Hey @mike_pence, I'm not a Mexican "thing". I'm a citizen who pays taxes & votes. On Nov 8, I'll do #ThatMexicanThingAgain & vote Democrat.

"I'll bet the Mexican thing is a lot bigger than Trump's."

I admit that I choked on my chips and salsa when she said that.....lol.

He seems to be proud of it, though. Otherwise, why would he have a portrait like this on his wall?

insulting and ignores the pain and anguish to the people -- Mexican and other minorities -- that Trump gleefully brought about.

Pence certainly seems heartless and willing to say anything, willing to hurt anyone, in order to win.

He represents the Republican party well!

He should have said:

Mexicans are people and not things.
Syrian refugees are people and not things.
Alicia Machado is a person and not a thing.
The Khan family are people and not things.
Shame on you Gov. Pence and the candidate and party you stand for.
