Milbank is starting to appear as another barking Clintonite. "Pence allowed that the white nationalist is a “bad man” whose support “we do not want.” But, he repeated, “I’m not in the name-calling business,” he said, because “civility is essential” and “I’m also not going to validate the language that Hillary Clinton used.”

My guess would be if Milbank wants to talk about "deplorable situations". Maybe he had better first take a look at the recent D.C. Leaked e-mails where Hillary and her family members openly hate Obama. Then maybe closely examine the DNC Wiki Leaks e-mails.
