Washington, D.C.–This evening, Correct The Record Communications Director Elizabeth Shappell released the following statement on Tim Kaine’s wining debate performance in tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate:
“Tonight, Mike Pence aw-shucks-ed and shook his head through 90 minutes of pretending Donald Trump doesn’t exist. He dodged, ducked, deflected and lied his way through the entire debate. Pence utterly failed to defend Donald Trump’s dozens of bigoted and misogynistic insults, attacks on Judge Curiel, nationwide call for stop-and-frisk and affection for Vladimir Putin. Pence appeared irritated and flustered every single time Donald Trump’s name was mentioned. Sorry, Mike, but you signed up for this.
“While the Republican ticket fell apart before our very eyes, Tim Kaine was feisty and passionate. Senator Kaine powerfully and forcefully made the case for Hillary Clinton’s vision for a stronger, fairer America and held the Trump-Pence ticket accountable for their campaign of hate. And unlike Mike Pence, Tim Kaine actually agrees with his running mate on the issues.”
