Former Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday criticized his former boss-turned-rival, Donald Trump, for calling retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a traitor over phone calls he made to China in the final stormy months of their administration.
“Frankly what Donald Trump said about him in that tweet, about treason and death, was utterly inexcusable,” the GOP presidential candidate said at a national security and foreign policy event at Washington’s Georgetown University co-hosted by The Associated Press.
Pence also reacted to the news that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had been ousted from his post by a contingent of hard-right conservatives. Asked how other countries might interpret McCarthy’s ouster as it relates to the stability of the U.S. government, Pence considered the question silently for 13 seconds before responding, “Chaos is never America’s friend.”
Pence pushed Tuesday for traditional GOP foreign policy goals and leadership ideals at a time when that vision — and his campaign — are struggling to gain momentum among Republican voters. Many GOP voters oppose sending more military aid to Ukraine, and three months ahead of Iowa’s kickoff caucuses, Pence continues to poll in single digits. He was positioned at the far right side of the stage at the last GOP debate. […]
Pence has accused rivals like Trump and his followers of abandoning U.S. allies and argued the only way to keep America safe is by engaging with the world, while also criticizing what he sees as President Joe Biden’s missteps in the U.S. withdrawal of Afghanistan. …

Milley told the Chinese he’d provide them with an early warning if his commander-in-chief and his military planned to attack China. This act by itself justifies every last thing Trump says about Milley - Milley is a disgrace.
anybody got some silver pence you can throw down for Pence, that might shut his gob?
This doddering old fool needs commitment to an old folks home...
This is not “age discrimination” since I am 26 years years older than he is!
Pence was a mental midget from the start of his political career...
Drop out Mike, no one wants a globalist like you.
Happy to see the end of Pence in politics.
How is it that that we find out that so many of these people in high places are SO STUPID???
Geez....I could have been in DC and had a plush retirement....but then I hate to lie.
Oh, Pence! I think I speak for all of us, when I respond, “Just shut up! You got your 30 pieces of silver (21.073 down 0.076 today). Can’t you just take it and go away”?
No loyalty, no shame, no humility. You sure you’re a Christian Pence!?
Well we know what flies are attracted to.
Georgetown voters aren’t voting for Pence.
They’re riding with Biden all the way to “Weekend at Bernie’s.”(The movie)
Backstabbing weasel.
What’s “utterly inexcusable” is what Milley did to our military and country.
Somebody needs to follow that head shaking bastard and chuck coins at him while he speaks.
But, the war whores love him because America is not his concern.
And this is exactly why Judas Pence isn’t prime leadership material.
Of course, he says Ukraine is his priority, not us.
Trump wanted to stop fighting wars in Afghanistan, Syria, and elsewhere the military did not know how to win. The military leadership hated Trump for that.
“ Milley is a disgrace.”
So is Pence.
I don’t think so. I think he told them we weren’t planning to attack China. If we were in fact planning to do that then it would be treasonous.
Traitorous hypocrite. Shut the heck UP!
