Mike Pence Says His Kids Are Somehow Proof Affirmative Action Is No Longer Needed

Former Vice President Mike Pence bizarrely pointed to his own white family of college graduates while praising the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Thursday to end affirmative action across most institutions of higher education.

Colleges and universities across the country have had affirmative action policies in place for decades in order to promote more racially diverse student bodies.

Speaking from Ukraine on Thursday, the 2024 Republican presidential contender told MSNBC’s Dasha Burns that he was “grateful to see the conservative majority that we helped build on the Supreme Court of the United States bring an end to most of affirmative action.”

“There may have been a time 50 years ago when we needed to affirmatively take steps to correct long-term racial bias in institutions of higher education,” Pence added. “But I can tell you, as the father of three college graduates, those days are long over.”

I wish there was a remedy for intolerance, stupidity, incompetence, ignorance and bigotry.

What has he done to help end racial discrimination. Also, please cite any conservative who has advocated for the 14th amendment for African Americans.

There was never a time for people like Pence. He wouldn’t have supported Brown v Board. These GOP clowns couch their words in such a way as to seem like they would have supported the civil rights movement but there is always a qualification in the mix.

Why honey is better than shit.

This is all I have to say about this scummy loser cry baby traitor. He knew the plan but was to scared to go through with it. He didn't want to be the scapegoat if it didn't work. He cared about himself not the country.

Besides he said he vote for trump anyway...losers.

I wonder if he's really stupid enough to believe that or if he's just saying it because it will sound good to republican voters.
