Journalists are calling out Indiana Gov. Mike Pence for repeatedly lying at tonight's vice presidential debate about things his running mate Donald Trump has said and done:
There's no doubt that Pence is a great performer. But for 90 minutes, he lied about everything his running mate said.

Pence's entire #VPDebate strategy consists of denying everything Trump has ever said or done

Kaine is scoring now on nuclear proliferation, Russia and taxes. Pence keeps denying Trump said things that he did indeed say.

Then Pence falsely denies that Trump said more countries should get nukes. From start to finish, this is the Denying Plain Facts campaign.

Pence's strategy seems to be either ignoring or denying things that Trump has said, regardless of all evidence to the contrary.

Is Mike Pence actually denying the fact that Donald Trump insults people?
— Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) October 5, 2016
I get that a brazen disregard for facts is not new in this campaign, but Mike Pence just denied that this really proveable thing happened pic.twitter.com/BypIaPoyt1

Trump honestly should have just done what Pence is doing: denied ever saying the things he said.

Pence is denying he said Putin is a stronger leader than Obama. But...he said it. Trump did too. Trump said it first.

Pence denies that Trump didn't know Russia invaded Ukraine. Here's the clip: https://t.co/KJHBIof2Dl

Pence denied that Trump called NATO obsolete. FACTCHECK: “I think NATO is obsolete,” Trump told ABC News in March. #VPDebate

.@Mike_Pence denies he said Putin was inarguably stronger leader than Obama. He did. https://t.co/lreZp0Fa61

It is wild to watch Pence just simply deny that Trump said the things he said.
— Jamelle Bouie (@jbouie) October 5, 2016
Ah, Pence must've remembered it's his job to deny that Trump said things he said in front of countless cameras. #VPDebate

Pence's strategy tonight: denying things Trump has most certainly said, i.e. praising Putin, Muslim ban https://t.co/cRlCkLUHfy
— Marina Fang (@marinafang) October 5, 2016
Pence is basically just denying that Trump has said or supported everything Trump has said and supported. #VPDebate
