Mike Pence Falls Apart As Fox News Turns Against Trump Over Obama ISIS Comments

By Jason Easley on Sun, Aug 14th, 2016 at 12:11 pm

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Mike Pence fell apart when confronted with the reliably conservative program turned on his running mate Donald Trump.

Transcript via Fox News Sunday:

WALLACE: You and he spent a day defending his remarks, saying that they were serious. Now, Trump says that he was being sarcastic.

So, Governor, which is it?

PENCE: Well, I think he was being very serious, and he was making a point that needs to be made, that there is no question that the failed policies of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the wider Middle East, created a vacuum within Iraq in which ISIS was able to arise. There’s essentially no question —

WALLACE: So then why is he saying he was sarcastic?

PENCE: Well, he was making a very serious point, and look —

WALLACE: Forgive me, why did he say he was being sarcastic?

PENCE: Well, he was making a very serious point. Donald Trump has a way of talking to get people’s attention, and it’s drawn attention to a very important issue.

There was a time when any Democrat president knew where the buck stopped in the White House. And the responsibility for the failed policies in the Middle East that created the environment where ISIS developed belongs to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the American people know that.

WALLACE: Governor, those are all perfectly legitimate points to make, but that isn’t what Trump said. He said that Obama and Clinton were the most valuable players of ISIS, that they were the co-founders of ISIS. Then he said, well, I was just being sarcastic about that, just as he said he was just being sarcastic about inviting Russia to come in and release e-mails of Hillary Clinton’s.

Isn’t the sarcastic excuse getting a bit old?

PENCE: Well, no, I don’t think it’s getting old at all, Chris. Donald Trump made his way through a very competitive primary because he spoke not like your typical politician, but just plainly like an every day American. And speaking plainly is exactly what the American people will anticipate in the course of this election, but more importantly, they’re going to have a president who tells them exactly what’s on his mind, and the American people are going to hear and hear him loudly.

Gov. Pence was a deer in headlights during this interview as Fox News Sunday turned on his running mate on national television. Fox News personalities like Sean Hannity have been defending on a nightly basis, but the daytime programming has seen a noticeable change in tone on Trump.

Pence couldn’t defend Trump’s comments, and the line of questioning that Chris Wallace pursued on Fox News Sunday suggests that the reports that the Republican Party is preparing to dump Trump are credible. The tone of Fox News programming tends to follow the Republican Party.

Trump is clearly in trouble within the Republican Party. Fox News Sunday had let favored Republicans off the hook in the past when they didn’t want to answer a difficult question, so it is revealing that Chris Wallace wouldn’t let the Republican nominee for vice president off of the hook.

Fox News appears to be preparing their viewers for a big letdown. There is no talk of skewed polls on Fox this time around. Fox News isn’t repeating their 2012 attempt to create a false narrative of a Republican victory in November. Signs are growing that not only is the Republican Party preparing to dump Trump, but Fox News and Fox News Sunday are too.

Mike Pence was supposed to be the reason for Republicans to vote for Donald Trump, but Fox News Sunday just threw out Gov. Pence along with the Trump trash.

Why is Fox news attacking the assets of a candidate their owner fund-raised for? Or are these attacks on Trumpster are fake.

[Peace&Freedom]

The exchange shows the Trump controversies are not over his 'flaps' or verbal mistakes (since Pence is a careful speaker), but about him deviating from the establishment line. "Thou shalt not discuss or intimate covert/deep politics aspects of US policies, or bring up issues that indict both parties."

time to start suing for false advertising... good thing CPUd doesnt own any part of this site

 

[enhanced_deficit]

Are you suggesting now that Rupert of Fox, Trump and Obama are all on same team working to get Hillary elected?


Highly-filtered Hillary and her team

So the best way to stop Hillary Clinton from going to White House is to expose her asset, Trump, who is secretly working to get Clinton elected .. is that what you are suggesting with your drive to expose Trump?

And you believe then that both Trump and Obama are on the same team and their goal is to get Clinton elected?

Obama endorses Hillary


What is horrible about SWC Hillary Clinton in your view that all your threads here are focussed on attacking her asset who is trying to get her elected?

Also, if both unfiltered Trumpster and highly filtered DGP Obama are working to get SWC Hillary Clinton elected, why 100% of your threads here focus on criticism of controversial Trumpster but 0% on critique of controversial Obama?

Two and two don't adds up.

Murdoch donates to open borders immigration organizations and is a member of CFR (organization that promotes free trade, open borders and globalism). Same can be said for Ailes when he was there. Trump therefore is not their candidate and stands in the way of their activism.

Hmm. He isn't listed as a member. http://www.cfr.org/about/membership/roster.html?letter=M

Ditto for Ailes.

How does he feel about Trump? http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/05/why-rupert-murdoch-decided-to-support-trump.html

Why Rupert Murdoch Decided to Back Donald Trump

According to a half dozen sources familiar with Murdoch’s thinking, the media mogul has signaled he plans to fully back Trump in the general election against Hillary Clinton. Murdoch’s embrace of Trump is a sharp reversal from the hostile view he held over much of the past year. In fact, according to one high-level Fox source, it was Murdoch himself who directed Kelly to hammer Trump during the debut GOP debate, in Cleveland, that sparked the feud in the first place. “Rupert told her to do that,” the source said.

The Murdoch-Trump alliance is the result of at least two private meetings between the billionaires this spring as well as phone calls from Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Murdoch’s view, according to those who’ve spoken with him, is that Trump is a winner whom the “elites” failed to take seriously. “He doesn’t like people to be snobs and treat Trump like a clown,” one person explained. Murdoch’s outlook is also informed by his take on the winnowed GOP field. When it came down to the final three candidates, Murdoch simply saw Trump as the best option. “He never liked Cruz,” the source explained. Kasich made a personal pitch to Murdoch that he could win on a second ballot at the convention, but failed to persuade. In March, Murdoch tweeted that the GOP would “be mad not to unify” behind Trump.

Spokespersons for Murdoch and Trump did not respond to requests for comment.

That Murdoch flip-flopped on Trump shouldn’t be all that surprising. Yes, Trump’s stances on immigration and trade clash with Murdoch’s more moderate views (he’s for comprehensive reform and trade deals). But throughout Murdoch’s career, he’s sacrificed core principles to forge political alliances that advance his media empire’s interests (after all, he backed both Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair in the U.K.).

And it’s clear Trump is good for business. According to one Fox News producer, the channel’s ratings dip whenever an anti-Trump segment airs. A Fox anchor told me that the message from Roger Ailes’s executives is they need to go easy on Trump. “It’s, ‘Make sure we don’t go after Trump,’” the anchor said. “We’ve thrown in the towel.” Similarly, the New York Post has staked out a pro-Trump position in the marketplace while its rival the Daily News remains one of Trump’s loudest critics. The Post endorsed Trump last month and dubbed him “King Don!” after he won the New York primary. (The outlier among Murdoch’s properties is The Wall Street Journal. “They’re stupid people,” Trump told me back in March).

Murdoch’s strategy seems to be a win-win. If Trump gets into the White House, Murdoch will likely have an open line to the new administration (at least as open as anyone can have with Trump). And, if Trump loses to Hillary Clinton, then Murdoch’s right-wing outlets have a ready-made enemy to beat up on for the next four years. That’s a deal Trump can surely respect.

 

[Origanalist]

There is more to life than posting anti-Trump spam every day CPUd.

 

[samforpaul]

Even Ron Paul has been called a Clinton supporter on this site that bears his name and likeness.

The above line reminds me of how Matt Collins defended Rand when many of us were unhappy w him endorsing Mitch McConnell.

Matt pulled out a once upon a time when Ron endorsed a questionable Republican. I think you are butthurt that Rand's candicy will not result in you being able to ride his coattails to a look at me position.

 

[juleswin]

oh but he says he doesnt do that.... hes not against trump at all...

Complete lie, he has always said he is anti Trump just like many liberty people are but what he has denied is being pro Hillary. Which is a smear tactic used on anyone who doesnt go along with supporting the 2 party selected candidates.

Yep.

 

[CPUd]

Yes, I think I saw the post you are talking about. He is clearly anti Trump and his post history shows that he is aggressively targeting him. I have no problem with the OP article but I personally wish he would be a bit more selective when posting anti Trump stuff on the forum.

I'm not anti-Trump. I don't really care who wins the election. The outcome will be the same no matter who wins.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Yes, and he was kind enough to take Rand out to play golf too, in addition to donating money for Rand's little gaunt overseas for the eye surgeries.

 

[Schifference]

Let's get real! If anybody fell apart in a recent Chris Wallace interview it was Hillary Goddamn Clinton. Here is the proof.
