NEW YORK (AP) — An airplane carrying Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence has slid off the runway while landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

Pence has told reporters he’s fine and no one on board appears injured.

The plane made a rough impact when it landed. The pilot slammed on the brakes and travelers could smell burning rubber.

Pence says mud splashed on the front windows of the cockpit.

Passengers, including Pence, are being evacuated through the back of the plane.

    See? Ya don’t fuck with Hillary! :sunglasses:

  4. Glad everyone is okay. Our goal is to beat Team Trump in votes on Nov. 9th, not see them injured or dead. Let’s save the snark for another story.

  5. The Trump Campaign finds new ways to step on it’s own potentially favorable news cycle. Less talk about Clinton’s donations more talk about Trump’s plane sliding off the runway. Way to go.
