WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is dodging questions about whether continued criticism of President Donald Trump’s national security adviser is undermining U.S. security and whether Pence believes additional staffing changes are needed at the White House.
Conservative groups and a website formerly run by Trump adviser Steve Bannon have targeted Army Lt. H.R. McMaster as insufficiently supportive of Israel and insufficiently tough toward Iran.
The questions came up at a joint news conference with Pence and Argentine President Mauricio Macri (MAH’-cree).
Instead, Pence spoke about Trump’s job creation and praised Trump’s “strong leadership” on the international stage.
The vice president also defended Trump’s “America first” strategy, saying the Republican has “brought the kind of broad-shouldered leadership to the world stage” that had been lacking under past presidents.
… because there haven’t been enough staff changes …
Pence’s particular combination of “I know nothing” and “I’m Trump’s best robot” is wearing very thin. Please, please let him be among the Trumpsters who will be taken down by Mueller.
Donald’s son in law will have Israel straightened out shortly.
Mother told Pencey to sit quietly and play dumber.
2 things Donald has done almost nothing about.
