Mike Pence Slams the ‘Fallen’ Heritage Foundation Amid Mass Exodus to His Own Think Tank
Mediaite ^ | Dec 22nd, 2025 | Isaac Schorr

Former Vice President Mike Pence did not mince words about the mass exodus from the influential Heritage Foundation to his own group, Advancing American Freedom, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Monday.

The Journal reported that AAF was “slated to hire about 15 of Heritage’s employees including several of its prominent leaders” on Monday, and Pence told the outlet that he believes Heritage has “fallen” and “abandoned its principles” in recent years.

“Why these people are coming our way is that Heritage and some other voices and commentators have embraced big-government populism and have been willing to tolerate antisemitism,” submitted Pence.

The Republican Party is running right back to Surrender Monkey Bush-Pence Democrats the day after Trump leaves office.

Heritage hasn’t fallen, the people who left and went over to this POS foundation have fallen. Shameful bastards.

They also have no future as young people are not impressed by these people.

Hopefully, Trump has a plan.

But a lot of it is going to depend on whether JD and Rubio are MAGA or not.

Well, they have to do something so they can lose and assume their usual position.

The Heritage Foundation should thank God those in question left.

Anyone willing to work with Mike Pence is the enemy of the MAGA movement.

I hope "mother" approves.

I saw Pence in an interview with Tucker recently, and Pence shi* himself. Disgusting.

So sayeth a former VP not worth a bucket of warm Pence.

If Mike Iscariot has been designated the Great Non-Trump Hope, then this is truly the GOPe's Proverbs 26:11 moment.

Heritage was ruined by Israel firsters, because the president to give in to their demands to denounce his friend Tucker.

They put the proverbial gun to his head, then destroyed a long standing and influential conservative intitution when he didn’t cede to them. Comply or else - or how the Israel firsters have operated over the past several decades.

That they into the arms of a back-stabbing, phony trashbag like Pence says a lot.

F them and Pence.

Why would anyone think Rubio is MAGA?

He chose Never Trumper and Lincoln Project member Rick Wilson to be his advisor during the 2016 election.

Pence/Romney supporting “think tanks” are what helped get our nation into the shape it is today. Their main accomplishment is surrendering to the left.

Leaving and heading for the Benedict Arnold Society.

The real Arnold ended up being distrusted and then shunned by the British after he helped them and moved to England. British figured he could betray England someday, too. They saw him as a dishonorable opportunist.

I was surprised to see this actually. Pence is such a traitor and a loser l would not have expected Heritage people to join him. Heritage is better off without them. So is this where Mitt and Flake ended up?

Absolutely. Pence & Co. are living on hopeium. Their days are gone. After President Trump, America isn't going back to the Pence, Romney, Ryan squishes.

Bin Laden got one thing right: "When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse."
