During a Labor Day campaign event, Vice President Mike Pence said the United States is respected by the rest of the world, again, under President Donald Trump.
The claim was in support of the MAGA President's run for re-election.
People, however, were quick to fact check his claim.

Pence stated during his speech:
"I can tell you that after traveling to more than 30 countries as your Vice President, America is respected in the world again."
Except it isn't. We can't even travel to Canada let alone Europe.

What world would that be?

Not the only untruth of the day, Pence also took time to accuse Presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden of:
"policies that have literally led to violence in our major American cities."
This was despite data and fact checkers showing violence was at the lowest level in decades prior to increases after the 2016 election.
and by respect, he means "not allowed to fly anywhere, having other countries protest our policing practices, and world leaders openly laughing at our president"

Contrary to the image Pence painted regarding America's current respectability, critics observed that the failed response to the 2020 pandemic by the Trump administration led to Americans not even being allowed in the majority of the world because of infection risk.
Newsflash @VP there are travel bans or severe restrictions for people from the US because of how badly you handle covid.

BREAKING: That Sturgis motorcycle event that should've never happened is now linked to an estimated 250,000 cases and it could cost us all up to $12 billion. Vote out Trump and every anti-mask, virus-loving lap dog Republican. This election, and the next. And the next. And so on.

The Twitter take down continued as users voiced how they really feel about the current administration.
“Over more than two centuries, the United States has stirred a very wide range of feelings in the rest of the world: love and hatred, fear and hope,envy and contempt,awe and anger. But there is one emotion that has never been directed towards the US until now: pity. “Irish Times

NOT TRUE!
We've alienated our Allies, Trump praises our Enemies & Dictators, we are the Laughing Stock around the World because of Trump.
People around the World hate us. pic.twitter.com/UXjQe34PIp

Twitter users continued to scorch the statements without holding back.
It's a good thing the Trump-Pence campaign have access to affordable healthcare.
They're going to need some burn treatments after this.
Mike has jokes, you guys pic.twitter.com/QxylXn4e8x

You have lost your mind.
You have made a complete fool of yourself.
Your willingness to say or do ANYTHING Donald Trump tells you is DISGUSTING.
Do you have any sense of self?
Do you have any self respect?
Seriously, you look RIDICULOUS. https://t.co/45aoxuZjfZ

Nah mate, we're weeping for the respected world leader you once were and praying you don't make the same mistake this year as you did in 2016. We were aghast when you elected Trump because of what he might do to your nation and our worst fears have been realised.

@VP This is what the world actually thinks. Stop lying. You'll have a lot of explaining to do if you make it as far as the pearly gates. pic.twitter.com/seamJznVRl

He's definitely in an alternate universe. The world is in shock at how we are handling literally everything

We hope everyone is staying safe and informed. Remember, utilizing fact checking resources is a great way to stop the spread of misinformation.
We hope Pence finds these resources soon.
