Mike Pence's Freudian Slip

Appearing on Greta Van Susteren's On the Record, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) made a classic Freudian slip when Van Susteren asked if he was trying to checkmate the Democrats on the government shut-down over Planned Parenthood.

Looking a little flustered, Pence responded:

"I don't know if we're checkmating them. Look, we're trying to score a victory for the Republican people [...] for the American people, not for the Republican party."

Uh-huh.
