Pence accuses China of anti-Trump campaign

Vice President Pence on Thursday accused China of meddling in U.S. elections with the aim of hurting President Trump and the Republican Party, the latest sign of the administration taking a tough line against Beijing ahead of the November midterms.

In a fiery speech to the conservative Hudson Institute in Washington, Pence said that China is extending its power "in more proactive and coercive ways to interfere in the domestic policies and politics of the United States."

“China has initiated an unprecedented effort to influence American public opinion, the 2018 elections, and the environment leading into the 2020 presidential elections,” Pence said.

"To put it bluntly, President Trump’s leadership is working; China wants a different American president," Pence said.

So that's going to be your excuse when you lose the mid terms?

Where's the proof?

Surely he's turned it over to the FBI. Whoops. Partisan hacks over at the FBI.

Maybe he's turned it over to Mueller. Whoops. Not legitimate.

Hmmm. . . what does one do in this situation?

By delegitimizing every part of the government, you make it impossible for anything to get done. And now that you've compromised the FBI in reality thanks to the bogus investigation of Kavanaugh - apart from your vile political attacks - there's nowhere to turn to respond to these attacks.

Oh, and BTW, where is Little Jeffy Sessions to defend his FBI? Oh you little despicable elf.

CIA? They don't have jurisdiction?

Military? No reason to.

Anyone else?

You really fucked things up, Mike. All while licking the butt of a man who under other circumstances you would have nothing to do with. Gosh, I really do hope you're cellmates in the big house.
