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

“Smarmy GOPe Pence creeps me out.”

Idiotic statements like that make people think all on FR are imbeciles. Pence is a strong conservative, a faithful man and by ALL indications 100% loyal to Donald Trump.

It’s mindless nimrods like yourself that “creep me out”.

Second that motion. Pence hit a lot of hard balls, curve balls and screw balls out of the park during the campaign. I think he is actually a better speaker and campaigner than Trump - Trump won on difficulty, timing and hitting the mark, not on grace and style.

The only Trump child with 2 citizen parents is Tiffany.

AOL headline stories are angrefying agitprop, too.

Sorry about that. I agree with you.

I should have made clear that the original NYTripe had been posted a bunch of times today, and I don't see what possesses folks to post it. And so many of these Trump hit pieces.

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

He's not eligible. His mother was not a citizen of these United States at the time of his birth. He's not a Natural Born Citizen.

Pence could win in 2024 after Trump MAGA, similar to read my lips 1000 points of light won after 8 years of Reagan.

My brother’s pastor is a personal friend of Pence and says that Pence is the real deal. Franklin Graham is also a friend of Pence.
The left tries every angle to shake our confidence. Prayers up for Trump and Pence.

I DO recall many members of this forum making a huge deal out of NBC status. I expect to see consistency and intellectual honest on the matter.

Born in the United States, to a US citizen father and a US citizen mother. Right?

OK. In your opinion, what are the requirements for someone to be a “Natural Born Citizen”?

Lindsey Graham isn’t up for re-election until 2020 so how is he a primary target for 2018?

Graham could have been ousted in 2014 with a single strong candidate. Instead numerous candidates ran against him and made for a lack of a cohesive message against his re-nomination.

Sometimes when Trump is speaking, they’ll pull in on a closeup of Pence watching the speech. The look on his face is disturbing. Check it out sometime. Like he’s thinking, “What a schmuck!” I could be wrong. He’s probably a decent guy.

Of course I recall that many on this forum objected to Barack’s eligibility. But we are all not elected to any positions of authority. If the powers that be in GOP did not sue and take the case to SCOTUS, it is now sadly an established precedence. If Barack was allowed to serve 2 terms, my honest opinion is that Eric Trump or any US born person with ONE citizen parent will have no problem with eligibility in future. What I think or the forum thinks matters little.
