Mike Pence calls his wife 'mother' -- and just referred to Trump as 'my father'

I love their blunders, no matter how small.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/mike-pence-calls-his-wife-mother-and-just-referred-to-trump-as-my-father/

Mike Pence raised eyebrows on Friday when he sent a campaign message referring to President Donald Trump as “my father.”

“We need you right now,” Pence wrote in a campaign ad. “It’s going to take EVERY Patriot stepping up if we want to CRUSH Sleepy Joe’s dreams of turning America into a BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALIST Nation.”

“I convinced my father to give you another chance, which is why he’s decided to EXTEND your PERSONAL 500%-MATCH OFFER FOR 1 MORE HOUR,” Pence wrote.

If one of Trump's children "convinced their father", then Pence didn't. They are lying if they put out a begging letter saying this is what Pence did.

OK, we'll take that - not an appalling Freudian slip, just lying to their potential supporters.

without editing from one of Trump's sons. Maybe it was going to go out with a son's name on it instead. Or maybe they're insidiously conflating Trump with God the Father in people's minds. It would merely be a continuation of Trump as God's Chosen One.

Whatever, I'm a liberal Democrat, and the president is supposed to serve me, not vice versa. To me the whole tone is offensive and revealing. Persuaded to give me "another chance," huh? What?
I'm saved if I sent money, but damned to Trump Hell if I don't?

Everyone has cut and pasted and left a wrong word in.

The noteworthy part of this solicitation is “I convinced [Trump] to give you another chance ... “ and “he decided to extend your ... offer ...”

This says a lot about what the campaign understands the cult mindset to be.

it isn't too far fetched that he might be the result of inbreeding. Some people are saying, anyway.
