TV reporter takes down Mike Pence and it’s a joy to watch
You’ve got to hand it to this reporter who basically asks Mike Pence ‘Why do you appear to know f-ck all about anything, Mr Vice President?’
Question to Vice President Pence about Rob Porter: "Can you comment on why you often seem a little bit out of the loop on some of this major news?" pic.twitter.com/oi5vt8iKS5

And his answer basically confirms everything you’ve ever thought about him.
Just flat out ignores the question. Rude and disrespectful of someone on the public payroll to dismiss press questions for puff piece answer to a question not even asked. #Pence is a BS artist.

Answering the question means accepting the premise: That he *is* out of the loop. He isn’t obligated to accept the premise, if he finds it wrong. “When did you stop beating your wife? ANSWER THE QUESTION!”

I suppose he could have answered , 'I'm not out if the loop,' as one might have also answered, 'I don't beat my wife.'

Just in case you, like Mike Pence, don’t know much about the Rob Porter story.
So to review: Rob Porter was waved through as the staff secretary to the president despite the FBI refusing him a security clearance due to his violent history; a job where he nonetheless would have seen all info coming to the president — unclassified and CLASSIFIED.
