Very Christian of Pence.

Pence can defend trumpy till the cows come home, it doesn’t change anything he has said or done up to this point! And what a show of complete lack of personal accountability to have people go out on your behalf to try and humanize you after each of your immature and ignorant comments!
even a blind person can see trump for what he really is,yet these creeps still try their darndest to downplay his gaffes.

Pence can lie all he wants. His personal lord and savior Donald J. Trump will keep him from all harm.

Except this is literally the opposite of what Trump said. He explicitly said he wants caps on immigrants from certain countries with the implied reasoning being they are just lesser people.

I think what Trump said wasn't wrong, but I do fault him for saying it in public like that, if he indeed said that. But he wasn't telling a lie, has nothing to do with the people, but the left in their bloodlust to attack anyone or anything that they feel is racist is totally asinine.
The people of course not, the country, yes.

Good on you for coming to terms with racism.
That's not the problem.
Oh he definitely said it.
It most certainly does. When you ask, "why do we have to accept more people from shi**ole countries?" it certainly is about the people.
But kudos to Pence. He and his president are really reppin' the J man. Super christlike.

I NEVER said or thought what he said was racist, I just thought saying it in public and how the left would perceive it would be considered racist, but then again, everything is racist in their minds. So tell me, when was the last time within the last 5 years you had an interest in visiting Somalia or Haiti? Ever wanted to take a beautiful vacation in Yemen?
He didn't say anything the average person would say about those countries including the people from those countries.
Oh, please! Why, because Derbin said that? He is notoriously famous for lying. You don't know that and I don't know that and you can't prove it.
Exactly! He didn't say SH people, he was talking about the countries in which they live in.
Absolutely not. You guys and your delusional race this and race that. Liberals cannot go a day without trying to play the race card and they are some of the biggest racists on the planet.

So if they didn't hear or recall then you cannot say unequivocally that he uttered those words based on his Democratic rival. Come on now! LOL

Ah, the nervous "LOL". Can't blame you -- there is no defense for the man's racism, yet here you are again trying your best. Anyone who defends his comments is just as bad, and yes, they DO recall him saying something or else they could not say, when they miraculously regained their memories a few days later, that he said "house" instead of "hole", and that it was therefore not profane or vulgar. Now they are shifting the goalposts again and saying, "We didn't find it vulgar", and "We know what he meant and what's in his heart".
So, again, not surprising to see the nervous LOL out tonight.

bass4funk: "Probably have, especially when the worst ones, the illegal ones come here and don't respect our laws, our culture, our way of life."
I bet most immigrants, legal or illegal, respect those things FAR more than you. Definitely do more than Trump, who spits on the Constitution regularly (and hasn't even read it or knows what's on it).

Do we really need to go through this again? He refused to rent to people based purely on the colour of their skin. This is undeniably racism. You have said that this racism was justified due the fact that many people of the same race were criminals. We understand you think the racism was justified. But that does not change the fact that it is racist.

No, I will not answer irrelevant questions.
Yeah, those illegal Haitians are always jumping the border. lol I'm glad you are being open about your racism now, kudos ;)
Right. Dumpy Donny on his best day ain't half the man Durbin is. Not even close.
Not true.

Why is it that right wingers love to spread fake news? lol
Again, I'll ask:
I see. So, Donny didn't want to accept people from sh*thole countries, because??? Just answer the simple question, Bass ;)

Yeah because it was ok for the Democrats Dear leader Obama to call Libya a hole but nobody cried about that one. Or any of the other nitwitt democrats who have done the samething or similar. Heck even graham said hell hole and no one cried about that. Not a bible thumper but let he who has not sinned cast the first stone....Like talking with a 5 year old in democrats....
Joe Duncan
Hey bass4funk, Democrats are so tiring, first they are against illegals crossing the border on video, then say they are not. They say Donald Trump is great on camera, then he becomes a republican and President, he's satan and a racist. They say they are for a border wall on camera, now against. They say they are against NOK, now stop picking on Rocketman. These dems flip-flop more then a fish out of water, lol....
takeda.shingen.1991@gmail.com
I had to ask you to at least twice. Clearly you did not.
Again, why does Trump think we should not be accepting people from "sh*thole" countries? We've established Haiti and Ghana etc., are not great places. Objectively, they are not well-functioning governments and economies. But what does that have to do with accepting immigrants from those countries?

Everyone keeps trying to use the apartments that Trumps father SR bought back in the 70's as the reason he Trump JR is racists. It's just false period. Back in 1973 when the law suit went out, It was federal lawsuit sent to many landlords across the country (read FBI file). The one sent to the Trumps, was sent to Trump Management, Trump SR and Trump JR, which is normal in a lawsuit to go to owners. Many of the accusations we redacted, one was found to be accurate. When the urban league ran a test to see which landlords were not renting to minorities. A for rent sign was on one of the apartment buildings of Trumps. When a black man went in to ask for the apartment he was turned down and said not availble even though sign was still. The superintendant said he forgot to take sign down. The next day the urban league sent a white woman in for the same apartment and was given a tour. Shortly after the black man and others came back in and confronted the superintendant who then blamed his boss, which was not named. The case was dropped after 2 years and no charges filed. I suggest you all go read the FBI file yourselves, i dont know how this makes President Trump a racist because of someone at his business.
