Pence claims 'over half' of women's march were Trump supporters
CAMERON JOSEPH
18 hrs ago


Vice President Mike Pence is getting in on the "alternative facts" fun.

Pence or his team made the claim that "well over half" of the huge crowds out protesting Trump's inauguration during Saturday's Women's March in Washington were actually fans of the new president in a Facebook post, the latest example of top Trump administration representatives choosing to misstate basic facts.

"Our Administration is proud to stand with American women and of our supporters' significant role in this cause. Despite the misleading Liberal Media's claims, we clearly saw that well over half of the participants in yesterday's march were Trump supporters," reads a post on Pence's official Facebook page posted on Sunday.

[jmg257]

2. Where the hell did he/they pull that one from???

[LisaL]

7. The same place in which they got million of illegals supposedly voting?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

67. He pulled it out of the anus that decorates Hair DrumpFuhrer's face. . . . nt

[coco22]

99. This is what they do..

and have been doing it for decades. They took over just about all of the radio stations and all of the host spout the same message with adifferent twist on it,whatever the it is. they even have the same thing broadcasting at the same time on 2 or 3 stations like sports or some other nonsense. Lie,lie,lie,lie,LIE! just like their President.

[bdamomma]

3. another liar

you can forget that, those women were all not supporters of tRump.

up is down, down is up.

[Cha]

4. pence rears his ugly head.. trumpLiars need to get their

stories straight.. kac was pushing the lie that they were protesting President Obama on Sunday.

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Could we see some pictures or other evidence of their support?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

59. The proof?

Why, it's just.....umm.......just....I don't know where the hell it is.

[demmiblue]

62. Duh, it's right here:

See, it's the 200,000 strong 'wall of meat' (This, indeed, was taken on Saturday in D.C.).

[Eyeball_Kid]

70. Looks like the Wall of Meat is spending a lot of time on the toilet!

What are they doing? Waiting for the next wave of diarrhea?

[mountain grammy]

73. Saw that with my own eyes, thanks for the pic.

[hvn_nbr_2]

86. A wingnut made it up. That's proof to them. nt

[Initech]

6. No I think the correct answer to that is zero.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. The Loathing Is Likely So Intense. . .

. . .that it might actually equate to a negative number!

[femmocrat]

8. And how well they disguised themselves in those pink pussy hats!

So clever of them!

[Cha]

10. they're jealous.. they want in on the action after their pitiful

turnout @ the inaugural.

[tanyev]

27. So he's claiming that a lot of Trump supporters simply showed up on the wrong day.

*snort*

[Cha]

31. Yeah.. whatever it takes to

mollify their big dumbshit blotus.

[woodsprite]

38. They were afraid of the yuuuge crowds expected at the inauguration, so they thought they'd wait. n/t

[Demsrule86]

45. This is so pitiful.

It really is.

[Eyeball_Kid]

71. The folks in the stands are his Peanut Gallery. He took them to the CIA meeting. They cheered wildly

[Croney]

11. Then he should show us their signs.

There were hundreds of thousands of pro-Trump signs at the marches world-wide! Oddly, none got in any pictures. Conspiracy I'm sure.

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Alternative facts: "pence" is the old English plural for "penis"

[WhiteTara]

54. So, Rancid Penis is the Chief of Staff and VP is Penis

both work for the biggest dick in town.

[shraby]

13. I call bullsh** on it. pence likes alternate facts as much as trump and the

rest of the ninnies.

[Tanuki]

14. "When youre about to get run out of town on a rail, get out in front and call it a parade". eom

[Docreed2003]

15. WTF....this how they want to spin this now???

Unbelievable bullshit...it doesn't help that the media, in some cases, failed to call this a protest march against Trump. I saw protests across the world and I didn't see anyone in those crowds who was marching in solidarity with Trump or his fucked up agenda.

[Generator]

89. I am horrified

Wondering if Pence is also under Trump's thumb? Tell the lies or else???? I feel more fear every day.

[Docreed2003]

102. It's either that, or he's just as morally bankrupt as Trump

[haele]

110. No, he probably said it as cover for Trump, to calm him down.

If he believes half the marchers in DC were Trump supporters, Trump can tell himself that he had a majority of supporters showing up over Friday and Saturday.
The other reason he said it was that as Goebbels said "If you repeat a lie enough times, it becomes the truth".

Pence was just being his usual hypocritical mealy-mouthed self.

Haele

[rzemanfl]

16. Great. They're both fucking nuts. n/t

[Cha]

17. Remember pence..

[Laurian]

26. But such a Christian one!

These self righteous, lyin' Christians are beyond redemption.

[sarge43]

69. It takes a certain type of man

to be rejected by that many women in one day.

[frazzled]

18. It's an alternative fact!

[cyclonefence]

21. words fail me

this is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

[narnian60]

66. Perfection.

[ismnotwasm]

19. Good thing we took pictures--a sea of signs

Condemning Trump--what, were they undercover?

[liberal N proud]

20. They are not going to stop with their "alternative facts"

[LisaL]

22. I wish I was living in an alternative universe. This one sucks.

[mnhtnbb]

23. I hope the people in Trump's regime have a large budget for wardrobe

because their pants seem to be on fire constantly from all the lies.

[CottonBear]

24. You lie!

He's fucking insane.

Of course, the tRump voters will believe this lie.

[bullwinkle428]

25. This is why the impeachment of Trump won't really do jack shit for America.

[Mc Mike]

48. One step at a time.

[justiceischeap]

28. I can guess how they came to this conclusion: red hats

Some enterprising entrepreneurs were selling red hats with "WTF America" on them. A lot of people were sporting those.

[wishstar]

29. He is a lying con artist too-but sneakier and more insidious wolf in sheep's clothing

Maybe this blatant lie from him will open some eyes including with the media, that he is dishonest too. In the VP debate he deflected and would not answer truthfully when Kaine confronted him over Twitlers' hateful remarks.

Also, R's don't like that many marchers exhibited patriotism and support for friendly National Guard who were there and we know the Repubs like to think only they are true patriotic Americans.

[dalton99a]

30. Recent lies from Mike Pence:

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/mike-pence/statements/byruling/false/

"State Department officials actually directed contracts for the Haitian recovery after the earthquake to friends of the Clintons."

Says Donald Trump "hasn’t broken his promise" to release his tax returns.

"10 cents on the dollar from the Clinton Foundation goes to charitable causes."

"Donald Trump’s been completely consistent" about his plan for nonviolent undocumented immigrants.

Says Hillary Clinton "took 13 hours to send help to Americans under fire" during the terrorist attack in Benghazi.

"Anybody who is familiar with the historical data from the IRS knows that raising income tax rates will likely actually reduce federal revenues."

"Should Democrats get their way, every income tax bracket will increase on Jan. 1, 2011. Every single one."

"This administration and this Congress have been systematically cutting funding to border security since the Democrats took control."

The Democrats propose "a government-controlled health care plan that will deprive roughly 120 million Americans of their current health care coverage."

The stimulus has "$30 million in there to protect mice in San Francisco."

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. He's a bigger liar then tRump

[workinclasszero]

65. But..but...he goes to Church every Sunday!

[Baitball Blogger]

32. Eh, no.

Didn't the organizers omit anti-abortion organizations? I know a couple of my Facebook friends felt excluded. They didn't completely understand the political purpose behind the march. One even posted a meme "Let's be clear, this isn't all woman."

[Demsrule86]

42. No they did not exclude them.

They could march and a few did. However, they were not allowed to plan the march...and I tell you women who don't support choice regardless of how they feel about abortion do not belong at a woman's march. If I had my last miscarriage with the current laws, I would be dead. As it was the right to life docs in Georgia let me bleed out and I nearly died...waiting for hormonal proof I had miscarried even though the ultrasound clear showed I had. This is a healthcare issue...and women who don't support choice are not on our side.

[n2doc]

44. I personally think that this is why they wanted to march with the big protest

So that they could obfuscate the true size of their movement. And this is exactly what Pence is trying to do.

[Demsrule86]

93. That is exactly what they wanted.

I saw three. who shouted about save the babies but of course after they are born, let them die by denying health care..and they were shouted down...I saw no one that liked Trump based on signs or rhetoric.

[Freethinker65]

33. And "Periods FOR Pence" is nothing but supporters

[malaise]

34. Yep including all wearing pink hats

They live in an alternative universe - fucking LIARS.

[OilemFirchen]

35. OK. I buy it.

Looks like 1.5 million Trump supporters turned on him pretty fucking quickly.

Sad.

[Adrahil]

37. I was at the march in Indy.... his own state. Pence is a fucking liar.

When his name was mentioned, HUGE boos. Anti-Trump signs everywhere.

I did not see a single pro-Trump sign, shirt, whatever. Not one.

Fucking liars and the lies they tell!

[Denzil_DC]

39. LOL

That is all.

[Demsrule86]

40. That is hillarious.

There were many issues looking at the signs...but as far as I could see...everyone hated Trump with a passion. There were no Trump supporters.

[onethatcares]

41. he said they had pictures to prove it

but they were wiped off the shithouse website immediately after posting.

[bigtree]

43. you have to ask yourself

...who is really swayed by this nonsense of his.

There's a line which the Trump folks have crossed some time ago between opinion and reality. They really don't seem to recognize the difference.

[babylonsister]

47. I think it's the old rethug playbook in action:

repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth (to them). This is a biggie though; too many people know better.

[bigtree]

53. I think we might be at a point

...where actual truth out of their mouths would shock most folks.

I do think the right wing relies on that tactic for talking points, but their game is growing stale and predictable, more folks than ever calling them on it immediately.

[uponit7771]

107. +1

[Dem2]

46. Yes indeed, they are already having second thoughts

Thanks for acknowledging this Pence.

[spanone]

49. pence can claim all the shit he wants....

[crazycatlady]

50. hey Mikey

In NYC, one of the chants was 'Build a fence around Mike Pence"

I doubt they support you.

[cilla4progress]

51. This gets worse

Every day. Unbelievable

[Mc Mike]

52. Right, because so many pro-dRumpf orgs were involved in planning the march,

so many rally speakers made statements that backed drumpf's initiatives up. I was especially moved by the dRumpf inspired statements backing Black Lives Matters, Women's Rights, Moslem Rights, LGBTQIA Rights, Immigrant Rights, etc.

Pence is a bircher nazi weasel.

[JDC]

55. the ones that weren't paid and trucked in by Soros of course

[elehhhhna]

56. This is the North Korea level shit talk

I'm rather surprised that they're just lying their asses off and destroying their credibility so quickly. Shouldn't be , but I'm flabbergasted.

[MineralMan]

57. More 'Alternative Facts' from the Trump administration.

I suppose this is going to be routine. Something happens that everyone can see for themselves, and then The TA says the exact opposite of what is obviously true. Uff da!

[TNLib]

58. At our March I saw 1 Trump supporter

He was wearing a silly red baseball trump hat and screaming USA as he ran by the marchers. He looked like a cartoon character.
He was the only counter protester I saw. I was very worried about counter protest since I live in Southeast TN. Needless to say I shouldn't have worried.

[catbyte]

60. Stroking someone's ego, Pence? What a pathetic little man Drumpfelthinskin is.

I can't help but think how much it must suck to be him. Can you imagine? To have all that he has and it's still not enough. Like I said, how goddamn pathetic.

[workinclasszero]

61. Alternate facts again from the Ministry of Truth

[anniebelle]

63. Buyer's Remorse, Perhaps?

Where the hell do they get these "alternate facts"? This whole dRump fiasco is making my head swim.

[-Steph-]

64. Wow, seriously delusional. They're really going all out with their alternative facts.

[bucolic_frolic]

68. You mean they've turned against Trump?

Wouldn't doubt it if Mike says so.

[DemoTex]

72. The coin of the new realm?

It is called the Lie.

[Crunchy Frog]

74. They're adopting a strategy of complete rejection of empirical reality.

The're in the testing phase of seeing just how brazen they can be and get away with it.

An interesting social experiment, I guess.

[workinclasszero]

100. It worked for hate radio

YouTube is full of nazi/Hitler defenders that deny the Holocaust ever happened as well.

Now the lies are coming straight out of the Oval office and the halls of the Republican controlled Congress.

Are we f**ked or what?

[mountain grammy]

75. He's a lying sack of shit.

[bigbrother05]

76. Trump won white women, over half the crowd were white women,

therefore over half were Trump supporters!

Come on, thought liberals were supposed to understand logic and facts.

[Happyhippychick]

77. Yes because when a woman has a sign that says "this pussy grabs back" it's because she likes you.

Liar, liar, liar.

[Brother Buzz]

78. And 'over half' the people attending you shindig the previous day were Trump protesters

"There are three four kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, statistics, and alternative facts." - Mark Twain

[KingCharlemagne]

79. O. M. G. - nt

[Thekaspervote]

80. Okay, I'll buy that... DISGRUNTLED dump supporters!!

[C_U_L8R]

81. Among over 200,000 marchers in Boston

I only saw two. One was very nice and the other very nasty.

[appleannie1943]

82. Hey dimwit, if you are so great to women, why would your own supporters march denouncing you?

You are not only a liar, your lie does not make any sense. If you are going to lie, at least try something that is plausible.

[longship]

83. That's an alternative fact!!! nt

[IronLionZion]

84. Saturday's women's march was to welcome Trump Pence

since women love Trump and Pence so much it hurts, literally. That they flew and drove many miles to show their support.

The lackluster Friday activities with low turnout were the liberals and feminists being triggered from leaving their safe spaces.

The violence on Friday was also caused by liberal women and feminists masquerading as white male anarchists. Smashing windows and pulling bricks out of the sidewalk and throwing them is a long standing feminist tradition that comes from not spending enough time barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.



How's that for some alternate facts?

On a related note, we just had a dude at work go on paternity leave. Some of my coworkers are like WTF, what sort of man takes paternity leave. But I was like you go dude, be a dad!

[louis-t]

85. They counted?

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

[mommymarine2003]

87. Marched in LA - There were no Trump supporters

I marched in the LA March. I did not encounter any Trump people, not even along the parade route. Someone did fly over with a banner supporting Trump. This new administration spreads nothing but propaganda.

[herding cats]

88. This is the lie they're telling Trump to mollify him?

What a fragile little snowflake they've elected.

[Ccarmona]

90. They'll Say Anything!!

It's statistically impossible for Pence's statement to be true.
FACTS DONT MATTER ANYMORE.

[dhill926]

91. I see he's working on his lying skills...

in case he has to assume the office of potus....

[Gothmog]

92. Pence is a very stupid person

[wildeyed]

94. Link says article is no longer available.

Did the Ministry of Truth decide on new alternate facts today?

[saditurn]

95. True in spirit, but fake news

I had a friend who forwarded this on yesterday also and my knee jerk reaction was the same - but then I looked at the source Facebook account which was definitely fake (satire? malicious?).

Looks like it's gone today (it was like VPMikePence instead of just MikePence), and the article above has also been removed.

I'm sure there are people on the right will justify the marches to themselves this way (trumP easily would), but we need to be careful about what we chase after.

Pence, to his credit (and our discredit?) will be well-spoken and smooth, and his delusions will not be so obvious. Unfortunately.

[Vinca]

96. Apparently Mike didn't bother to read the signs.

[japple]

97. "Sorry, this article is no longer available" It appears that this article has been

scrubbed. Did anyone see the Pence fb post that "well over half" of the huge crowds out protesting Trump's inauguration during Saturday's Women's March in Washington were actually fans of the new president."

[LeftishBrit]

98. How would he know?

And anyway, if that many Trump voters had changed their minds in that short a space of time, all the better!!!

[Linc13]

101. Sure Mike.

And that dance party outside your house was all straight people.

[BlueMTexpat]

103. Pence, just Pence.

[Hestia]

104. Okay, let's say they did. All the women want to keep their rights as citizens, no matter who they

voted for. That you can't quibble about!

[caraher]

105. Bogus Pence page

Snopes says that account isn't Pence's

[japple]

106. That article has been scrubbed from the MSN

site.

[JI7]

108. i think they are trying to get trump to calm down

[oasis]

109. "Well over half" says the pasty faced Pomeranian.

Lying sack of shit.

[blue neen]

111. So, Pence proves that he, too, is crazy and delusional.

Just like the Groper in Chief.

[tandem5]

112. I don't think Pence or his staff said this. It was either a hoax or satire...

not that I would put it past them to attempt such a claim.

[Amaryllis]

113. PRoblem is every time they make one of these crazy statements, their base believes is and right wing

media repeats it as fact. This is how we get parallel universes that never intersect.
