Mike Pence Dances Around, Declines to Answer ‘Is America Morally Superior to Russia?’ (Video)

In the interview, Pence denied that President Donald Trump’s tweet about a “so-called judge” he disagreed with was an assault on his legitimacy, and expressed confidence that the president’s executive order which banned travelers from certain countries would be upheld in the courts. Host John Dickerson played a portion of Trump’s interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, in which the host pointed out that Putin is “a killer” and the president responded, “You think our country is so innocent?” Dickerson asked Pence whether he agreed with that. What the president is determined to do, as someone who has spent a lifetime looking for deals, is to see if we can have a new relationship with Russia and other countries that advances the interests of America first and the peace and security of the world.
