Mike Pence Was Just Asked About Donald Trump's Claim That Previous Presidents Told Him They Should Have Built a Wall, and It Got So Awkward

Riiight.

Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday struggled to defend President Donald Trump's claims that all former presidents have expressed support for the construction of a border wall.

“This should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me, and they all know it,” Trump boasted during a news conference without providing evidence. “Some of them have told me that we should have done it.”


On Today, Pence said Trump was referring to "border security" after NBC's Hallie Jackson told Pence that "all the representatives" of previous presidents "have denied that is the case."

And Pence tried to defend Trump's indefensible lie.

“I know the president has said that that was his impression from previous administrations, previous presidents,” Pence said. “I know I’ve seen clips of previous presidents talking about the importance of border security, the importance of addressing the issue of illegal immigration.”

Watch the awkward exchange below:

While border security has been an important issue throughout many administrations, all four living former commanders-in-chief have denied ever speaking to Trump about a border wall.

Many believe that Pence is just lying—as is the expectation of the current administration.

Some are disappointed that the media lets Trump and Pence lie with impunity.

If their mouths are moving...

Following his interview with Jackson, Pence was asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl: “How can the president be, how can his word be trusted on this, when he has said so many things that are just not true about this crisis?”

Pence scoffed, falsely claiming that “the American people aren’t as concerned about the political debate.”

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
