Pence denies he's part of an 'insult-driven' campaign, Trump tweets insults
During the spirited vice presidential debate Tuesday, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine brought up what he said was Donald Trump's "insult-driven" campaign.
Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, fiercely denied this claim. Trump, meanwhile, proved him wrong on Twitter.

Kaine bought up a litany of the insults that Trump has lobbed against minorities, women and others. Pence quickly said that it was, in fact, Hillary Clinton's campaign that was insult-driven.
Around the time that Pence refuted the idea that the Republicans were running a campaign of insults, Trump, who announced he would live tweet the debate earlier in the day, began posting insults.

Though the insults were retweets from other Twitter users, Trump still shared them to his millions of followers.
He began by saying Kaine looks like a fool.
"@elisac006: @nycmia @realDonaldTrump I agree. Kaine looks like a fool!!"

And moved on to something more pointed and sophomoric.
"@Jnelson52722: @realDonaldTrump @Susiesentinel Kaine looks like an evil crook out of the Batman movies"

The slights did not go unnoticed by the opposing camp — Clinton's Twitter account was quick to react.
Yes, Trump and Pence are running an insult-driven campaign.
Donald's literally doing it right now. #VPDebatehttps://t.co/VZeBQ85nyH— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 5, 2016
