Vice President Mike Pence assured the American people Monday that they have a President who will always “defend” the police; saying law enforcement agents represent the “best” of the country.
“This administration, we’re going to defend the police. We’re going to back the blue. We understand that while tragedies happen… you have a President who knows that most of the men and women who put on the uniform are the best people in this country,” said the Vice President.
“They make a difference in our communities just like they’ve made a difference in all of our lives,” he added.
