If you don’t think the media uses the “truth” to smear politically unfavorable people, you don’t understand how the media works.

It is factual that Kiel Bros. Oil went bankrupt and state governments have had to pay for cleanup (mandated by government regulations). However, as other posters have pointed out, there is no mention of how much sales and property tax revenue the company generated over the years that went into state coffers. Furthermore there’s no mention of what role Mike Pence played in the operation of the company, which was founded in 1941. Pence wasn’t even born until 1959.

Articles like these are not designed to illuminate the truth. They are hit pieces designed to smear the target.

" Furthermore there’s no mention of what role Mike Pence played in the operation of the company, which was founded in 1941. Pence wasn’t even born until 1959." That's what makes this a hit piece. Got it. It felt funny when I read it.
