Or, in other words, if you can’t trust Mike Pence to be accurate (or honest) about what Thomas Jefferson said when using a (fake) quote to support his argument, how can you trust anything he says?
Quotation collection is a hobby of mine. Verifying that quote would have taken him or his handlers fifteen seconds on Google. If they had actually been interesting in verifying it.
So when he goes on to say that (a) state governors will be more responsive to the political desires of their constituents (says a horribly unpopular former governor) than their local US Representative, or (b) oh, yes, of course, Graham-Cassidy will protect all those people with pre-existing conditions from skyrocketing premiums and deductibles and caps, you can be sure he put just as much thought and effort into verifying that’s true as well.

Unable to defend Graham-Cassidy, Pence made stuff up.
