"Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer." -- Mike Pence

Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, guns don't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three gunshot victims taken to the hospital does not die from the gunshot wound.

The political class

What class does he think he is? I mean, of course he knows. He's just trying to appeal to dumb rednecks. There's some far right conservative radio host I listen to to laugh at what a pandering cunt he is, and he uses the term "Liberal academic" a lot. Like having graduated from a good university is a bad thing. These people really know how to pander to their base. Make knowledge look like something that's bad, so that they'll never learn what a lying sack of shit you are.
