Fake news, for all the controversy it has engendered in this country, is unfortunately still alive and rampant. Earlier today, the New York Times released a written piece in which they strongly imply that Vice President Pence is planning a 2020 run for President. Upon learning of such false reports, the Vice President promptly denied such claims and released a censuring, public statement in response:

“The American people know that I could not be more honored to be working side by side with a President who is making America great again. Whatever fake news may come our way, my entire team will continue to focus all our efforts to advance the President’s agenda and see him re-elected in 2020. Any suggestion otherwise is both laughable and absurd.”

The New York Times ought to be ashamed of themselves. The publication of such misleading, dishonest press is classless and unprofessional. In their piece, they baselessly claim that Vice President Pence is “creating an independent power base” and essentially using President Trump as a platform to help further his own political career. They go on to mention the Vice President’s appointment of Nick Ayers and question whether or not he is caving to the establishment wing of the Republican Party who may or may not want to see him run for President in 2020.
