RINO Turncoat Mike Pence Demands Trump Bring Down The “Hammer” with Secondary Sanctions on Russia Ahead of Peace Talks (VIDEO)

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.

Indiana. But you got the cockroach part right.

Thank you! I've been fortunate to successfully forget a lot of details about that person, so that the primal reaction of slight revulsion (as tho witnessing a cockroach) is basically my first reaction on seeing it's name.

Where has Judas Pence been while the Europeans have been violating the sanctions and buying Russian energy all along?

“He knows exactly what he’s doing.”

Ford did it to Reagan and Bush to Trump. I guess someone is paying or blackmailing them. It isn’t helping their legacy or political prospects.

What an idiot. If Trump slapped sanctions now, all negotiations would end on the spot. Even a nobody like me knows that.

I am absolutely certain that Trump would listen to you long before he would even think about listening to Pence.

The more I read about this Klown, the more I THANK GOD our Dear President Trump was cheated out of the 2020 Election.

It WAS Election Fraud, and meant for evil, but God turned it around for good.

Just My Humble Opinion.
