Vice President Mike Pence repeatedly refused to directly answer during a Sunday interview whether he believes the US is morally superior to Russia.

His dodges on the subject came a day after President Donald Trump rebuffed Bill O'Reilly when the Fox News host dubbed Russian President Vladimir Putin a "killer," reiterating that he respects Putin, and claiming that the US is not "so innocent."

Appearing on "Face The Nation" on Sunday, Pence defended Trump's comments, saying the president recognizes "the extraordinary superiority of the ideas of the American people" but that he was "bringing a healthy skepticism" to the US-Russia relationship.

"I simply don't accept that there was any moral equivalency in the president's comments. Look, President Trump, throughout his life, his campaign, and during his administration, has never hesitated to be critical of government policies by the United States in the past," Pence said. "What you heard there was a determination to attempt to deal with the world as it is. To start afresh with Putin, and to start afresh with Russia."

ANOTHER AMORAL SPINELESS REPUBLICAN COWARD. Eisenhower and Reagan are turning over in their graves.

2. I was hoping Chuck Todd was going to ask

if Pence respected Putin. And then we could watch the sociopath squirm and sidestep the question.
