Mike Pence Attacked Slamming Trump for Destroying “America’s Golden Age” — Wins Liberal Courage Award

/6 Comments/in , /by

. . .Pence is trending again today for his strident criticism of Trump’s second term economic actions, attacking the President’s “liberation day” tariffs as part of an agenda that is “spoiling America’s Golden Age.” Pence is again being praised by Democrats for his courage and iconoclasm amidst the MAGA policy deluge.

Pence derided the tariffs as “the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history.” He simultaneously sought to separate them from the smaller tariffs he supported during Trump 1.0, saying: “These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year.”

Yet in response, Pence is being subjected to evidence of his long history as a Trump partner and enabler. Multiple commenters — from both sides of the aisle — are noting that Pence once supported Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, making his current stance self-serving and hypocritical.

Popular conservative social media account MAZE noted that Pence “literally spent a year going around the country arguing in favor of Trump’s tariff policies” — and shared video below showing Pence in action.

Mike Pence Stokes Backlash for Calling Pope Francis ‘Holy Father,’ Posting Anti-Trump Op-Ed

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Vice President Mike Pence drew criticism over the weekend for a Friday X post in which he referred to Pope Francis as “the Holy Father,” prompting some to accuse him of affirming Roman Catholicism despite being an outspoken Evangelical Protestant.

“One of my greatest honors as Vice President was the hour I spent with Pope Francis at the Vatican in January 2020,” Pence tweeted. “[Karen Pence] and I join Catholics around the world Praying for this humble and godly man. God Bless the Holy Father.” . .

Pence was raised Roman Catholic but later left the Catholic Church to become an Evangelical when he was in college, according to a profile in The New York Times. . .

“‘Holy Father’?? Remember when the evangelical establishment chided us all about not giving the seriousness of Pence’s Protestant faith due respect…,” tweeted author and Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham.

Pence’s papal tweet came the same day he drew backlash for tweeting an op-ed by the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal titled “Putin Wins the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office Spectacle.” (Read more from “Mike Pence Stokes Backlash for Calling Pope Francis ‘Holy Father,’ Posting Anti-Trump Op-Ed” HERE)

Brutal Moment Karen Pence Snubbed Mike’s Kiss on Election Night With Six-Word Statement

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Karen Pence, wife to former Vice President Mike Pence, reportedly refused to kiss her husband when the winning ballot was read, announcing Donald Trump as the next President.

In Michael Lewis’ new book about the 2016 election, the author explained that Pence leaned in for a kiss, and Karen refused to kiss him back, turning away from him. “You got what you wanted, Mike,” she said, according to Lewis, adding another curt retort, “Now leave me alone.”

According to Lewis, the campaign team was in complete shock on election night when Trump secured Pennsylvania, Karen included.

“She wouldn’t so much as say hello to Trump. Trump himself just stared at the TV without saying anything, like a man with a pair of twos whose bluff has been called. His campaign hadn’t even bothered to prepare an acceptance speech,” Lewis wrote.

Although Karen did not show affection toward her husband in that moment, she supported him throughout the race. “I would characterize her as the silent, omnipresent partner. You knew she was there, you knew there was some considerable influence she wielded, but, boy, she was not public about it,” Brian Howey, the publisher of a political newsletter, told the Washington Post.

Former Vice President Mike Pence Says He’s Not Endorsing Trump

/6 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he will not be backing Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence said in an interview with Fox News Channel Friday, weighing in for the first time since the former president became the presumptive GOP nominee. Pence ran against Trump for their party’s nomination but dropped his bid before voting began last year.

The decision makes Pence the latest in a series of senior Trump administration officials who have declined to endorse their former boss’s bid to return to the Oval Office. While Republican members of Congress and other GOP officials have largely rallied behind Trump, a vocal minority has continued to oppose his bid.

It also marks the end of a metamorphosis for Pence, who had long been seen as one of Trump‘s most loyal defenders but broke with his two-time running mate by refusing to go along with Trump‘s unconstitutional scheme to try to remain in power after losing the 2020 election. When Trump‘s supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, trying to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s win, Pence was forced to flee to a Senate loading dock as rioters chanted, “Hang Mike Pence!” outside.

‘No Doubt’ U.S. Will Go to War With Russia if Ukraine Falls, Pence Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Providing Ukraine with the military support needed to turn back the Russian invasion is crucial if the U.S. wants to avoid going to war against Russia, former vice president and current presidential hopeful Mike Pence says.

Pence, speaking on the Hugh Hewitt Show, said Russia’s military operation in Ukraine “is not just warfare. It’s evil,” adding that he believes Russian leader Vladimir Putin is facing sharp divisions inside Russia. Pence promised that, if elected, he would ensure Ukraine received whatever aid was required to win.

“I have no doubt that if Vladimir Putin overran Ukraine, it would not be too long, Hugh, before the Russian military crossed a border where we would have to send our fighting men and women to fight against them,” Pence said. He said he was a supporter of Ronald Reagan’s doctrine that “if you’re willing to fight the enemies of the United States on your soil, we’ll give you the means to fight them there so our men and women in uniform don’t have to fight them.” (Read more from “‘No Doubt’ U.S. Will Go to War With Russia if Ukraine Falls, Pence Says” HERE)

Clay Travis Calls Out ‘Disrespectful’ Mike Pence During Tense Interview When Asked About Pardoning Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Conservative radio host Clay Travis called former Vice President Mike Pence “pretty disrespectful” to his old boss in a tense interview Wednesday about whether the Republican presidential candidate would pardon Donald Trump if elected president.

Travis, who along with co-host Buck Sexton has said the federal prosecution of Trump for mishandling classified documents is politicized, challenged Pence to directly answer if he would pardon Trump as a matter of principle.

“These are serious charges,” Pence said. “I can’t defend what’s been alleged, but the president does deserve to make his defense.”

Pence said the pardoning authority is an “enormously important” power for someone in an executive position, calling the idea of a pardon premature, but the founder of “OutKick” wasn’t pleased.

“I think as a matter of principle, if you believe… Donald Trump is being prosecuted to a large extent for political-based reasons, something that has never happened in the 240-plus year history of the United States, that we are setting an awful precedent here,” Travis said.

Pence Testifies for 7 Hours Before Jan. 6 Grand Jury After Trump’s Bid to Block Him Fails

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared for seven hours before a federal grand jury investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot Thursday — one day after a federal appeals court rejected a bid by former President Donald Trump to block him from doing so.

A three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, consisting of a Trump appointee and two appointees of former President Barack Obama, had issued a sealed order denying the 76-year-old’s appeal late Wednesday. . .

A rep for the former VP declined comment, while a rep for special counsel Jack Smith had nothing to say about the Wednesday appeals court ruling.

Spokespeople and lawyers for Trump remained mum on the development.

The former vice president and potential presidential candidate had said he would comply with a judge’s order to discuss the riot on the record as the federal panel weighs obstruction and conspiracy charges against Trump and his allies.

Pence: Trump Indictment ‘Not an Expression of Equal Treatment Under the Law’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World” that the reports former President Donald Trump will be indicted in the Manhattan district attorney’s criminal probe into a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels was “not equal treatment under the law.”

Pence said, “The unprecedented indictment of a former president of the United States on a campaign finance issue is outrageous. The details that will follow will not change that fact. And I think millions of Americans looking on see this for what it is. It’s a political prosecution by a Manhattan DA who literally campaigned for office on a pledge to indict the former president. The Attorney General of New York campaigned for office on a pledge to go after that same American. And this is not — this is not an expression of equal treatment under the law that every American deserves. And I think that’s why the American people aren’t having any of it.”

FBI Searching Mike Pence’s Home For Classified Material

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI showed up to former Vice President Mike Pence’s home in Indiana on Friday to search for classified materials after Pence’s legal team found classified documents inside the home last month.

Pence directed his team to search his home in Indiana and his office at his political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), following revelations that classified documents had been discovered in Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center, a Washington think tank affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania. No classified papers turned up in the search of Pence’s offices at AAF.

FBI to Search Mike Pence’s Home for Classified Documents: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI is reportedly set to search former Vice President Mike Pence’s home in Indiana for additional classified documents in the coming days.

Pence and Justice Department officials are currently working on scheduling the search, per the Wall Street Journal.

The former vice president told the National Archives last month he found classified documents from his time as vice president — after former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden were found to have classified documents improperly stored.

Lawyers for Pence say they discovered two boxes of classified documents in his Indiana home on Jan. 18, along with another two boxes that had copies of vice presidential papers, according to CNN. The classified materials were reportedly disclosed to the National Archives immediately upon discovery, with the Archives informing the Justice Department of the matter. He also informed relevant congressional committees of the findings on Jan. 24, when the discovery of the documents was made public.
