After Donald Trump was caught on video bragging about sexually assaulting women, Mike Pence stayed on his ticket. As the coronavirus ravaged the U.S., the then-vice president praised the administration’s response. And after a violent mob threatened his life during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, Pence rejected entreaties to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
But after years of being a subservient sidekick, Pence is beginning to distance himself from Trump as he takes increasingly overt steps toward a White House bid of his own.
Last month, Pence called out Trump by name, saying his former boss was “wrong” to insist that he had the power to unilaterally overturn the results of the 2020 election — a power vice presidents do not possess. In a separate speech before top Republican donors, Pence urged the GOP to move on from Trump’s 2020 grievances and declared “there is no room in this party for apologists” for Vladimir Putin after Trump praised the Russian leader’s maneuvering as “genius” before his brutal invasion of Ukraine.
The moves show how Pence, a former congressman and Indiana governor, is working to craft a political identity independent of his former boss. The strategy carries substantial risk in a party still dominated by Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

Glad to hear it as well. I guess she could spend the rest of her life “acting”. ;)
Puntz = punt + putz
“He stated a simple fact about what some women will ALLOW a man to do... “
Thank you! The lies the media tells are staggering.
Yep. “Back” to work, I guess....
If he’d just come out of the closet already he might gain some of the Log Cabin Republican vote. Maybe Lindsey Graham could be FLOTUS.
To much starch in his shorts.
A man full of self conceit, hubris and easy to betray for Dan Quayle’s approval.
He’s finish. Take the money you stole and find a good hobby.
“Whatever we as MAGA folk think of Pence’s actions, I have yet to see any reason to hate the guy.”
So you’re not ACTUALLY “recovering” then? It’s 75% his fault that Biden is being called “President”, and that’s reason enough to hate him with the burning heat of 10,000 suns.
I wonder who will be the Deep State’s pick for GOP loser in 2024, Pence or Precious Willard.
Pence will likely be the Swamp's pick for 2014's designated loser in his run against Heels-Up.
Joe of course will be dispatched before then
Does this idiot really think anyone cares what his opinion on anything is!!!!
A big Hell No Mike.
Oh whatever you do, don’t thow me into that briar pence!
Exactly right. He said plainly that if you have money and celebrity, certain women will allow you to fondle their pussies.
And that is true.
I should have wrote “privates” instead.
douche bag traitor is all I see
I just think he’s a terrible presidential candidate who doesn’t have a chance in hell of getting elected.
Par for the course...Pense distances himself...it’s to laugh.
President Trump “distanced himself from Pense” on January 6, 2021.
And God Bless him for doing it at that time.
Ass Press just spewing nonsense.=======
AS THEY USUALLY DO!!!!
Got no further than the first sentence which was a ridiculous lie. Trump never said anything about “assaulting” women. He said they LET YOU when you are famous......which, let’s face it, there are plenty who do. Look at rock stars with their groupies. Look at a helluva lot of rich men’s new wives.
As for Pence, he’s a nothing. He has no support.
5%? Surprising. Sure it wasnt negative 5%?. That sounds more likely. To win anything if he does run is going to take a LOT of electoral fraud.
