Pence slams Buzzfeed 'obsession,' decries 'disappointing' Pelosi rejection of Trump border funding compromise
Vice President Mike Pence, speaking to "Fox News Sunday," said Republicans "of course" remain willing to negotiate further on the border funding compromise proposed by President Trump on Saturday, even as Pence charged that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has committed to a "disappointing" strategy of "soundbites" for nearly a month.
Pence's comments came as Fox News has learned that Senate Republicans were scrambling on Saturday evening and Sunday morning to put together a bill tracking Trump's proposal to end the ongoing partial federal government shutdown. Democratic leaders, including Pelosi, preemptively rejected Trump's proposal before he formally announced it.
Pence also took aim at an explosive, discredited Buzzfeed News report implicating Trump in a scheme to lie to Congress – and the breathless media coverage that followed it for nearly 24 hours, until Special Counsel Robert Mueller issued his first public statement in more than a year to repudiate it.
Decrying the "obsession of many in the national media to attack this president for any reason, for any allegation," Pence asserted that the problem was bigger than Buzzfeed.
"It was remarkable what we saw happening for 24 hours in the media, on the basis of the report that appeared in Buzzfeed," Pence said. "It's one of the reasons why people are so frustrated with many in the national media."
But, speaking later to "Fox News Sunday," South Carolina Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn defended Democrats' response to the Buzzfeed report.
"I don’t think that my Democratic friends are in any way rushing to judgment because they qualified right up front [by saying], 'If this is true,'" Clyburn argued. "When you preface your statement with 'If this is true,' that, to me, gives you all the cover you need."
Despite the brouhaha, Pence said, the White House remains focused on ending the ongoing partial federal government shutdown, now entering its 30th day.
"There's a legislative process that is going to begin on Tuesday in the United States Senate" to craft a bill implementing Trump's proposal, Pence told anchor Chris Wallace.
What Trump offered on Wednesday is not necessarily Trump's final offer, Pence said.
"It was disappointing to see Speaker Pelosi reject the offer before the president gave his speech" on Saturday," Pence said. "The president is offering a solution. And what we have from Democrats' leadership is just soundbites."
The text of a bill – which is slated to include protections for 700,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, $5.7 billion Trump has been seeking for a barrier along the nation's southern border with Mexico, and extended protections for 300,000 recipients of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program – should be ready on Monday, Fox News has learned.
