Vice President Mike Pence compared President Donald Trump to former President Teddy Roosevelt, who believed white people were “the forward race.” Speaking on Tuesday, just days after violence at a white supremacist rally left one person dead, Pence made the unfortunate comparison between the U.S.’ 26th president and Trump. “In President Donald Trump, the United States once again has a president whose vision, energy and can-do spirit is reminiscent of President Teddy Roosevelt,” Pence said in comments reported by Guardian correspondent Ben Jacobs.

Hogan’s Heroes were on TV fifty years ago. Not so long ago for The Dukes of Hazard. More like thirty for them!

Well, that does it. We’ll have to dynamite Teddy off Mt. Rushmore. Jefferson too - he owned slaves and had a black slave mistress. The left says going after Washington is ridiculous - so store that dynamite for when they change their minds in a couple of years.

Sekalow needs to file a lawsuit against Newsweek for slander. $250 M and Pence should state any proceeds will go to Some pro unity and race relations groups who are conservative like Alveta King.

[The left are completely out of control now- and are committing crimes with impunity as they ram their ideological agenda down America’s throat]

That about sums it up.

This is GREAT!!!!

Cause this ain’t 1930’s Germany.

Jews were sadly a very small minority.

We are NOT a minority AND we will slaughter the dems and hopefully slaughter the GOPe in primaries.

Where is all this headed except DISASTER for the dems.

2/3 of the country thinks this is INSANE!!!

Only the media is loving it. and BLM and Antifa.

Because as usual, they are such short sighted, impatient ####s who NEVER know when to stop.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. And if it supports violence via Antifa and BLM, it should be stripped of its liberties.

Do not patronize the parent companies: Disney, Comcast, Viacom, and now AT&T only to have them piss in your shoes.

This is what Pence really said, the article actually quotes him:

“In President Donald Trump, the United States once again has a president whose vision, energy and can-do spirit is reminiscent of President Teddy Roosevelt,” Pence said”

But then they go and pick on something Roosevelt may have also said at some point, which is irrelevant.

Pence did NOT make a comparison of Donald Trump to Teddy Roosevelt’s statement that “white people were the forward race”. That is Newsweak putting those words of Teddy Roosevelt into Trump’s mouth. Fake journalism.

How many racist comments are on the record coming from the mouth of LBJ, or even FDR, yet would Newsweak ever make a comparison made of some Democrat today to LBJ or FDR as if that Democrat was in agreement with those racist words of LBJ or FDR? No.

Why? Why not, when doing so would apply the same kind of standard? The media’s CONSTANT double standards.

Is Harriet Sinclair, writing for Newsweek, attempting to provoke even more BLM-perpetrated violence with her lies and hate-filled writings, or has Harriet Sinclair gone beyond that to the point where she is actively trying to goad BLM supporters into committing even more murders than they already have?

Lincoln stated that Negroes had the rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" in the first of the Lincoln–Douglas debates.

Publicly, Lincoln said he was not advocating Negro suffrage in his speech in Columbus, Ohio on September 16, 1859.
