No big dealyo! After all, #IOKIYAR*:

During an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Pence was asked about allegations that Trump’s meetings with business leaders from nations like India could constitute “the Clinton Foundation on steroids.” His response was to quote a line he heard from Trump on the same subject: “Who cares?”

After Pence reassured viewers that “the best legal minds in the country” were involved in the transition process, Wallace pointed out that this is “not just a legal question,” but one that speaks to the ethical character of the president-elect, particularly given reports that his children (who are still in charge of his business empire) will also act as advisers to the new administration.

“Well, I can tell you, in a recent interview after the election, the president-elect summed up his view of his interest in his business life with two words. He said, ‘Who cares?’” Pence replied to Wallace.

“And I can tell you, sitting shoulder to shoulder with him through these interviews, watching him talk to world leaders on the phone, one after another, from hours after the election, the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, is completely focused on the people’s business,” Pence added. “And I promise you, and I can assure the public that they’ll have the proper separation from their business enterprise.”

    Taxpayers care. If you don’t care then maybe the taxpayers should just quit paying their taxes … because who cares … the orange man is breaking the government. Revolution I hear you calling.

      If massive demonstrations come at the inauguration then many people may be hurt or killed. Comey’s FBI, the SS, and the military might all be involved in stopping or crushing the rebellion. Regardless…we must continue to fight…

    Democrat? Republican? American patriot?
    Nah, Donnie’s only allegiance is to his own financial portfolio.

    And the GOP is perfectly fine with that.

    ” Who cares?” “What the hell do you have to lose?” “What? Me worry?”

    Who cares is the perfect answer to show how concerned they are about the well being of the country. Democrats had better have the undeniable documented facts ready and at hand to show exactly ‘who cares’….

    Sure, it’s Snoop reacting to Kanye, but it sums up my reaction to Pence speaking,as well.
