Pence says Trump "might make an effort" to stop "send her back" chants in the future

Source: CBS News


By CAMILO MONTOYA-GALVEZ CBS NEWS July 21, 2019, 11:10 AM


Vice President Mike Pence said President Trump "might make an effort" to speak out against offensive chants by his supporters at campaign rallies in the future.

"He might make an effort to speak out about it," Pence told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett during an interview for "The Takeout" podcast, parts of which aired Sunday on "Face the Nation."

The vice president was pressed on Mr. Trump's recent attacks against four Democratic congresswomen of color, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

Mr. Trump recently suggested the progressive foursome should "go back" to the "totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." Since eliciting widespread condemnation from Democrats and a handful of Republicans — including a House resolution denouncing the remarks — Mr. Trump has doubled down on his attacks, repeatedly accusing Pressley, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and Omar of hating the U.S. and saying they can "leave" the country.

He and Pence only want to heighten your interest in Trumpy's drivel. He'll go back and forth for as long as it sells. Then he'll move onto other distractions. He's an artist. A con artist.

I can't see trump taking Pence into his confidence and telling him what he's up to.

I can't see trump taking Pence seriously when he tries to tell him that the "Send Her Back" chants are racist and damaging.

I can't see Pence having ANY KIND of influence over trump on anything.

I can't see trump ever treating Pence like a normal president would treat a normal vice-president. They don't have that kind of a relationship. There is no Obama-Biden thing going on here. Even GHWB treated Quayle with greater respect.

Pence lost all credibility when he put his eggs in trumpie's basket.

What we think is clear. That's not why he's on air.

It's about what the viewership and general electorate think when backpedaling as a campaign strategy is meant to mollify old and potential voters. Upcoming polls will be done on this issue and then strategy will stop or go forward.

That's what this is about.

That He might make an effort to stop paying his people to start these racist chants. Trump was behind them getting the chants going. He used the same tactic with the Hillary chants towards her also, and so did Putin when he promoted his candidates elsewhere, and used lock her up before he had trump use it on Hillary.

A real president would tell them to stop because it's ugly and it's un-American, but I'll bet he tells them they have to stop because it upsets the PC snowflakes, then puts on that smug, shit-eating grin just in case anyone doesn't know what he really means.

He will let the chant go on for a moment before he waves his hands for it to stop, then he will say, "the left doesn't want us to say that anymore! What do you say to that?" then a new change will start, something like "kill the left" or the like.

he's gas-lighting again and the insanity will just be ratcheted up.
