Duke, one of 24 candidates vying for the U.S. Senate on November 8, came to the center of the presidential campaign again when during a Monday night interview with CNN reporter Wolf Blitzer, Pence refused to call Duke “deplorable”.
“For all the world, I have no idea why this man keeps coming up”, the IN governor said. She said, “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables.’ Right?”
Gov. Pence disavowed Duke, and proclaimed strongly that the ticket doesn’t want his support. One of them even went on to claim that Clinton’s comments insinuate that she looks at voters as dumb people who can’t make their own decisions and ended by claiming that she looks down upon them.
Her running mate, Tim Kaine, also hit Pence over the remark, telling supporters at a campaign event in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Tuesday, “If you cannot call out bigotry, if you cannot call out racism, xenophobia, anti – if you can’t call it out and you stand back and you’re silent about it, you’re enabling it to grow, you’re enabling it to become more powerful”.
Pence tried to keep the focus on Clinton’s original comments from an LGBT fundraiser Friday night, where she said half of Trump’s supporters were “deplorables”.
Donald Trump is the corrupt stooge the dark money wants in the White House, and that isn’t be good for the people of this country. She will return to the campaign trail today, with a rally in North Carolina and a speech before a Hispanic group in Washington.
It’s ironic coming from a candidate defined by divisive statements, who once mocked Clinton’s large policy shop, deriding her proposals as “a waste of paper” and insisting the public didn’t care about the sort of specifics she offered. “So what was it – 40%?”
Corker said everyone was impressed with how Pence conducted himself. “People have a right to know”.
Facing criticism about a lack of transparency when it comes to her health, Ms Clinton’s campaign promised to disclose more detailed information about her health this week.
“So she had that in mind – there’s no question about it”, he said.
Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence answers reporters’ questions during a news conference with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) Tuesday.
The AFL-CIO is dropping more than 50,000 mailers to union families in Florida this week touting their support for Hillary Clinton. We’re praying for a swift recovery.
“We call her crooked Hillary or lying Hillary”, she said. “We’ll leave it at that”.
Pence served as a kind of spokesman for Trump’s character. I had a flawless Republican voting record.
Few people embrace the “racist” label, so let’s help them.
Pence added that Trump was not violating any laws by withholding the data, though he acknowledged “there’s a bit of a tradition here”.
“I’m real exhausted of the media just picking on every little thing just to try to get a story, but there’s no story to be gotten”, she said, punctuating her phrases with the United States flag in her hand.
Angela Rachidi at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, said that Trump’s adjustments to his proposal show he is trying to make it less regressive and that he seems to share Clinton’s goals of helping families pay for child care. “And I am very, very proud of their charitable record”.
The American National Election Studies, the long-running, extensive poll of American voters, asked voters in 2012 a basic test of prejudice: to rank black and white people on a scale from hardworking to lazy and from intelligent to unintelligent.
