I doubt that DTJr's position is Halakhically correct, but I admire his courage. It's more than most conservatives have these days.
As I understand it, Mr. Trump's position is that Mr. Rippon would have been better off being silent, and that Mr. Rippon rather than Mr. Pence is the source of such "conflict" as there is.
What is the Halakhically correct thing for the situation, in your opinion. (I'm honestly curious, because it seems to me that, like the stopped clock in the aphorism, Mr. Trump is right.)
