Military mom booed at Mike Pence rally in Nevada

Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence quieted a campaign rally crowd Thursday that booed a woman who asked how he can tolerate Donald Trump's disrespect of American servicemen.

After delivering a standard stump speech, Pence took audience questions at a room inside a Carson City, Nevada, casino.

The second question came from a woman who said her son serves in the U.S. Air Force. The mother asked about Trump's treatment of Muslim parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son, a decorated Army veteran, was killed in Iraq in 2004.

"Will there ever be a point in time when you're able to look Trump in the eye and tell him enough is enough?" the woman asked Pence, prompting boos from the crowd.

Amazing. In the end, the Republican party's foundation is built on racism and hate. I guess you could say that the insistence of Republican leaders on supporting Trump just means that they are in touch with the base of their party. However, there are times when the a leader needs to take a stand, and ignore the hate-filled base that they helped create.

1. Oh, these are rotten lice shit for brains.

No good bastard republicans.

It's to be expected.

[truthisfreedom]

2. Eating their own, from the inside out.

Everything about trump sneaks through the republican metal detector and causes mayhem before they can do anything to stop it.

[hibbing]

3. Disgusting n/t

[TomCADem]

5. Pence's Remark Was Weak - He Deserves to Be Trump's VP

Awkward family photo and all...

7. ......

Caution: really awful video ahead ! ! !

8. Why, that's the old Third Eagle of The Apocalypse, right?

Dude is seriously juvenile and weird.

Like, reallyreallyreally weird. Might as well be parody. My favorite:

[trusty elf]

10. Wow

seriously kooky!


Please note that "Eagle" contains the word "leg". His name can thus be interpreted as "Third Leg", which as everyone knows, means......

PRICK ! ! ! ! ! ! !

21. Jesus H. Christ - the nut has fallen off the tree

His obsession with phallic symbols - wow, hope the guy isn't around children, but I'll bet he's involved in a church some way.

[47of74]

48. Yeah me too

And his YouTube channel is full of all sorts of stupid stuff...

[Volaris]

47. Uh huh. Does the rest of the quote need posting?

Right I didn't think so.

[Person 2713]

4. Wow

[Feeling the Bern]

6. Can this pretense that the GOP gives a rat's ass about the military finally die?

They boo their parents. They boo veterans. They boo Gold Star parents. They cut VA funding.

Why is the military so fucking right wing?

[mdbl]

14. Been wondering this since they backed that fake military movie actor in the 80's

It's been weirdsville ever since.

[Skittles]

9. they believe in FREEDOM, until they DON'T

[beachbum bob]

11. watching the destruction of the GOP.....as they turn on all things americans hold dear

....at least pence tried to do right

[ck4829]

12. Support the troops... as in more support for the cardboard cutouts, right GOP?

[RapSoDee]

13. Republicans booing & hating on our soldiers and their mothers?

That sucks.

What's next? Republicans will start booing apple pie.

What is wrong with the Republicans?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

15. It's official: I'm on crack.

Now matter how many times I read that headline, it seems to me to say that a military mom was booed at a Republican rally.

Someone, please, what does "Military mom booed at Mike Pence rally in Nevada" really say?

[retrowire]

36. it actually says

Free cotton candy and confetti handed out to festival attendees at random event.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

37. Whew. What a relief. Thanks. NT

[Odin2005]

16. We need to repeat "WHY DO REPUBLICANS HATE THE TROOPS?" over and over.

[ffr]

29. I often do, because I think it's disgusting double talk on their behalf

You're dead on. Republicans or at least the ones I know, are thin skinned warriors for the military. They know very little to nothing about our arsenal of democracy. They only know talking points they've heard on RW M$M.

I'd have their back as an American if it came down to it, but I'd be worried they'd turn coat and run if it came down to them doing the same. Or worse, they'd feed on some RW talking point that told them their enemy was any democrat, ME, instead of the enemy coming towards us.

Weak minded individuals with flawed hypocritical values.

[Fritz Walter]

34. As with all small children,...

Hatred does not come to them naturally. It must be taught to them. Noose Corpse, AM talk-radio personalities and others have misshaped their small minds. As long as those putrid hate-mongers find it financially and emotionally rewarding, they will continue to swear allegiance to Dog and Gumtree, while pissing on those who don the uniform, pick up a weapon and stand a post, willing to sacrifice themselves for a greater good.

[left-of-center2012]

17. Trump avoided the draft

He's said his not getting sexually transmitted diseases during his 'whoring around' was comparable
to the experience of Vietnam vets surviving the war.
Why the Hell do vets support him?!

[IronLionZion]

18. Video

Pence did good with his respectful response. I'll give him that. But their supporters are fucking assholes.

[auntpurl]

25. GOOD FOR HER.

These people are animals.

[riversedge]

28. And in the same breathe-Pence went on to gush over Trump ..& how he supports the troops

Major GUSH--which to me negates his opening statement!

Military mom booed at Pence rally after asking about Trump's 'disrespect'

............After the question he asked the crowd to quiet down and said. “Folks that's what freedom looks like and what freedom sounds like."

The Indiana governor went on to say "Let me just say first I want to honor your son's service to the country and your family's service to the country, I truly do."

He then talked about Trump and said that the businessman supports veterans “like no other leader in my lifetime.”

"The only other thing I would say to you is having spent time with our nominee, I have never been around someone more devoted to the armed forces of this country, more devoted to the families of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marine and coast guard and no one more devoted to the veterans in this country," Pence said. "Donald Trump supports our soldiers and supporters our veterans like no other leader in my lifetime.".......

[TeamPooka]

46. so devoted but doesn't know how to take the high road with a dead soldier's family

I don't think Trump or Pence know the meaning of the word devoted.

[Mc Mike]

42. 'Captain Khan was a hero', says Pence for the dRumpf campaign,

while dRumpf campaign proxy Roger Stone simultaneously says Khan and his family are Muslim Brotherhood.

'Nobody cares about and supports our troops and vets like dRumpf', Pence says, in order to support the guy who badmouthed POWs, used a fake one member astro-turf group called 'Veterans for a Strong America' to skip out of a debate, and did everything he could to not donate one cent to that fake fundraiser for the vets, until WaPo caught him on it in late May. And who wants to privatize the VA.

[lonestarnot]

19. No surprise. Troops are tools to the GOP bastards, just disposable Disney passengers.

[kimbutgar]

20. I feared for the mother's safety after watching that video

The crowd looked like they wanted to beat her up.

[ffr]

30. Crowd? More like mob.

Rightwingers are nutty nut, low information types. Be very wary around crowds. If not for the cameras at this event, I could imagine the Drumpf mob stoning her to death.

[Initech]

22. Support the troops... right.

[The Wizard]

23. tRump has picked the scab

off the festering sore known as the Republican core: hatred, bigotry and fear.

[vkkv]

24. "I don't like soldiers who are captured, they are LOSERS - I like WINNERS!"

Referring to John McInsane.

[riversedge]

26. REC

[procon]

27. She was interviewed on Lawrence O'Donnell last night.

She didn't expect to be booed.

[ffr]

31. Pence offers no ideas, no policy ideas, no reason to vote for Drumpf

other than, we have to stop Hillary. That's not a plan!

Anybody who supports such empty rhetoric imperils us all.

GOTV. We have a lot of good things to accomplish in the next 4 years, as already laid out by HRC.

[blueseas]

32. Disgusting

What sacrifice has the boo crowd made?

[Initech]

35. Support the troops, my ass.

[oberliner]

38. She insulted Trump at a Trump/Pence rally

Obviously Trump supporters are going to boo her.

If someone insulted Hillary at a Clinton/Kaine rally, I would think there might be some boos as well.

This isn't really all that strange.

[Politicub]

39. The Trumpeteers - keeping it classy

[muntrv]

40. Another reminder that they only support conservative soldiers.

[JeaneRaye]

41. Makes me proud to be a Nevadan.

A Trump supporter also vandalized the Washoe County's (Reno) headquarter's sign out in front of the building. Spray painted "Vote 4 Trump" on it. These people are disgusting.

[red dog 1]

43. K&R!

It took courage for her to even ask that type of question of Pence.
(Courage is something that both Pence and Trump lack)

[dembotoz]

44. took major balls on the part of that woman

[TeamPooka]

45. Please proceed Republican base..... nt

[Grins]

49. It's who they are...

It's who they are.

Remember back in 2011 during a Republican debate, Army Capt. Stephen Hill, a gay U.S. soldier, was BOOED! by the audience after he asked about candidates' views on repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Remember at that same debate a hypothetical question was posed to Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas).

“What do you tell a guy who is sick, goes into a coma and doesn’t have health insurance? Who pays for his coverage? Are you saying society should just let him die?” - Wolf Blitzer.

“Yeah!” - 'The base' shouted.

It's who they are.
