Mike Pence is fine -- and appearing on five TV news shows -- after runway scare


Gov. Mike Pence: It"s time for Republicans to come home

Running mates, particularly in this election, don"t get much attention. But when your plane skids off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York, as happened to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Thursday night, the TV news outlets come calling.

Pence on Friday got a lighter version of the"Full Ginsburg" treatment, so named for attorney William Ginsburg after he appeared on five major Sunday TV news shows to discuss his client, Monica Lewinsky, in the late1990s.

Pence appeared on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and Fox -- either in the studio or by phone.

"It was about 10 seconds of uncertainty," Pence told "CBS This Morning."

"[The plane] fishtailed a bit," Pence told ABC"s "Good Morning America", adding that his son, a Marine Corps aviator, likes to say that "every landing you walk away from is a good one."

"It seemed like the first responders were literally around the plane before we came to a rest," Pence told NBC"s"Today."

Pence was a game guest, modestly recounting the brief ordeal before touting Donald Trump"s presidential bid and deflecting controversial questions about voter fraud and violence.

He downplayed law enforcement concerns aboutpost-election violence on the CBS interview.

I really just don"t see it, Pence said.The people that are rallying around this team, rallying around our cause, love this country.

He said he trusts the voting process "very broadly"but pointed to "ample examples of fraud" before pivoting to a pitch for Trump.
