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.

Who is Mike Pence? More importantly, WHERE is this money coming from?
Once a TRAITOR, always a TRAITOR.
Pence had a chance to be a “check and a balance” on the most corrupt election in our Nations history...
... instead, he folded like a cheap suit and was a rubber stamp for the swamp instead.
Go away Mike, no one is buying your BS any more.
This cuck loser will stand up to Donald Trump but not ANY democrat. NONE. Well, the stable Genius created him, and dumped him on the rest of us… now he has to suffer him for who knows how long.
Conservative? I suppose it's question of what one is trying to conserve.
Wasn’t there once a news organization with the same name as this “Associated Press” outfit? I don’t think this associated press bunch will ever make a go of it if they can’t figure out that Pence is no Republican.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !
Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
Pence wouldn’t even win Indiana at this point.
AP is delusional
AP is one of the top US media/USAID funded gaslighters.
They’re doing their level best to promote lies, like this one....as well as the Free Speech is Bad narrative.
The AP has to find a Republican challenger that got 404 votes in the 2024 GOP primary in order to write this story.
Pence has got to be one of the dumbest guys on this planet. He serves no purpose.
“Trump claimed that, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
There are some similarities between the career arcs of DJT and The Corsican. Frankly, if DJT wanted a quote, I would have preferred, “I saw the crown of Liberty lying in the gutter, and I picked it up and put it on my head”, but it is what it is.
Pence wouldn’t even win Indiana at this point.
++++++++++++
Just loke gore not winning Tennessee.
Once a treacherous weasel, always a treacherous weasel.
“...They intend to praise the administration when they agree with it, ..”
I have much praise for Trumps performance in the past three weeks but have not heard any from the Pencites.
Does Pence have any supporters??
Good research. I did note in the article mention of “aides” he had writing these letters.
Who pays the aides?
Pence likely collects an Indiana pension and VP pension, but that won’t fund aides.
*ROFL* ....It sure does!!!!!!
Spent over 1 million and still lost...not a good look Pence!
I don’t recall Yeb! ever being “bold”. Must have blinked and missed it.
