You are correct, Pence just made an open border Koch guy his chief of staff. If Pence was POTUS there would be no push for the wall. So Biden saying a nice thing about Pence is not a good thing. The fact that Joe backtracked it because an LBGT crazy got upset shows what a hack Biden is.
Joe knows that Pence was part of the Boehner, Ryan, Cantor, McCarthy House leadership that has been blocking the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
He’s also far too cozy with Kushner in the immigration sellout, etc.
Not surprising that Deep State Joe would think Deep State Mike is not a bad guy...
