Pence: I’m “Profoundly Disappointed” In GOP Platform

Politico reports:

Former Vice President Mike Pence slammed the updated Republican National Committee platform Tuesday after GOP leaders abandoned explicitly endorsing a national abortion ban.

“The RNC platform is a profound disappointment to the millions of pro-life Republicans that have always looked to the Republican Party to stand for life,” Pence said in a statement through his advocacy group Advancing American Freedom.

Pence took aim at Trump’s leave-it-to-the-states abortion stance in the statement Tuesday — without mentioning him directly — saying that “the right to life is not only a state issue; it is a moral issue, and our party must continue to speak with moral clarity and compassion.”

It’s ‘award for outstanding achievement in the field of excellence’ level of stupid. pic.twitter.com/NR2QILYj66
