Mike Pence showed a very typical Washington D.C. reaction to the word “revolution” in a town hall event this week.

A woman in the audience mentioned the word revolution to Mike Pence — Donald Trump’s Republican vice presidential running mate. This word freaks people out in D.C. And you can understand why — it puts the French Revolution into politician’s minds.

How can we get the conservative message to millennials?

The D.C. blind spot is failing to realize that we are watching a revolution right now. We’re living through one. We are in the last throws of the most revolutionary administration in the history of American politics. It’s a “velvet revolution” but it’s a revolution nonetheless. And the left is gearing up for more and it could be even more authoritarian.

The government can now tell you what to buy, i.e. healthcare. Next the government will tell you what will be on your shopping list.

There is a revolution right now against the truth.

We live in a country of selective law enforcement and we’re living in a world where we don’t even know who our allies are anymore.

Mike Pence is so afraid of the word revolution, the French Revolution, that he can’t even see the revolution that has gone on before us for the last eight years.

Do we want the Leftist Revolution or do we want a Populist Revolution?

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
