Mike Pence Loses It on CNN — Gets Angry Over Questions About Trump Accepting Q-Anon Movement

Mike Pence is not having a good week and seems to be in a bad mood that he’ll took out on CNN.

Pence had to have watched the Democrats pull off what many are describing as the most successful convention ever put together and must know that Biden hit the ball out of the park last night in his speech, looking calm, cool, ready to lead. Meanwhile, Pencey’s boss is panic-tweeting in all-caps about Obama and talking about needing an ID to get into a virtual convention. Pence also has to know that his own future is tied to whether Trump can steal the upcoming election. So it makes plenty of sense that Pence would be terrified and testy right now.

Speaking of testy, Pence got angry with CNN’s John Berman this morning upon being asked why Trump embraced the Q-Anon movement. Pence said, “You said he embraced that, I didn’t hear that. I heard the president talk about he appreciates those who support him.”

Berman asked, “Do you believe they love America?”

Pence then said he doesn’t know anything about the conspiracy theory, which led Berman to ask how it was that Pence didn’t know anything about the movement, given how much it has been in the news. Pence then said that though he had heard of it, he doesn’t know much about it because they dismiss conspiracy theories.  Later on in the interview Pence said that CNN was “chasing shiny objects” which led Berman to shout:

“This is not a shiny object!”

Good for Berman. This movement is dangerous. These are the types that shoot-up pizza places and possibly take to the streets. We have already seen one elected to Congress.

The Trumpers consistently utilize the same tactic. They won’t come right out and embrace a theory but they will never say a negative word about any Trump supporter. It is one of the most cult-like aspects of the MAGA movement. So long as someone supports Trump over Biden, it truly doesn’t matter what else that person supports. These people favor Putin over Democrats for the exact same reason, Putin supports Trump. It is a cult that is destroying our country.

Pence has no interest in calling it out. Watch:
