Pence: Cowardly Response to a Call for Revolution…Not Even Worth a Penny

10/15/2016

2 Comments

 
Statement by a supporter at a Pence rally:

​​"My name is Rhonda.   …I will tell you for me personally if Hillary Clinton gets in, I myself, I'm ready for a revolution because we can't have her in"
 
Pence, “Don’t say that.”  And subsequently, Pence stated that there will be a revolution in November, implying that he and Trump would win the election?
 
Pence did NOT condemn her statement in the strongest of terms.
 
  1. Pence did not say that her statement was unreasonable.
  2. He did not say that our country has, for nearly 250 years, had peaceful transfers of power.
  3. He did not say that one civil war in our history is one too many.  He did not say that revolution would unleash “unregulated militias” that “keep and bear arms” bringing anarchy to our previously stable political system and infringing on the due process of law.  Civil war in the United States turning us into another Syria, another Iraq…terrorists would be celebrating as we destroy ourselves.
  4. He did not say consider all the morbidity and mortality, all the destruction that a violent revolution would cause.
  5. He did not say that we are not a third world country using brutality as a tool of political change.
 
In this important circumstance, Pence is demonstrated to be an irresponsible, injudicious man running for Vice-President of the United States.

I wish you'd post this for people to see. I think we need to take these nutcases at their word that they will incite and potentially take up arms. Trump created this and there is no way he has any common sense along with Pence to even try to talk these people off the ledge.
Well said CJ!!
