Kaine called on trump to release tax information, claiming pence had to turn over his tax returns to trump before candidate. That statement cannot be the proven. On the subject of immigration, pence said the fbi cannot vet Syrian Refugees to prove theyre not terrorists. That statement was found misleading. Kaine called on bans for muslims entering the u. S. And talked about Vladimir Putin, say thinking called him a strong leader, a claim pence partially denied. That the small and bullying leader of russia stronger on the world stage than this administration, thats stating painful facts. Thats not an endorsement of Vladimir Putin but the weakened, feckless leadership of clinton and obama. We will go to the tape on it but governor pence said, inarguably, Vladimir Putin is a better leader than president that is absolutely in inaccurate. Reporter just to clarify, which he said putin is a strong leader in his country than obama has been in this country. To fact check what was said you can go to 9news. Com. Thanks, tarhonda.
