11-year-old boy grills Pence on Trump’s rhetoric
Mike Pence comes under harsh questioning at a campaign event. His interrogator: an 11-year old.
At a town hall Thursday in Raleigh, North Carolina, Pence, Donald Trump’s running mate, takes a question from a boy who identified himself as 11-year old Matthew.
Matthew says Pence has been “softening up on Mr. Trump’s policies and words” and questions whether that would be his role in a Trump administration. That prompts an outburst of laughter from the crowd and leads Pence to predict that Matthew will be governor of North Carolina someday.
Apparently alluding to controversial comments by Trump, Pence says, “sometimes things don’t always come out like you mean.”
Pence adds that he and Trump “have different styles — you might have noticed that.”
