Mike Pence Compares Donald Trump To Teddy Roosevelt, Who Said White People Were The 'Forward Race'

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.

Pence said no such thing.The press is out of control. If you quote one iota of something a founder of the country said, they take it completely out of context and twist and distort. Their liberal heroes are in contrast, sanctified.

The Left is going for nothing less than revolution, whose armies will be compliant police forces of liberal cities and states. It will be an asymmetrical civil war, heralded by the media and promoted by Soros-paid mobs. No politician in American history will be immune from attack and all will be subject to censure and revision.

120 years ago there were few people anywhere who did not have views on white being somehow a higher race. What this proves is that Teddy Roosevelt lived 120 years ago.

The media have become utterly disgusting pigs.

IMO More people should do what Dennis prager is doing, he is suing some liberal pieces of trash for defamation for accusing him of racism. Just like Palin is suing the new york times.

Its hard to win when you’re a public figure, but if you have the resources, even losing you can really mess people up financially by suing them.

OK, so the campaigns to delegitimize George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson have concluded successfully, and now the Left will seek to tear down Theodore Roosevelt. The smear of Trump is, of course, mandatory for MSM news at this point.

Before long, the Left will have convinced a generation of Americans that all of it's presidents through history have been a pack of racist criminals, and the re-writing of history on Leftist terms will continue apace. Who knew left-wing totalitarianism would prove to be so successful in the US decades after the fall of the Soviet Union. This is what conservative surrender of the MSM and the public education system to liberals has led to.

The left are completely out of control now- and are committing crimes with impunity as they ram their ideological agenda down America’s throat- They are destroying public property- and illegally replacing statues with statues of their own without city approval- knowing full well that city officials wouldn’t dare stop them because it would be seen as ‘racist’

There is a coup going on right now- and republicans are allowing it to happen- they are allowing the left to walk all over this country- ignore it’s laws- and forcing everyone to comply via bullying reverse racist tactics-

The fact that noone from the right is stopping the lawlessness has emboldened the left like never before- and they are now doing and saying whatever they want and noone can question it- If you do- you are immediately labeled a white supremacist and you career and social standing are jeopardized-

We will have a few holdout states or townships who still uphold the law- but they too will likely eventually cave to the PC as we have witnessed so many times in the past-

Look for the left to start calling for massive protests and boycotts of states that don’t comply- like they did with the bathroom law and NC-

The left are ruling by mob rule now- and the right have stood back and allowed it to happen

And then once you legitimize all the institutions and their history, the founding documents used to guide our Republic are the next to be removed. The Left will want to write up new ones and we need to defend those documents with more than lawyers, actually our lives.

Teddy Roosevelt was a Great American and so is Donald Trump.
