Mike Pence suggests Trump, DeSantis share blame in Israel attack for 'signaling retreat' on the world stage

At least 1,100 have been declared dead in the Gaza-Israel war

============================================================

Former Vice President Mike Pence blamed President Biden as well as his fellow Republicans such as Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis for the devastating attack on Israel by Hamas over the weekend.

Pence commented on the attack Sunday morning on CNN’s "State of the Union" when co-host Dana Bash noted that he has criticized "leaders in the Republican Party" for signaling "American retreat as Leader of the Free World" as an influence.

"Are you talking about your former running mate?" Bash asked.

"Well, I am," Pence admitted, highlighting Trump along with other GOP members’ criticism of Ukrainian funding.

He later added, "I also believe this is what happens when we have leading voices like Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis signaling retreat from America’s role as leader of the free world. What happened in Ukraine was an unprovoked invasion by Russia. What happened this weekend was an unprovoked invasion by Hamas into Israel and I believe now more than ever, both the debate within the Republican Party and the debate within America is whether or not we’re going to once again stand without apology as the leader of the free world, as the arsenal of democracy."

"The heartbreaking images coming out of both of these theaters of operations remind us that America is the indispensable leader of the free world and if I’m President of the United States, we’ll lead from American strength," Pence continued.

The focus, military assets and money we spent on provoking and fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, one that anyone with a half a brain should have seen was going to be a disaster, is what took our focus off Islamic terrorism and the threat it is to national and world security.

Apparently, Deep State was so obsessed with the Ukraine disaster that it was competent to figure out what was about to happen in Israel.

The attack in Israel must be an off-ramp in Ukraine. If we're going to spend money and use military assets anywhere, it ought to be the middle east.

This jerk is dumber than Biden. Trump never retreated from anything in his life. Since DeSantis was deployed with SEALS to Iraq, he knows something of that area. (DeSantis was NOT A SEAL.)

Mike. Trump and DeSantis are the only ones who DIDN’T LOOSE THEIR MINDS AND “SIGNAL RETREAT”. It’s you “bend over KY cowboy” types who went full retard. You, Obonzo, Zinger, Lizzie, Schumer, Pelosi and the old gasbag, Rodham Clintoon.

Pence has lost his mind.......................

Pence is vying for that important demographic of Northeast, liberal, bowtie-wearing Ivory Tower Republicans.

Pence has always been a sell out.

Agreed. Why did Trump choose him twice to be his running mate.

“Pence has gone insane, he might as well switch parties.”

He might as well be a resident of the Funny Farm, he’s rapidly approaching total senility.

Trump’s daughter married a Jewish man and converted to Judiasm.

First time because the evangelicals strongly supported him (before they found out he was Judas). The second time because Pence was still acting like the loyal partner. Again, just like Judas.

Natch.

They don’t allow Republicans on the air unless it’s to bash other Republicans. Pence knows this. It’s the equivalent of axis Sally and lord Haw Haw going on nazi Germany radio to bash their respective home countries.
