Gov. Mike Pence Defends President Obama's Patriotism ()

[E. Pluribus Unum]

John Roberts was filling in for Chris Wallace and after interviewing Gov. Mike Pence as a possible 2016 GOP presidential hopeful, asked him to comment on Rudy Giuliani's ridiculous claims that President Obama doesn't love America.

Roberts: You know what Rudy Giuliani said, the other day,. he believes the president doesn't love America. At least not in the way Ronald Reagen did and the way Bill Clinton did. Do you believe this president loves America?

Pence: I don’t think it helps to question the president’s patriotism or motives, but look, Rudy Giuliani is a great American. He saw nearly 3,000 of his own citizens die on 9/11 and he is understandably frustrated with a president who as I said before, fully willing to lecture the people of this country about the Crusades but is unwilling to call Islamic extremism for what it is.

Roberts sounds so serious when he asks Pence if Obama loves America. Maybe he should have added his own opinion in later on. How does being the mayor of NYC make you a great American? Anyway, Pence was smart enough not to act like Scott Walker or Bobby Jindal and double down on Giuliani's horrible remarks.

"Pence was smart enough not to act like Scott Walker or Bobby Jindal and double down on Giuliani's horrible remarks."

What color panties does John Roberts wear? I bet they match what Chris Wallace wears.

Well, this is disappointing. I was under the impression Pence was one of the good guys.
Guess I was wrong

Sooner or later the RINO comes out of the closet.

Rudy’s comments hit a nerve, so the leftist media has to use other Republicans to attack Rudy by proxy.

[Pelham]

Hugh Hewitt was protecting Barky from mean old Rudy as well.

It seems to be a popular move among squishes seeking to stay in good standing with their liberal Democrat friends.

More Pubbies are taking the bait.

No wonder they are the Party of Stupid!

Lindsey Graham also took it.

Lindsey Graham also took it

Lindsay Graham IS bait. Rotting, stinking loserbait.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I could have guessed that, I’ve known Hewitt was a squish for years.

If they had to say something, the best thing to say would have been something like “Rudy is entitled to his opinion” or something equally non-committal.

The fact is Rudy was right and The Ministry Of Propaganda is having a hissy fit and trying to get other GOP to condemn what he said. By doing so they are playing into their hands.

Did Rudy say anything about “patriotism”? I thought he said Obama doesn’t love America.

And why do Republicans have to even comment on Rudy’s words. Any Dems being asked about Biden’s Somali cab driver comment?

[Ken H]

I just looked closer. Make that 5 shades of Greyhound, LOL!

Another RINO, Gov. Mike Pence, comes out to suck-up to Obama! Who'd have thought it? What a Quisling wannabe. Stick a fork in Mike, folks, he's done for any 2016 presidential hopes — before he started.

Another sold- out apologist for the Enemy. Shame how some otherwise promising politicians keep trying to prop up the islamoNazi infiltrator in chief

[Dr. Thorne]

It's not that Obama doesn't love America. It's that Obama hates America.

Mike Pence is a GOPe zombie. Screw him.

What Pence said has NOTHING to do with the headline.

Pence is NOT "defeding" Obama.

Pence: I don’t think it helps to question the president’s patriotism or motives,

NOWHERE does Pence say what the president's patriotism or motives are, only that it is pointless to question them, perhaps because it cannot help the country, as we're stuck with him without a working coalition to impeach him. That is NOT defending him. As a counter-example, Pence could have just as easily said that he didn't think it would help to question the motives of the road rage atheist who kiklled those Muslims. Whether he did it out of regular anger, or anger at Muslims, they are just as dead, and it will be harder to prove at trial.

Let's not let drooling leftists control our perception of decent guys like Pence with bad headline writing.

defeding = defending
