Pence repeated his comments during a Tuesday news conference on Capitol Hill.
“For all the world, I have no idea why this man keeps coming up”, he said, calling Duke a “bad man”, and saying that the issue has served as a mere distraction. “We have said that we do not want his support and we don’t want the support of people who think like him”.
Blitzer then asked Pence if he “would call him a deplorable”.
Clinton has said she regrets using the term, “half”, to describe the proportion of Trump supporters she considers “deplorables”. The 34-year-old businesswoman was the last speaker before Donald Trump, and her speech was widely viewed as one of the best of the four-day convention. “So what was it – 40%?”
In an interview with Channel 2 News aired last Thursday, Clinton hit out at Trump, saying his comments about Israel were “ill-informed”.
“People are vying for the highest office in the land”, the in governor said.
Clinton is off the campaign trail today after pneumonia and dehydration led to her abruptly leaving the 9/11 remembrance in NY yesterday.
“Hillary’s really boring, and she lies for a living”, Dickson said.
Last week he admitted that he believed President Obama was born in the US – a stark contrast to the years of refusals by the GOP nominee to do so, while last month the in governor “strongly” endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) in his reelection bid, just a day after Trump refused to do so.
Asked if top Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani had gone too far in questioning Clinton’s health prior to Sunday’s incident, Pence demurred.
He moved quickly to Clinton’s “hate-filled and negative campaign”, saying his campaign of hope stands in stark contrast, and made it to the “very disgusting statements” shortly after.
During the exchange in a closed-door meeting Tuesday morning, Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska asked the in governor what to say to his own daughter when she expresses concerns about Trump’s views on women. “We’ll leave it at that”.
Corker said everyone was impressed with how Pence conducted himself.
President Barack Obama says the Republican presidential ticket led by Donald Trump is fanning hate.
“When I saw this in its full form and I saw the anger with which she said it”, Trump told the Fox News Channel early Monday, “I think it’s the single biggest mistake of the political season”. Keever was most impressed with Trump wanting to renegotiate trade deals such as NAFTA, to reverse jobs going to other countries.
Trump has also been accused of stoking violence at his rallies, telling supporters during a February rally that he’d “like to punch him (a protester) in the face”. Not to mention that that kind of benefit doesn’t help the families who can’t afford to put that much in per year. He noted that Clinton’s Republican opponent, Donald Trump, has not revealed his medical or tax records.
A senior official said it would be part of Trump’s plan to overhaul the tax code and would end up not adding to deficit spending in the US budget. “It’s not what the American people are talking about”.
