WATCH: Mike Pence Is Shocked – Shocked – That Tim Kaine Said Trump’s Is an ‘Insult Driven Campaign’
Mike Pence’s Middle Name Apparently Is ‘Hypocrisy’
During Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate GOP Gov. Mike Pence actually tried to appear offended when Senator Tim Kaine called the Trump campaign “insult driven.”
Donald Trump began his campaign by calling Mexicans “rapists,” and gone down even lower almost every day since.
Watch Tim Kaine make his case, as Mike Pence squirms:
Kaine: “I cannot believe that Gov. Pence will defend the insult-driven campaign that Donald Trump has run.” #Debates https://t.co/4AGjsvQGkq
— ABC News (@ABC) October 5, 2016
Pence, clearly prepared with pre-written insults, called Kaine’s comments an “avalanche of insults.”
Watch as he tries to appear shocked – shocked! – that Kaine would call the Trump-Pence campaign “insult-driven”:
“Ours is an insult-driven campaign? Did you all just hear that?†Pence on Kaine’s review of #Trump campaign comments https://t.co/KZmtFtHq8h

He would have done well in Casablanca.
Some responses via Twitter:Â
Pence: You’re calling ours an insult-driven campaign?
To be fair, you literally call her “Crooked Hillary†in your official materials.
