Former Vice President Mike Pence fired back on social media after an out-of-context video clip of him suggesting he’s more interested in the war in Ukraine than issues plaguing cities across the US went viral on Friday.
In the video, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson questions the 2024 Republican presidential candidate about where his priorities lie after Pence criticizes the length of time it has taken the Biden administration to provide Ukraine with weapons to fend off Russia’s invasion of the former Soviet state.
“You are distressed that the Ukrainians don’t have enough American tanks. Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years. Drive around. There’s not one city that’s gotten better in the United States, and it’s visible,” Carlson says during a forum at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa.
“Our economy has degraded, the suicide rate has jumped, public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased, and yet, your concern is that the Ukrainians – a country most people can’t find out a map – who’ve received tens of billions of US tax dollars don’t have enough tanks. I think it’s a fair question to ask, like, where’s the concern for the United States in that?” Carlson asks Pence.
To which Pence responds, “It’s not my concern. Tucker, I’ve heard that routine from you before, but that’s not my concern.”

Except it wasn’t out of context Mikey you worthless little traitor.
I think he displayed so much contempt for Tucker in that moment that he was blinded by it, and didn’t even comprehend what he said twice. The open distain and refusal to even turn his head that direction, truly bizarre appearing.
But he’ll have plenty of chances to relive that very moment, I mean we still see the Howard Dean clip every election cycle.
He said what he said - there’s no way around that.
Hoisted on his own, ill-conceived, petard.
Pence is a fake candidate.
.
Back to the Mansion.
And the No-Show Jobs.
This is my Concern.
.
“Tucker I don’t like you and I am tired of you and you have tried this shtick before and so I have no choice but to off myself.”
LOL
That’s not my concern.
************
A quote that will haunt him forever. He really came across as a total Deep State tool.
I can’t stand Pence, but I actually did feel a bit sorry for him yesterday, because there were two “your concern is”’s in Tucker’s question and I truly believe Pence addressed the wrong one. It was an own goal for sure, but I think he meant to convey something else.
Then my husband reminded me that Pence has been in politics long enough to be able to properly unpack a hostile question, so screw Pence.
Speaking of hostile, I’ve never seen Pence look that angry. Tucker really rattled him.
LOL, just rewatched Team America last night.
Nothing was taken out of context. Mike Pence ended his political career all by himself. Sanctimonious jerk.
Out of context? No way, i’ve now watched it several times and maybe he didnt realize the bigger context of what he was saying, but the clear message is unmistakeable.
Deep State narrative peddled by Dems, fake news organizations and Rinos.
Was he the guy with Donna on the yacht?
Zelensky’s a little short right now......not to worry.....Biden will fork over a few hundred billion.
Tucker did a great job with real questions to all six candidates throughout the day. He should be a moderator next fall in the national primaries.
Pence is Stan Laurel to Christie’s Oliver Hardy
I appreciate the humor in your post, but Stan & Ollie had good intentions to make us laugh, and were darned skilled at it.
Pence & Christie are two bought and paid for Deep State flunkies who have no interest in restoring a free Republic.
Yesterday shows why Republicans need to go into hostile territory every once in a while, it makes them much better debaters, Tucker Carlson is mild compared to what the MSM will do to them, if they can’t calmly and forcefully defend their positions they have no business running for president, Pence is the perfect example, just a couple of tough questions and he’s toast, you can’t win a national election by staying in your comfort zone
don’t believe your lying ears.
He was “Allepo”
