Trump on Pence, Clinton, and Iraq

From the 60 Minutes interview last night:

LESLEY STAHL: But we did go to war, if you remember. We went to Iraq.

DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, you went to Iraq, but that was handled so badly. And that was a war– by the way, that was a war that we shouldn’t have entered because Iraq did not knock down—excuse me
(OVERTALK)

LESLEY STAHL: Your running mate–
(OVERTALK)

DONALD TRUMP: Iraq did not–
(OVERTALK)

LESLEY STAHL: voted for it

DONALD TRUMP: I don’t care.

LESLEY STAHL: What do you mean you don’t care that he voted for?

DONALD TRUMP: It’s a long time ago. And he voted that way and they were also misled. A lot of information was given to people

(OVERTALK)
LESLEY STAHL: But you’ve harped on this.

DONALD TRUMP: But I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning

LESLEY STAHL: Yeah, but you’ve used that vote– of Hillary’s that was the same as—Governor Pence
(OVERTALK)

LESLEY STAHL: –as the example of her bad judgment.
(OVERTALK)

DONALD TRUMP: Many people have, and frankly, I’m one of the few that was right on Iraq.

LESLEY STAHL: Yeah, but what about he –(OVERTALK)?

DONALD TRUMP: He’s entitled to make a mistake every once in a (LAUGH) while.

LESLEY STAHL: But she’s not? Okay, come on–
(OVERTALK)

DONALD TRUMP: But she’s not–

LESLEY STAHL: She’s not?

DONALD TRUMP: No. She’s not.

LESLEY STAHL: Got it.

For the record, there is no evidence that Trump opposed the Iraq war “from the beginning.”
