Trump fine with Pence having voted for Iraq war, but blasts Clinton for it
One thing that came out of the “60 Minutes” interview with Mike Pence and The Donald is the hypocrisy of not caring about Pence’s vote for the Iraq war, but not that of Hillary Clinton. He slithered through the questioning of Lesley Stahl.
STAHL: What do you mean you don’t care that he voted for?
TRUMP: It’s a long time ago. And he voted that way and they were also misled. A lot of information was given to people…
STAHL: But you’ve harped on this.
TRUMP: But I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning.
STAHL: Yeah, but you’ve used that vote of Hillary’s that was the same as Governor Pence as the example of her bad judgment.
TRUMP: Many people have, and frankly, I’m one of the few that was right on Iraq…
STAHL: Yeah, but what about he —?
TRUMP: He’s entitled to make a mistake every once in a while.
STAHL: But she’s not? Okay, come on—
TRUMP: But she’s not—
STAHL: She’s not?
TRUMP: No. She’s not.
There is, however, no record of Trump being against the Iraq war, but there is one of him weakly supporting it when questioned by Howard Stern.
