Gov. Mike Pence said Donald Trump was being "serious" when he spoke
this week about President Barack Obama being the "founder" of ISIS,
saying that the GOP nominee "getting people's attention."
Speaking
with "Fox News Sunday," Trump's running mate was asked to clear up
whether Trump was being sarcastic, as he tweeted on Friday, or being
serious, as he said multiple times throughout the week.
"I think he was being very
serious," Pence said. "He was making a point that needs to be made, that
there is no question that the failed policies of President Barack Obama
and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the wider Middle East,
created a vacuum within Iraq in which ISIS was able to arise."
Pence said Trump was making a "serious point" to call attention to the issue.
"Donald Trump has a way of talking to get people's attention, and it's drawn attention to a very important issue," Pence said.
Trump
ran through a series of comments during the week, repeatedly calling
Obama and Clinton the co-founders of ISIS, and declining opportunities
in interviews to say he was speaking metaphorically. He later said he
was sarcastic, but then also said he was being "not that sarcastic."
Fox's
Chris Wallace pressed Pence, asking if the "sarcastic excuse" is
"getting a bit old." He cited Trump's past comments inviting Russia to
access and release Clinton's emails, then later walking them back as a
joke.
"I don't think it's getting
old at all," Pence said. "Donald Trump made his way through a very
competitive primary because he spoke not like your typical politician,
but just plainly like and everyday American ... They're going to have a
president who tells them exactly what's on his mind, and the American
people are going to hear him, and hear him loud and clear."
