Presidential candidate Mike Pence made a pilgrimage to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and affirm Pence’s position that the unilateral power of the Ukraine government needs to be supported.
Mike Pence then presents himself as the arbiter of what it means to be a republican with a Twitter message saying, “I know the difference between a genius and a war criminal, and I know who needs to win this war in Ukraine, and it’s the people fighting for their freedom and fighting to restore their national sovereignty. There is no room in our party for apologists for Putin. There is only room for champions of freedom.”
Americans must sacrifice to support the magnanimous interests of the industrial military complex. Failure to adhere to the dictates and fiats of Republican power will not be tolerated in his party.
NEW YORK (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Thursday, meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and touring the war-torn country as it fights Russian aggression.
Pence, who this month launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for president, has been deeply critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
He has called on the U.S. to deliver more military aid to the country and criticized GOP rivals who have questioned the ongoing U.S. involvement, saying there is no room in the party for “Putin apologists” and pushing back against those who want the U.S. to take on a more limited role on the world stage.
Pence spent roughly 12 hours in the country Thursday, according to an adviser, with stops in Moshchun, Bucha and Irpin, according to NBC News, which traveled with him.
“I’m here because it’s important that the American people understand the progress that we’ve made and how support for the Ukrainian military has been in our national interest,” he told the network. “I truly do believe that now, more than ever, we need leaders in our country who will articulate the importance of American leadership in the world.”
In addition to his meeting with Zelenskyy, Pence received multiple briefings, including one from Ukrainian officials on the country’s current security situation and one on allegations of human rights violations by Russians accused of abducting Ukrainian children in a bid to weaken Ukrainian resolve, the adviser said.

The sooner “Ukraine” is gone, the better.
How dare you, Mikey, you traitor, you!
In that case, let’s hope he loses the primaries hugely to Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis!
Scratch a disgusting Zeeper, find a leftist, Democrat Party d-bag.
30 Pence makes Judas look like like a true Christian.
This kind of stuff could cost him dozens of his hundreds of primary votes next year.
Does anyone know someone who supports this guy?
May you reap what you sow
Thankfully, I am no longer a republican. If pence feels strongly about this, he can grab a rifle and head to then eastern front.
Ditto
There’s no room in the Republican party for those who say that there’s no room in Republican party for those who do not support the Ukraine war.
Ok Heinie...
Why didn’t you reply with your canned, overused response “May it be so!” I find that you are not only dense but extremely repetitive and boring.
I hope the Ukraine is dismembered for aligning with the WEF Davos crowd.
A guy who writes jokes for a living...
May you real what you sow!
Yet another Zelenskyy biotch
OK. All this tells us is that he’s in on the grift. Just one more pol benefiting from the goings-on with money laundering, child trafficking, etc., over there.
Pence is a joke. A very bad one.
