“I don’t think name calling has any place in public life,” the GOP's vice presidential nominee said Friday of Obama’s speech on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”

“I thought that was unfortunate that the president of the United States would use a term like that, let alone laced into a sentence like that,” Pence added. "But I just don’t see it.”

Obama on late Wednesday listed ideologies incompatible with the U.S. while criticizing Trump’s White House run.

“That’s why anyone who threatens our values, whether fascists or communists or jihadists or homegrown demagogues, will always fail in the end,” he said in Philadelphia.

Pence on Friday said Obama and Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, share the same confusion over America’s global role.

“It’s just that they don’t understand America’s place in the world. They don’t understand the obligations we have as the arsenal of democracy. And they frankly don’t understand the importance of unambiguous American leadership on the world stage.”

Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, has repeatedly called Clinton “Crooked Hillary” or “Hillary Rotten Clinton” on the campaign trail.
