with the suffering of so many women who will not have reproductive healthcare...The American Indian community - well, we all know the history there..White Man speaks with forked tongue..the Environment - well, that will take a back seat to greed - no need to worry about the climate..there is no climate change - just normal weather changing patterns..

Poor people just get poorer..the unfortunate among us who are not healthy, too bad..those block grants suggested for Medicaid, states will give a little, and take a lot..there is no oversight...I could go on and on...

trumphumpers don't know what they don't know..and will NOT research ever!

[Doitnow]

55. More Lie, Cheat and Steal

65. Thanks!

[Retrograde]

61. Fantasy Facts to go along with Alternative Facts

AKA wishful thinking and lying.

I thought Pence was supposed to be this super-devout MegaChristian: I don't think Jesus approves of lying.

[Angry Dragon]

62. Trump: Can you lie?? .......... yes .............. You are hired

[mahatmakanejeeves]

63. Well, the possession of reefer is legal in DC now. Whoa, the Penster, know your limits, dude. NT

[NastyRiffraff]

64. I always thought Pence was on crack

He has that look. And that voice.

[Rex]

66. Prove it.

[orleans]

68. "over half" -- come on! there were *at least* 1.5 MILLION TRUMP SUPPORTERS AT WOMEN'S MARCH!

maybe even 1.5 BILLION!

[orleans]

69. btw -- the link is out & SNOPES says it's "FALSE"

http://www.snopes.com/mike-pence-conservatives-womens-march/

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

71. Yep, I saw that.... but not before spreading the false information myself. Whew - lesson learned.

[politicat]

72. So Mikey is psychic now? Isn't that prophesying and necromancy?

Because I don't believe for one second that he has ever voluntarily talked to an actual woman who was not being paid to be in his presence.

Bad Christian, Mickey. The heresy squad is coming for your Leviticus and Deuteronomy busting butt.
