Former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Mike Pence on Sunday went on the attack against his former boss, accusing President Trump of being too soft on Russia in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine and calling on him to bring the “hammer” down.
“I know his style in dealing with these dictators. It’s the velvet glove,” Pence said in a rebuke of the President’s cool and collected dealmaking style. “I think the hammer needs to come, and it needs to come immediately.”
Pence made the comments on CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper.
This comes the day before President Trump plans to host a summit at the White House with European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, to potentially broker an end to the war in Ukraine. Previously, on Friday, Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where the two came to an agreement to secure peace, pending Ukraine and NATO cooperation.
.... Snip....
Pence told Jake Tapper that the President "ought to pick up the phone and ask Majority Leader John Thune to to immediately pass the secondary sanctions bill" while he meets with the leaders on Monday. "Putin only understands strength. So, while the President and his diplomatic team engage in this re-approach with Putin, and there seems to be interest, in my judgment, Putin's not going to stop until he stopped," Pence said.

How many negotiations of any kind has Pence handled in his life? Any?
Trump has handled more than he could count.
Mikey, there’s a reason that Trump’s doing this and you’re not.
Analysis: warmongers want war to go on and on and on and on....
Outside looking in. That’s all that matters.
Judas Pence can shut his fag mouth.
“Mike Pence Demands Trump...”
😁😆🙄👿
💩💩💩
The ONLY reason Pence gets on TV shows is to criticize Trump. Pence is too stupid to see that.
How much did he make on Ukraine?
The Ohio Cockroach again?
What an idiot. If Trump slapped sanctions now, all negotiations would end on the spot. Even a nobody like me knows that.
We’ll see what happens after the big pow wow tomorrow.
So that’s what they were looking at
LOL!
I can think of something better to do with the hammer, pencie...
Pussy Pence making demands? LOLLOL
Pence is owned by the Deep State and his staff was working with Strzok and then Weissmann to get Trump.
Pence = Jeff Sessions
What’s that old saying — it is better to keep one’s mouth closed and let people think one a fool than it is to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. Pence should reacquaint himself with that saying
