FARMVILLE, Va. -- Some Mexican-Americans are taking issue with Republican Mike Pence brushing off GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's comments on Mexican immigrants as "that Mexican thing."
Pence chided Democrat Tim Kaine's repeated mention of Trump's comments on immigrants during Tuesday night's vice-presidential debate, telling him at one point: "Senator, you've whipped out that Mexican thing again."
