During a town hall meeting in Nevada, Mike Pence was challenged on his support for Donald Trump despite Trumps comments over the weekend criticizing a gold star family. Pence handled the situation well, first calming the crowd and then offering his respect to the person asking the question and then to the Khan family.
You have a son in the military, how do you tolerate his disrespect? the woman asked, referring to Trumps comments over the weekend criticizing Khans family. Before she even finished her question the crowd began to boo. Pence waved for them to settle down. Its all right, Pence said adding, Folks, thats what freedom looks like and thats what freedom sounds like. This brought a round of applause.
Pence turned back toward the woman, who had taken her seat, and said, Let me just say first I want to honor your sons service to the country and your familys service to the country. I truly do. This brought another round of applause.
I know this has been much in the news of late, in the last few days, but as I said last night as Donald Trump said Saturday night, Captain Khan is an American hero and we honor him and honor his family as we do all gold star families in this country, Pence said.
Pence then went beyond the talking points by adding some detail. The story of Captain Khan is an incredibly inspiring story. June 8th, 2004 he would fall in Iraq
an explosive device in a taxi, Pence said. He continued,He was awarded medals, posthumously, because like any great leader he
the accounts of that were that Captain Khan moved people out of the way, told them stay back and he went toward the danger. Honestly, again, Captain Khan is an American hero, Pence

Not sure what you're talking about. What exactly is BS?
And George Bush Junior would never have spoken out against Islamic immigration. Heck, that stuttering idiot actually expanded Muslim immigration into our homeland - after 9-11.
That's why reducing Muslim immigration is Trump's strong suit - people are sick of the societal suicide we got from PC losers like GWB and (worse) Obama .
Unfortunately, Trump is throwing away his winning hand with this off-message sidetrack into personal exchanges with the family of a dead U.S. soldier.
I tend to agree with your comments on message discipline. I love that Trump is a good street fighter, and we haven’t had a good street fighter in a long, long time. Having said that, Trump can now delegate some of this fight to his worthy team, starting with Pence, Gingrich, Rudy and Christie. Trump should spend all his considerable energies on destroying Hillary herself.
“i cant really deal with the yellow bellied cowards around here anymore.
Making me friggin sick.
Disgusting.”
Yep. A lot of media-brainwashed people around here... They are starting to expose themselves rapidly. I hope they realize what happened to them, and get a firm grip; otherwise they won’t make it through the election.
Ahhh, curioser and curioser . . .
Now THAT is the way to refute weak sisters of freedom, the cowardice of those who stand weak-kneed in the face of BS MSM propaganda...AND, telling it the way it IS, SISTAH! (I didn't know Khan had removed his Muzzie Immigration website -- was he advised by the DNC? HIllary? The DoJ? What's he hiding?? THAT is what Trump's surrogates ought to ask.)
This Muzzie propagandist spits in the face of all REAL Americans as HE lectures *us* on sacrifice and FREEDOM?? The hell he will.
Good grief -- I can't believe the French Surrender Mode of some of these people!
“Again, I really hope the folks in the Trump campaign arent as loony and impressionable as people here.”
Typical leftist projection.
Where did you learn to troll? You aren’t doing it very well...
“How do you enrage (even further) an average muslim man?
Suggest in any way, shape or form that his wife is his equal.
Trump did this, and Kahn got angry. Its doubtful many undecided voters found this appealing. Angry muslim men tend to be offputtingespecially with terrorism at an all time high.”
Exactly. It is exposing the filthy underside of this story, without spelling it out. It allows people think, and lets them see and understand things on their own.
Trump is masterful at this.
That was me who was confused. I reread the exchange I jumped in on, and plead guilty as charged.
Yep. And sometimes the offense will pick a play that riffs off a snippet of what the candidate said - the candidate doesn't control that either.
Trump has provided a mountain of material against Hillary. Does the press cover it? Nope. Quelle Surprise.
Trump really is so good. Yet even after watching him systematically dispatch 16 career politicians, we still get the hand-wringers, worried that Trump has finally gone too far. Amazing.
Right now the party that should be worried is Hillary. She’s never faced anybody like Trump in a debate. She must be shaking in her shoes.
Spot on!
“Yep. And sometimes the offense will pick a play that riffs off a snippet of what the candidate said - the candidate doesn’t control that either.”
Correct!
“Trump has provided a mountain of material against Hillary. Does the press cover it? Nope. Quelle Surprise.”
Which is why it’s important to use online sites, not just social media, to get the word out as the MSM won’t cover it.
George Bush was attacked with lies and innuendo from every direction by the left he never answered them he always stayed Above The Fray and he was painted as a dunce that’s how it’s relates I for one am glad to see a candidate fighting back.
SWING VOTERS?!?!?!
Who the hell are these "Swing Voters" you talk about?
No, they won’t, because it is going to get much, much worse.
It’s going to be a nonstop slow motion tsunami against Trump from now until the day he leaves this world.
They wanted a fight, they got one. Now they just have to figure out how not to run away crying with wet britches.
“Right now the party that should be worried is Hillary. Shes never faced anybody like Trump in a debate. She must be shaking in her shoes.”
I have faith that, in one way or another, Hitlery will bail on the debates. She cannot risk exposing herself in anyway whatsoever. It is a 100% losing proposition, no matter how the debates are “moderated” or who does it. She will be totally exposed.
“They wanted a fight, they got one. Now they just have to figure out how not to run away crying with wet britches.”
But that is always the way it is for most people. Cowardice is much easier than courage, and it is easier to rationalize. Courage seems the stupid thing to do, until it is the only rational thing to do. And if you have already turned tail and run, it is too late to show courage.
Clear thinking and focus on the larger goals, instead of getting distracted and mired in the minutia, helps one stay the course. The media’s role in all this is to distract and peel off support for anyone but their chosen one. They are very good at what they do; but they can be beaten if you keep in mind what their job is, and do not trust a single thing they say. It is nearly always all lies and distortions. Then their house of cards falls apart right before your eyes.
If all these concern trolls would just stay focused, doubt everything that they hear and read in the MSM, and apply some critical thinking, they would then see how easy it is to actually discern what is going on, and be able to see through the multitude of lies out there in the wild.
This “military mom” is a YUGE moonbat:

Look at her “likes”. She’s just another frickin’ plant. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus, Trump wanted to show that the muzzie was more muzlim that he was American which is quite true...The terrorist held up supposed a copy of the Constitution and acted as if it meant something to him, which it doesn't...
The jihadist makes his living selling U.S. citizenship to illegal foreign muzlims...So of course he going to attack Trump with the blessings of Hillary and her gang...
