Pence Team Slams NYT ‘Shadow Campaign’ Accusation
Breitbart ^ | August 5, 2017 | Michelle Moons

Posted on 08/05/2017 4:42:20 PM PDT by be-baw

Members of the Vice President’s staff are pushing back against rumors that Pence’s team is working on a 2020 shadow campaign as suggested in a Saturday New York Times story.

The Times claims that newly installed Vice President Mike Pence’s Chief of Staff Nick Ayers has “signaled” to donors a potential Pence 2020 run, a claim that Ayers immediately refuted via Twitter:

Nick Ayers ✔ @nick_ayers .@alexburnsNYT @jmartNYT print total lie in #fakenews article. Said I've "signaled to multiple donors @VP wants to be ready for 2020" (cont) 1:55 PM - Aug 5, 2017

Nick Ayers ✔ @nick_ayers ...Yet they are unable to name one donor that has ever heard me say that...because I haven't. #shameful #fakenews https://twitter.com/nick_ayers/status/893893139563520001 … 1:56 PM - Aug 5, 2017

Something about Pence (body language) bothers me, but all outward indications are he is loyal to the President. It's inconceivable that he would mount a primary challenge, but I'm sure he'll be prepared to run in 2020 if, for whatever reason, Trump doesn't.

MSM are reporting stuff meant to cause dissension and division in the administration.

They are trying, and this is one example.

Pence doesn’t excite me. Trump would slaughter him in a race. If Pence had run last time, he would have been one of the early ones to drop out. I like him but he’s just not someone I would want for president.

But Drudge headlined it and ignored the Democrat scandals. He can go to hell.

I think you will see Don Junior run before you see Pence.

The Trump economy if starting to fire and its just getting started. If Congress would get off their butts and pass some of Trumps ideas you would never see another Democrat majority in your lifetime.

Pence seems too sincere to be subversive. He is a deeply religious man who seems to be an honorable person. I have heard him often on Rush’s show and he is very supportive of Pres. Trump.

I've often thought the same, but if for any reason Pence turns up in the Presidency before his time I will be deeply suspicious of him. There's been a lot of plotting surrounding Pence ascending to the Presidency going back to before Trump even won the election, perhaps he's had no part in it and is completely unaware, but I don't see how that can be the case.

I don't see why Freepers post this disinformation.

And this piece of excrement was posted time and again. What's the thrill?

This posting was a refutation of the #FakeNewsNYTimes piece.
What’s wrong with that?

“I think you will see Don Junior run before you see Pence.”

Don Jr. would be formidable candidate. He should run for governor of NY state

If pubs would just repeal Obamacare, like they promised for 7 years to do right away, this economy would go bonkers.

Yeah, I not a huge fan of Pence. He’s a slick climber, no doubt.

But this is no more than gaslighting psywar nonsense. You’d think they’d learn after over a year of this that it doesn’t work with Trump.
