Pence spars with Biden over administration’s trade record

DURYEA (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is sparring with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden over the Trump administration’s trade record.

Pence visited a high-tech glass factory near Scranton on Monday and called on Democrats in Congress to allow a vote on a pending trade deal with Mexico and Canada. President Donald Trump is seeking to replace the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement.

Biden, who grew up in Scranton and will campaign there Tuesday and Wednesday, blasted Pence’s visit. He says in a statement that “Pennsylvanians will not be fooled by Pence’s blind promotion of Trump’s irresponsible trade wars.”

Pence responded that Pennsylvanians know the proposed U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement is a “winner” and that Biden should “get on board.” Pence also decried what he called the Democrats’ “endless investigations and partisan impeachment.”

Spar? How would anyone know?Pence was protected behind closed doors with a captive audience fearing for their jobs if they spoke their minds. Typical trump move. Kiss assed invited only!
CT your version is what dirty rotten commies do. In America political rallies are voluntary. Everyone that attends a Trump Rally or factory tour is there because they want to be there. You are warped in the head CT. You are the commie!
Joe Biden gets KO'd shadow boxing.
You can't "spar" with a man who vulnerably drops his guard, heck, he trips over his own two feet before the round even starts. Joe's mind is gone, and physical condition is worse than Hillary's I fear. We can't have that in the White House.
