Pence says he won't call David Duke deplorable because that would "validate the word Hillary Clinton used to describe the American people"
Keep digging that hole...
So basically Pence is defending David Duke here
I'd say so. It's not like there aren't Americans that are very clearly deplorable, and Duke is one pretty much anyone should get a pass on calling deplorable. I love how he's boxed himself in on this. Keep refusing to call him deplorable and look like a white supremacy sympathizer, or call him deplorable and validate Clinton!
It's so amusing how they just can't shake David Duke. It really didn't have to be like this - He's just some obscure former Klan leader / professional loser, and somehow Trump made him a perpetual campaign issue.
