Mike Pence can’t believe Tim Kaine would insult Donald Trump by quoting him

It was Tim Kaine who launched the first accusation that his opponents were relying on insults during the campaign. “I can’t imagine,” the Democratic vice-presidential candidate said, “how Governor Pence can defend the insult-driven selfish ‘me first’ style of Donald Trump.”

Gov. Mike Pence quickly replied. “Well, let me — let me say first and foremost that, senator, you and Hillary Clinton would know a lot about an insult-driven campaign. It really is remarkable,” he rebutted. Over the course of the vice-presidential debate, Pence repeatedly made the same charge: It was Kaine and Clinton who were the ones being insulting, not he and Donald Trump. At times, Pence made his case by directly accusing Kaine of being insulting. At times he simply shook his head while Kaine was speaking.
