Mike Pence is back on the Trump Train following the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Pence heaped praise upon Trump for the attack, which has sharply divided many of the president’s conventional supporters, during an interview on Sunday’s edition of Fox News Channel’s The Story with Martha MacCallum.
MacCallum began the conversation with a clip of Pence trashing the president.
“The things that you point out there, the importance of the free world and the fact that President Trump made this very gutsy move, I just want to go back to the pre-election period in 2024, because you joined me here several times then. And this is what you said in March of the election year,” she said before the clip.
Pence says in the footage, “Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years. And that’s why I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump in this campaign.”
“So, now, at this point in the presidency and watching how it’s playing out, do you have any regrets about that statement back then?” the Fox News host asked.
“You know, the president and I have had our differences, which resulted in me staying out of the 2024 race,” Pence replied.
“But I have to tell you, I couldn’t be more proud of President Trump’s decisive leadership in this moment or the extraordinary professionalism and courage of our armed forces that brought about this historic mission. I mean, I must tell you, I saw last night as really a continuation of the policies of our administration, where we isolated Iran as never before.”
Pence continued, “We got out of the Iran nuclear deal. We used force first against Syria when they used chemical weapons on their own people. We took down the ISIS caliphate with our military and their leader. And, of course, the president’s decision, which is very reminiscent to last night, the president’s decision to take down Qasem Soleimani.”
“I have been there at his side. And I must tell you, I honestly had no doubt that, if the Iranians did not step up and make a deal to dismantle entirely the Iranian enrichment program, that President Trump would act, our armed forces would deliver. And that’s just what happened.”
Lindsey Graham, Mark Levin, and Bill Kristol have also celebrated Trump for the move.
No one cares what Pence says.
FUMP
Suckin up for something
That’ll do, pig.
Rarely has an acronym provided a more appropriate sound effect. As in, "Mike Pence's numbers in today's straw poll made a muffled 'FUMP!'"
Mushroom cloud and warmongers.
You’re good with the demonizing terms.
But, why didn’t you include Trump in that warmonger group? After all, he’s the one what ordered the strikes on Iran.
Somebody needs to tell this guy he’s irrelevant.
No one cares (or EVER did) what he thinks.
Didn’t Pence get all of his COVID boosters? Why is he still here?
Pence is happy only because he thinks his MIC stocks will go up.
He was never more than half here. Nothings changed
President Trump should have ordered the Air Force to give Pence the B2 Blue Ice in gratitude for his support.
Pence sets off my gaydar warning.
😄🐖🐖🐖
You’re right Cobra.
Judas Pence still thinks J6 was an insurrection and was livid when President Trump pardoned some of the J6ers who were locked up for NO reason.
Scumbag.
Neocons trying to run out in front and claim they are calling the shots.
All the wrong people thing this is wonderful.
