Pence Quiet After Trump's "Shithole" Comments

MIKE PENCE HAS SAID NOTHING ABOUT TRUMP'S ‘SHITHOLE’ OR RACIST COMMENTS

BY GREG PRICE ON 1/13/18 AT 11:17 AM

Vice President Mike Pence has yet to make a statement, of any kind, following the wave of reports of President Donald Trump’s “shithole countries” and other perceived racist comments.

Trump reportedly described Haiti and African nations as “shitholes” and asked why more people from countries like Norway cannot immigrate to the U.S. during a meeting on immigration reform Thursday,

Other reports quoted Trump as implying that most welfare recipients are black and also asking why a “pretty Korean” woman was not negotiating with North Korean despot Kim Jong Un.

Pence, who has stuck by Trump through numerous scandals in their roughly 18-month long political alliance, did not attend Thursday’s meeting but has been curiously silent ever since, Politico noted.

Honestly I have only really heard him speak while praising Trump. He does his damage behind the scenes.
