...Pence quieted a campaign rally crowd Thursday that booed a woman who asked how he can tolerate Donald Trump's disrespect of American servicemen....
...question came from 52-year-old Catherine Byrne, whose son serves in the U.S. Air Force. Byrne asked Pence about Trump's treatment of Muslim parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son, a decorated Army veteran, was killed in Iraq in 2004.
"Will there ever be a point in time when you're able to look Trump in the eye and tell him enough is enough?" she asked Pence, prompting boos from the crowd.
....At a rally in Reno a few hours later, Pence brought up Capt. Khan and his family...and then went on to say that what he didn't understand was why the media was ignoring the mother of Sean Smith (one of the four Americans killed in Benghazi) when she spoke at the Republican convention two weeks ago.

They better get a good canned reply: “Mr. Kahn’s son we respect deeply for his service and sacrifice. Mr. Kahn and his wife, on the other hand, who willingly stepped into the national political spotlight. Mr.Kahn has professional connections to...”
The Media will NEVER let him move on....we are DOOMED.
Do you think the media would tell anyone?
The reason I ask is that there are already TONS of vets, Gold Star families, retired military (I am) and others who support Trump, but to the press and those Americans who rely on the media to tell them the “news’; well those Trump supporters do not exist!
No one can possibly believe that Hillary would be better for the troops. This is so unthinkable.
"What?! That's awful!"
The media is good at pretending that Trump said what they want him to say to bolster and spread their hate. The media has destroyed many a Republican candidate with the magnification of their lies.
Perhaps Trump will be the one who finally punches through the corrupt media.
The crooked vast left-wing conspiracy has been operating for fifty years or more.
Yes and Facebook isn’t the real world.
Checking “like” and standing in line for over an hour to vote are two totally different things.
Hillary’s approval rating amongst 18-34 year olds is 30%....NOT good for a Party that relies on that Demo so heavily.
Oh please. Facebook is mostly folks I used to think are intelligent NOT discussing issues, just promoting their spoon-fed agenda. Both sides.
The ones we can bring to our side are the ones who get it that Sanders herded up those who are fed up on the dem side and led them to slaughter. The only way to clean house on their side is for hillary to lose. The only way to clean house on our side is for Trump to win. Thus, Trump being President is a win-win and hillary being president is a lose-lose.
But if you're going to convey it to folks, it isn't on Facebook. What a weird place FB is, if the goal was free and open discussion. If people don't like what you say, they can "unfriend" you. If they don't want to make you mad, they can keep you as a "friend" but without telling you block everything you have to say. And if you don't like people's replies to what you say, you can make the discussion go away. Do I have that right?....free and open discussion for snowflakes who don't want their feelings hurt.
End of FB rant.
There are one or two real good Trump researchers on FR. He should have one of them at his side, every minute. (1) for research (2) to prevent Trump from responding to some stuff until the facts are known.
They just want Trump off Hillary’s email story.
Perhaps Trump will be the one who finally punches through the corrupt media.
For a while, it was Cindy Sheehan, until she became a caricature of herself - then they dumped her. This time around it's Khan and (by extension) parents of a fallen soldier.
Anyone remember the Jersey Girls?
Aye. No one seems to care about the Benghazi mother who spoke at the RNC. Hillary’s camp came out saying she was a liar. The news media spent a day trashing her.
As well as off Benghazi. The press steps in strongly to defend Hillary on Benghazi, but they allow her to be pinocchio'd on the e-mail. That tells me which story they fear more, Benghazi.
I would have booed this idiot woman, too, if I were there.
Trump has nothing BUT respect for the military.
Hitlery Rotten Criminal has a long history of treating the military like something you scrape off the bottom of your shoe.
She posted a campaign picture of Hillary on her Facebook page on February 21st. Yeah, she’s a plant, alright.
Heh, that would be my gut reaction too, and there isn't a good way, from the audience, to emit a "Not so fast!" response, and challenge the premise, while respecting her son and her loss.
As you say, and I agree, she's an idiot (either that or dishonest), and no question she is driven by emotion. "Booing" her just triggers her defenses. Slow things down a bit, and make her justify her response - test her assumptions while showing an open mind. They can't survive this approach.
Notice the press works on an entirely different mechanism, there is no time to "discuss" the assumptions and basis, and that is where the falsehood lies. The press environment (and rally environment) is designed to move too fast to be pinned down or corrected.
I am saying this might merit a nationwide ad campaign as well as appearances at Trump rallies.
This camel’s nose under the tent must be swatted away.
Trump needs to double down on the way Islam treats women. Because he is RIGHT.
Being on Facebook and being in awe of all the leftist crap is like climbing down into the sewer and being in awe of all the rats.
The number of people that have sold their soul to the Democrat Party, actually, Satan because Satan is the CEO of the Democrat Party is amazing. And probably, like those throughout history that have sold their souls or birthrights, the price was cheap.
Khan was killed more than a decade ago and not a word from Khzir Khan... until now. Khzir Khan appears at the DNC convention and attacks Trump. Khzir Khan is using his dead son to promote his politics. Khzir Khan is a phony and he disgraces his son.
