Pence says there's 'no room' in GOP leadership 'for apologists for Putin'
Washington Examiner ^ | February 24, 2023 05:18 PM | Naomi Lim, White House Reporter |

Former Vice President Mike Pence condemned "apologists" for Russian President Vladimir Putin within the Republican Party, an indirect dig at former President Donald Trump, during a foreign policy address delivered on the first anniversary of Russia invading Ukraine.

"While some in my party have taken a somewhat different view, let me be clear," he told the University of Texas at Austin's Clements Center for National Security Friday. "There can be no room in the leadership of the Republican Party for apologists for Putin. There can only be room for champions of freedom."

Pence described Russia's war in Ukraine as "unprovoked" and "unconscionable," noting more than 300,000 people have been killed and "millions more" have been forced to flee their homes during the conflict.

"Beyond the courage of the Ukrainian people, we've also seen free nations of the world unite to stand with the Ukrainian people and stand up the Russian aggression," he said. "We will not stop providing [vital military aid] until victory is achieved."

"During the Trump-Pence administration, Vladimir Putin never attempted redrawing international lines by force," he said. "History teaches that weakness arouses evil. Let me say to my fellow Americans that after this administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the capitulation on Nord Stream II, America's standing on the world stage was diminished. Our enemies have been emboldened, and they are testing us from Eastern Europe to the Asia Pacific."

Whichis why I'll be supporting Trump, thank you.

After we get Ukraine in NATO having pushed Russia out of Ukraine, the Donbas and anything else where they have irredentist claims, what’s our next global ever war expansionist move? We certainly can’t just stop there.

What Pence is really claiming is that he wants no room made for a realist’s view of the Ukraine war; there’s only escalation and more arms transfers ad infinitum. Another stupid war pig.

We only demand to know why we’re spending more than the entire Iraq war in one year on a nation that’s SO IMPORTANT that we won’t even send our troops in to defend?!

Go AWAY Pence.

To Pence:

1. You don’t get to choose the Republicans who lead
us.

2. Biden and his EU socialist/LGBT allies are no better than Putin.
