Vice President Mike Pence on Monday night accused the media of overstating the troubling nature of President Donald Trump’s phone call in July with the president of Ukraine.
During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Pence defended the call in which Trump reportedly pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden.
“Well, here we go again,” Pence said. “The ‘assume the worst’ media takes one report, runs with it.”
The vice president then repeated Trump’s excuse for the call: Merely having a discussion about “honesty in government” and fighting corruption, during which Trump’s political opponent just happened to come up.
“[Trump] mentioned Vice President Biden and his son in the context of us wanting to see honest government,” Pence said. “That’s exactly what the American taxpayer would expect.”

QTip still believes if he continues to carry water for Spankee he’s gonna get a chance at the Oval Office himself someday.
Someone so delusional is just plain pathetic.
He might, however, end up in the same cellblock with Spankee though, for being such a good brown noser.
F**k you, Mike. Figure that one out.

Spineless Accomplice Admonishes Spineless Enablers For Allowing News Story to Be Published.
Imagine how hard it must be to keep your pants clean when you are mired in corrupt horseshit right up to your nice crisp white collar.
Why wouldn’t the media assume the worst when you are actively conspiring to hide information from us!
