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.

NOW we’re having some fun.
Does 30 Pence ever criticize the ‘Rats?
Word is one of Bondi’s grand juries is looking into Mike.
I can’t believe that once upon a time I thought Pence was a decent guy. He’s not. He’s a neocon mouthpiece. Please, Pence, shut up and retire. No one cares anymore. The only person who can still see his political career is Haley Joel Osment.
Mike, how about just hush.
When are you going to ask MAGA World for forgiveness?
It’s supposed to be good for the soul.
“RINO Turncoat Mike Pence Demands Trump Bring Down The “Hammer””
Glad I don’t support Pence, would be really embarrassed to!
I wish that man would just go away. His opinions are not needed or wanted.
Shut up, Pence. Nobody cares what you think.
Race Bannon demands Dr. Benton Quest bring down the hammer on Valmar rather than on Dr. Zin.
Judas P. turned out to be a Deep State puppet.
Lol
My bet is that he gets rolled up in all thats coming out.
Tough guy Pence is trying to sabotage Trump. What a traitor and a “failed” everything.
Sessions is just dumb, but Pence is treacherous.
Do tell. I think Pence is the one I despise the most.
(My bet is that he gets rolled up in all thats coming out.)
I believe he will. He was in on getting rid of General Flynn in the beginning of Trump’s first term. It all went downhill after that.
I think he’s worse. He is a scheming, conniving, underhanded phony.
Yep. Sessions is also too gentile and gets taken advantage of. Pence is first class snake.
FMP, FLG, FRB, and on, and on.
Mike Pence, Lindsay Graham, Richard Blumenthal
My read is . . . anyone is going to follow persistent and loud advice he is getting when it is aligned with what that anyone wants.
The Euros are in Zelensky’s ear non stop to take the hardline. Trump will be in his ear telling him to do things he doesn’t want to do.
He’s going to listen to the Euros.
Russia will continue to advance. Talk will restart about Bone Breaking Sanctions and next thing you know China shuts off neodymium magnet shipments. Not just the current 60% reduction. 100% reduction. And they may ramp up more Russian oil buys. Why would they not?
No China deal has happened so far even without these secondary sanctions. Why would anyone believe such a thing would ease the path to a deal.
And then the transactional President stops, looks at the situation, and asks . . . how do these secondary sanctions make more money for the US? The response will be — they are not intended to. They are intended to blah blah.
And then it is time to repeat that question — how do they make more money for the US?
Winner comment. That’s how I look at everything now. Congressman opposing common sense are getting paid by someone.
