But Pence took this effusiveness to new heights (or more accurately new depths) yesterday when during an appearance on CBS' Face the Nation he actually compared Trump to Martin Luther King, Jr.:
One of my favorite quotes from Dr. King was, ‘Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.’ You think of how he changed America. He inspired us to change through the legislative process to become a more perfect union. That’s exactly what President Trump is calling on the Congress to do.
Come to the table in a spirit of good faith. We’ll secure our border, we’ll reopen the government and we’ll move our nation forward as the president said yesterday to an even broader discussion about immigration reform in the months ahead.
Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the slain civil rights leader, rebuked Pence characterizing his father as "a bridge builder, not a wall builder."
Let's put it another way. MLK, Jr. wanted an America that judged people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Let us just say that the content of President Trump's character is sorely lacking. As for Pence, he is surely not a good judge of character.
