VP Mike Pence on Putin Summit: Trump's Putting 'Prosperity and Security of America First'

Source: Mediate



by Ken Meyer | 3:19 pm, July 16th, 2018




The way Mike Pence sees it, the summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin today literally couldn’t have gone any better than it did.

The president set off a firestorm on Monday at his summit with the Russian leader, by casting doubt on U.S. intelligence findings about Russia’s election-meddling, drawing a moral equivalence between the countries, and saying America is at fault for why diplomatic ties with Russia are so bad. The Vice President reacted to all of this today by saluting Trump for his “deeply productive” dialogue and his use of “diplomacy and engagement”

“Disagreements between our countries were discussed at length,” Pence said, “but what the world saw, what the American people saw, is that Pres. Donald Trump will always put the prosperity and security of America first.”

As you might’ve expected, not everyone shares Pence’s rosy-tinted view of how things went today. Trump’s performance is being torn apart by media critics, intelligence figures, and politicians on both sides. Therefore, some people are responding to Pence by collectively shaking their heads.

There's little question he was in it from the start, since he ran the campaign.
America needs his worthless ass out of the picture simultaneously or the rats remain.

Cleanup of Pence family's failed gas stations cost Indiana taxpayers $20M

Plus, his brother Greg Pence who is now running for Congress. after he left Kiel Oil in bankruptcy, ended up working for Russian controlled Cummins.

"VP Pence’s brother Ed appears deeply dependent upon Russia for some time – from 2005 as VP and General Manager of the Heavy Duty Engine Business of Cummins and starting in Feb 1, 2013 as VP and General Manager of the High Horsepower Engine Business of Cummins. Pence became Governor of Indiana in Jan. 2013. Cummins VP Pence appears the probable reason that US VP Pence ignored Congressman Cummings warnings about Flynn and Russia. It provides motive."

The Washington Press Corp has truly failed in their duty to investigate and report on this anti-American activities of the Pence clan.

It's a particularly stupid statement from even someone as stupid as Pence. Yes, I know he's a Koch-bot and a self-lobotomized Evilangelical, but still. He was at least politically aware enough not to screw up his pandering to become elected as Governor of Indiana twice.

I would almost think that it's a message to Putin that he might be willing to carry on if something happened to his "boss".

keeping his mouth shut. No one was paying any attention to Pence until he put his two cents in. Anyone with any sense will move as far away from Trump as possible and lie low.

Now is not the time for him to defend the president when the tide is turning. He is the next in line if we get rid of Trump.
He should be laying low instead. Luckily for us, he is dumb as box of rocks and will go down with Trump.

To utter such a statement on a day like this is beyond belief, even for loyal puppy dog Mike.
