Pence swipes at Trump on Ukraine, entitlements at RNC retreat
The Hill via Yahoo News ^ | 4/14/23 | Brett Samuels

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday took aim at former President Donald Trump and other potential GOP presidential candidates as he laid out his vision for 2024 to Republican donors.

Pence, in remarks at the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) spring donor retreat in Nashville, Tenn., argued that the party could not afford to remain fixated on the past or follow a cult of personality at the expense of policy — a clear swipe at Trump as the former vice president weighs whether to challenge his old boss for the 2024 nomination.

“We need leaders with the courage to speak hard truths, and have faith that the American people will rally to our cause,” Pence was expected to say, according to excerpts obtained by The Hill. “We must resist the temptation to put what is popular over what is wise, and resist the politics of personality and the lure of populism unmoored to timeless conservative values.”

1/4 Pence could have went after the MSM deflecting to talking about who the leaker is instead of what he blew the whistle over, how they constantly cover for Joe and Hunter, and for the Biden regime conning Americans into shelling out $200 billion for Ukraine as they painted a rosy picture while lying to us about how the Ukrainians are faring well in this war, lying that there are no US (much less NATO) boots on the ground in Ukraine, etc:

2/4 Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Twitter:

When it comes to Ukraine, the Biden Administration has lied to us from the very beginning.

Joe Biden said the US would not get involved in the war in Ukraine because Ukraine is not a NATO member nation.

Yet over a year later, we’ve sent hundreds of billions of dollars, military equipment, and so much ammunition that we have to borrow from foreign countries like South Korea to replenish our stockpile.

We have now found out from a supposed 21-year-old National Guardsman that there are American military troops on the ground in Ukraine.

Is this another Stu Scheller who revealed the truth about the Biden Afghanistan withdrawal?

If this is true, why are they there? What are they doing?

A US troop presence in Ukraine to go to war with Russia was NEVER authorized by Congress.

Now the Biden Administration and DOJ want to arrest a likely low-lever National Guardsman for exposing the TRUTH?? It’s Joe Biden, his Administration, and the Department of Defense that are breaking the law. They are violating the Constitution by inserting us into an armed conflict most Americans don’t want and no American benefits from.

The National Guardsman that released these Pentagon papers is simply blowing the whistle on what is really taking place at the DOD, yet he’s being treated like a traitor and criminal. It’s the Biden Admin and the DOD who are acting like criminals. They’re the ones who should be held accountable to the American people because of what they’re doing in Ukraine.

Our Constitution and the rule of law exist for a reason, and the Constitution is clear: it is Congress that must vote to go to war. But again, the Pentagon has us involved in a war that Congress never voted to approve.

It’s time we hold the Biden Administration accountable for breaking the law. #ImpeachJoeBiden

4/4 Trump publicly confirmed the Obama State Dept was behind the Maidan uprising in Ukraine [which has led to all of this mess]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q2Ta5gCw1xA&feature=share

Obama/Biden/Nuland were against Ukrainian sovereignty in 2014 before they were for it in Feb. 2022.

“ We need leaders with the courage to speak hard truths”

That counts out the coward Mike Dense who failed miserably and pathetically when given the chance to prove himself.

This pos isn’t relevant to anything other than bashing maga and sucking up for the establishment.

Pence was the “insurance policy”. The POS took out Flynn before Flynn could go after the deep state.

And what exactly are ‘conservative values” in this case? sending money we don’t have to a country that no one cares about ? If you want to get rid of Trump just take his message and run with it.

"the lure of populism unmoored to timeless conservative values.”

I have a question Mr. Pence. What part of President Trumps "Make America Great Again" unmoored?
Do you speak of a Constitutional Republic?
Do you speak of an evil "Democracy" driven by marxists?
You have lost me completely.
You should push your crap with the hags at the view.

And did you catch Pence letting a bit of his inner snark slip out when he responded to the boos with a sarcastic “I love you too”? Mr. Cool AKA The Robot actually allowed the peasants get under his skin? Who’d of thunk it?

“Seventy percent of our nation’s budget is entitlements. And Joe Biden won’t even discuss common sense reforms,” Pence’s remarks said. “Joe Biden’s policy is insolvency. And sadly, our former president has echoed Biden’s pledge “not to touch” Social Security. I think we owe my three granddaughters better.

Someone should tell this back-stabbing chump that the "fiscal responsibility" ship sailed with Ross Perot in 1992.

Just another dumb Repukelicking yammering about Social Security in the run-up to another "election" - which will be misrepresented by the Media Machine of the Democrats as "cutting Social Security" and feeding dog food to Grandma.

Haw haw haw! I saw the video of Pence getting booed at his hometown NRA convention today.

Hopefully Mike and Mother can relax tonight at the hotel.
