WASHINGTON (AP) — His group spent nearly $1 million on ads opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick to lead the nation’s health agencies. He’s delivering speeches urging the president to stand with longstanding foreign allies and lobbying members of Congress while aides write letters and opinion columns.
This weekend, he posted an article he penned more than a decade ago on the limits of presidential power after Trump claimed that, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
Mike Pence is emerging as one of the last Republicans in Washington willing to publicly criticize the new administration.
It’s an especially jarring role for the former vice president, whose refusal to break with Trump defined their time together in office until the two had a falling out over Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and his efforts to remain in power.
Pence and those who work with him at Advancing American Freedom, his political advocacy group, stress they are not looking to take on the “Never Trump” mantle. They intend to praise the administration when they agree with it, while raising concerns when they don’t, advocating for longtime conservative principles that have fallen out of favor as Trump’s “Make America Great Again” brand of populism has taken hold.

“So Pence is the new Liz Cheney? What an awesome career move!”
Yeah, except Cheney has bigger balls.
“heaven’s no!” That’s the only line I ever needed to hear from pence and I didn’t like him for VP choice based on that..he sounded like a soft fruit.
He is.
He’s as much a gaping rectum as Liz!
Ol’ Mike “Scrap Heap of History” Pence really ought to retire.
Pence was a traitor-in-hiding from the get go. He eventually revealed himself as a calculating deep state operative. His political career is over except as a tool of the deep state/neocons buzzing around trying to damage MAGA and regain the influence he never had.
Mike Pence is just a useful idiot to the left.
“He folded like a wet paper bag when LGB...came after him when he was governor of Indiana.”
I don’t know why anybody thought Pence would be courageous on January 6th.
I keep reading the headline attempting to understand what I am reading.
Is the author a retard?
Traitor
There, fixed headline error for you
Some rich people think Pence is both electable and manageable.
There’s no chance Pence would win a Republican presidential primary, even in Indiana. Pence is despised by MAGA primary voters.
Emerges?
AP is inept
AP.
Riiiiiiiight. /s
He may get votes of the left, and some rinos, but that’s all.
Best of luck, Judas.
Vance will destroy Pence in the 2028 primaries. Make no mistake about it-Pence is aiming to be the Deep State RINO saviour.
We can only hope for a Pence/ Cheney Ticket!
” long time conservative principles...” How exactly does the warmonger Pence, represent anything at all that is principled?
Total revenue was $ 1,217,611, and of that over $ 300K was paid to Paul Teller, with canvassing services and "other salaries" and perks eating up the most of the "charitable" work.
Advancing American Freedom Foundation Inc Form 990 for fiscal year ending Dec. 2023
Promoting a politician via a tax-free non-profit....
Where is that?
“Now he’s just a has been want to be.”
Sitting in the nosebleed seats with other irrelevant voices of the past: John Kasich, Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Jeff Flake, Meaghan McCain, and the Bush family.
Nicki Haley has been extremely quiet. Smart move. She’s probably laying low waiting to see if the Deep State is able to stop what currently appears to be the Trump juggernaut or if the economy tanks and Trump is blamed. Two years is an eternity and if she is planning to run for POTUS again in 2028 she doesn’t have to put her messaging together until after the 2026 midterms.
Pence isn’t elected to anything at the moment. He’s an ex vp. He’s been a ridiculous figure since his time in govt. Trump is going to POTUS for the next 4 years. He can join the moon bats and scream no but that is about it.
