New York (CNN)Throughout his presidential campaign Donald Trump has relentlessly criticized Hillary Clinton's vote to authorize the Iraq War.
But confronted with his newly-tapped running mate's own "yes" vote in 2002, the presumptive Republican nominee offered a very different response.
"I don't care," Trump said on CBS's "60 Minutes" in his first joint interview with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, whom Trump announced Friday will join him on the Republican ticket.
Trump has repeatedly castigated Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, for voting in 2002 to authorize military force in Iraq. He has portrayed the then-New York senator's decision as evidence that she has "horribly bad judgment" and isn't fit to be president.
But Trump didn't shy away from the double standard in his response to Clinton's vote versus Pence's.
"He's entitled to make a mistake every once in a while," Trump said of Pence, who was a congressman from Indiana at the time.
"But she's not?" CBS interviewer Lesley Stahl pressed.
"No. She's not," Trump replied.
