Kaine: An African american police officer shooting down an African american man is an example of implicit bias
Pence: Did you just say that an African american police officer shooting down an African american man is an example of implicit bias?
Moderator(Cuts Pence): Moving on....
Kaine: The FBI concluded that not one reasonable prosecutor would take any additional steps. You don't get to decide the rights and wrongs of this. We have a justice system to do that
Pence: Senator, if your son or my son handled classified information the way Hillary Clinton did they'd be court martialed
Kaine: That is absolutely false and you know that.
Pence: Absolutely true.
Kaine: And you know that, Governor.
Moderator: Governor...
Pence: It's absolutely true.
Moderator: Gentlemen, please.
Kaine: Because the FBI did an investigation.
Moderator: Gentlemen.
Kaine: And they concluded that there was no reasonable prosecutor who would take it further. Sorry.
Moderator: Senator Kaine, Governor Pence, please.
Kaine: Syria.
Moderator: I want to turn now to Syria...
So she essentially let Kaine reiterate himself thrice without even answering Pence's question and she cuts off Pence before he replies?
Moderator (on Syria): Senator Kaine?
Kaine: The Trump campaign management team had to be fired a month or so ago because of those shadowy connections with pro-Putin forces. Governor Pence made the odd claim, he said inarguably Vladimir Putin is a better leader than President Obama. Vladimir Putin has run his economy into the ground. He persecutes LGBT folks and journalists. If you don't know the difference between dictatorship and leadership, then you got to go back to a fifth-grade civics class.
Kaine: Governor Pence just said - Governor Pence just said that Donald Trump will rebuild the military. No, he won't. Donald Trump is avoiding paying taxes. The New York Times story - and we need to get this - but the New York Times suggested that he probably didn't pay taxes for about 18 years starting in 1995. Those years included the years of 9/11.
It took him less than a minute to forget the question
Moderator: Governor Pence, you had mentioned no-fly zone. Where would you propose setting up a safe zone specifically? How would you keep it safe?
Pence: Well, first and foremost, Donald Trump supports our troops. Donald Trump supports our veterans.
Kaine: He won't pay taxes.
Pence: Donald Trump has paid all the taxes that he's -- do you not take deductions? How does that work?
So on a question about Syria, Kaine brings up the most relevant thing he could have thought about
Kaine(continues blatantly yelling): It is about our troops! It is about our troops! How can you support the troops if you won't pay taxes?
Pence: I understand why you want to change the subject. And let me be very clear on this Russian thing. The larger question here...
Kaine: Do you think Donald Trump is smart to not pay taxes?
Because Kaine thinks this somehow relates to Syria
Note, that this was inspite of the fact that taxes had been brought up earlier on in the debates
Kaine(On Russia): Now, this could be solved if Donald Trump would be willing to release his tax returns, as he told the American public that he would do. And I know he's laughing at this, but every president...
Pence: But what's it got to do with Russia?
Kaine's reasoning just blew me off
Every president since Richard Nixon has done it
That reasoning is just...
Also, let's look at how Kaine can't even asnwer a simple question
When asked about DPRK, this was his reply -
Kaine: I'm going to talk about the foundation, and then I'll talk about North Korea. So, on the foundation. I am glad to talk about the foundation. The Clinton Foundation is one of the highest- rated charities in the world. It provides AIDS drugs to about 11.5 million people. It helps Americans deal with opioid overdoses. It gets higher rankings for its charity than the American Red Cross does. The Clinton foundation does an awful lot of good work.
Hillary Clinton as secretary of state took no action to benefit the foundation. The State Department did an investigation, and they concluded that everything Hillary Clinton did as secretary of state was completely in the interest of the United States. So the foundation does good work. And Hillary Clinton as secretary of state acted in the interests of the United States.
But let's compare this now with the Trump organization and the Trump Foundation. The Trump organization is an octopus-like organization with tentacles all over the world whose conflict of interests could only be known if Donald Trump would release his tax returns. He's refused to do it.
Let alone the fact that it didn't answer any question, it was also full of bull crap which Pence broke down quite well. Here was his reply
Pence: Well, Thank you. Thank you. The Trump Foundation is a private family foundation. They give virtually every cent in the Trump Foundation to charitable causes. Less than ten cents on the dollar in the Clinton Foundation has gone to charitable causes. It has been a platform for the Clintons to travel the world, to have staff. But honestly, Senator, we would know a lot more about it if Hillary Clinton would just turn over the 33,000 e-mails...that she refused to turn over in her private server...and we'd have a much better picture of what the Clinton Foundation was about.
Moving on, Kaine kept bringing up the bullshit claim of Donald Trump calling Mexicans rapists and criminals
Pence countered it, but Kaine couldn't go 2 seconds before interrupting with unnecessary statements
Here's the full transcript of that moment:
Pence: Senator, you've whipped out that Mexican thing again. He -- look...
Kaine: Can you defend it?
Pence: There are criminal aliens in this country, Tim, who have come into this country illegally who are perpetrating violence and taking American lives.
Kaine: You want to -- you want to use a big broad brush against Mexicans on that?
Pence: He also said and many of them are good people. You keep leaving that out of your quote. And if you want me to go there, I'll go there.
Kaine didn't ask Pence to go back there after this exchange
