CBS: Pence ‘Looked Like Elf on the Shelf’ at White House Meeting

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning on Wednesday mocked Mike Pence's silence during a White House meeting with Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Co-host Norah O’Donnell derided the Vice President as looking like an “Elf on the Shelf sitting there.” After playing video of Trump arguing with Pelosi and Schumer, O’Donnell took the Democrats side in a potential shutdown fight: “Just a reminder, the President controls —  and his party controls —  Congress, it's all Republican-controlled at this current point.” Co-host John Dickerson agreed: “Right. They could solve this shutdown thing pretty quickly.”
