Pence with a gaffe: Refuses to call David Duke "deplorable" in CNN interview

According to the tweets, Pence responded that he's not in the name calling business and that both he and Trump reject David Duke's support.  "I'm not in the name calling business" and we reject his support isn't the same thing as no.

Oh yeah, I remember the first time he made that laughable statement.  Has he discussed this stance with his current 'business partner'?

For the benefit of our newer posters, there's a long-standing Atlasism that Winfield's posts are infinitely more entertaining if you imagine him sitting in some Newport mansion wearing a monocle.

I thought Winfield was #NeverTrump? He's criticized him a lot in the past, at least.

He is a partisan Republican, ultimately.  I recall him continuing to cheerlead the 2008 ticket, and then after their defeat he admitted how he really felt all along about Sarah Palin.

Like most Republicans who can't stand Trump, they have little choice but to just try to argue that Clinton is even worse.  Better that than try to justify Trump to anyone, least of all themselves.
