Pence and Priebus both said it was "possible" that Trump was right. Pence said Trump  has a "right to express his opinion" and it's "refreshing" that he can speak from his mind. When asked what was refreshing about making false statements, Pence responded "I don't know that is a false statement and neither do you". 

Priebus said that he doesn't know "if it's not true" and that there are estimates all over the map and no one really knows. When asked if a President can just offer theories with no evidence, Priebus says that Trump is doing a great job at pushing the envelope to make people think and not accept conventional thought. 

The common defense has been "Prove it's not true".
