Vice President Pence condemned "racism and violence" on Saturday, one day before hundreds of white nationalists are expected to gather near the White House on the anniversary of last year's violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

"One year after Charlottesville, we remember the tragic events that took place and mourn the loss of life that day," Pence said in a statement posted to Twitter. "Bigotry, racism and hatred run counter to our most cherished values and have no place in American society."

"We condemn racism and violence in the strongest possible terms," Pence continued. "This weekend, Karen and I will pray for the victims of that tragic day and their families."

5. And we're 'too divided' in no small part cause of dipshits like you proclaiming that the US

is 'One Nation Under God' ...

Ya know, you COULD have left out the divisive 'Under God' part, couldn't you have, Mikey? Read it the way the Pledge USED TO READ before the Cold War, IOW?

But no ... you didn't leave it out, because in reality, you don't actually give one fucking WHIT about this Nation's 'Unity', do you, you pathetic Trump knob-gobbler?

9. Now that is the right way to respond to the march

I'm being nice here. He didn't mealy mouth it, he didn't equivocate the counter protests (just as bad), and he singled out the racists by name.

Now let's see if the piece of fucking shit who matters can come close to this. I wouldn't bet a nickel on it.
