Vice President Pence on Monday said that the migrant caravans streaming towards the U.S. are nothing less than an assault and that they will not be allowed to overwhelm the Southern Border.

"You know it's never been more clear to Americans about the need for more border security, has it? We all watch the news. We all see this — another migrant caravan headed north," Pence said at a rally in Michigan Monday night.

"As President Trump made clear, this is nothing short of an assault on our country and we will not allow it."

Pence lauded the Pentagon's deployment of 5,200 troops to help support border patrol at the president's direction.

1. Isn't the caravan like, 2 months away from the border?

Not sure what deploying 5,000 troops to the border RIGHT NOW is going to do about a caravan that's two months away...

[groundloop]

8. That one is easy... deploying troops NOW will gin up support of their base before the election

It's a given that goper bastards don't actually believe a rag-tag group of homeless people are any kind of threat to our safety. This caravan has just become a convenient target by being dark skinned, poor, and largely non-English speaking.

[Achilleaze]

2. Wrong, Bozo Breath (R)

It's a struggling pilgrimage of hungry homeless human beings who are being terrorized by right-wing thugs at home, and who are seeking a crumb of Christian mercy.

It is just vile for Pence to claim he is some sort of Christian, and then to piss on the fundamental values and people in desperate need of help. He should try reading The Bible some time. It has some explicit guidance about how to relate to people in need.

3. This bullshit reeks of desperation and fear

The gop Modus Operandi. Conjure fear and hatred to hide their treasonous lust for power and money.

[Iliyah]

4. I will never call him a Christian.

5. Dense Pence

Fucking dumbass tRump lap dog. I have seen smarter rocks.

6. The election will be the bolt of lightning on his ass. Nt

7. Go hide behind mommy's skirt if you are so scared n/t

[Guilded Lilly]

9. You, Pence, and your drippingly reeking, vile agenda are...

the most wretched assault on our country.
Go gag on your words.

[turbinetree]

11. They are not coming with weapons to attack us

The right loves that analogy, but it does not hold water.

[Botany]

12. How about an assault on the people and environment of Indiana by the Pence family?

@ one time the Pence family owned a bunch of gas stations in Indiana but now
they no longer own them and they are sticking the State of Indiana w/the costs
of cleaning up all the underground gasoline storage tanks which are now leaking.

13. Albino squirrel needs to calm down. No migrants have wrested control of US lands away.

He and Dumbass are talking like they are armed and looking to rape, pillage and burn. That's the trademark move of MY ancestors, Vikings, otherwise known as good white people...

[unblock]

14. republicans are the most gutless, cowardly, weak, yellow-bellied, lily-livered scaredy cats ever.

oh noes! a few people over a thousand miles away, armed with nothing, might someday come to our border and... and... and...

... fill out some paperwork to ask to come live and work here!!





land of the brave, huh?

not if you're a republicans, clearly!

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Ooh, so terrified of dark-skinned women and children. All Republicans are gutless wonders.

[Oneironaut]

16. I agree. What Trump is doing is an assault on this country.

[Paladin]

17. Pence would re-discover his Christian charity, if white Canadians made up that caravan. (nt)

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. STFU!! You Agnew wannabe. nt

[The Liberal Lion]

19. How the fuck is it an assault?

No asshat Pence, you are an assault on our country. They are using words like this in order to give them a pretense to suspend habeas corpus. Folks, we have toppled into something very dangerous. It's decision time.

[Javaman]

20. No, you uptight piece of shit. The assault on our nation is the magabomber...

and the attack on the synagogue.

the people coming here are seeking freedom and peace.

what a fucking up upside down world these asshole right wing douchebags exist in.

[Initech]

21. No, Mr. Pence. The real assault on this country is coming from your fucking boss.

And his grotesque enablers. That is the real assault on our country.

[defacto7]

22. Idiot

[apnu]

23. How Christian of him.

[Solly Mack]

25. Trump and Pence, along with the rest of the GOP, are the real threat to America.

And they have proven this repeatedly.

[sakabatou]

26. You're an assault on our country!

[Rizen]

27. So it's cool when Russia hacks our government...

but this is an "assault on our country"? I wonder what Pence and those assholes would say if the caravan was full of white people.
