SHOT:  Mike Pence declines to say whether David Duke is ‘deplorable’ because he ‘is not in the name-calling business’ [Washington Post]

Asked if Duke is “deplorable,” Pence said, “I’m not in the name-calling business.”

CHASER: Erik Paulsen: “I don’t think any candidate necessarily has to be in a position denouncing anybody running for president.”

Paulsen: “Donald Trump has not earned my vote. The candidate I endorsed is not on the ballot this fall… And I don’t think any candidate necessarily has to be in the position of denouncing anyone running for president.”
