Pence: We will 'absolutely' accept results of election

Source: The Hill

October 16, 2016, 11:12 am

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said he and running mate Donald Trump will "absolutely" accept the results of the general election.

"The American people will speak in an election that will culminate on Nov. 8," Pence said in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press."

"But the American people are tired of the obvious bias in the national media. That's where this sense of a rigged election goes here."

Pence attacked the media, saying news outlets are pushing negative attacks about Trump instead of focusing on "the read hard evidence" against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

between Pence and Trump is a glaring fact of the news this fall.

Good thing they aren't running on the same ticket.

On MTP, he said rigged election a number of times, so he's talking out of both sides of his ass.

Regardless of what Pence says, Trump has been trumpeting for a long time (PRE-election) that the election is/will be, "rigged". He's laying the groundwork for a loss contestation and for his followers to possibly take to the streets.

16. What "Real Hard Evidence?"

Seriously? That's his rebuttal? Multiple investigations of Hilary going back to Whitewater and ZIP, ZERO, NADA in the way of any hard evidence. Guess he missed the point of the FBI saying there was no "there" there in the latest little non-scandal.

To humiliate us even further, though I had not considered that possibility.

Never mind the orange buffoon looming behind me. That is all. "
