Former Vice President Mike Pence, a 2024 GOP presidential candidate, said Thursday on News Radio 610’s “New Hampshire Today” that former President Donald Trump was wrong about Hezbollah being “smart.”
Pence was responding to Trump’s comments during a speech in Florida on Wednesday, where he called Hezbollah “smart” and criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Pence said, “This is no time for the former president or any other American leader to be sending any message other than America stands with Israel.”
He continued, “Hezbollah aren’t smart, they’re evil. The former president also said when Russia invaded Ukraine in a similar, unprovoked, unconscionable invasion a year-and-a-half ago, he said Vladimir Putin was a genius. I will tell you that all the blame here lies at the feet of Hamas and the Russian military in these unprovoked invasions. They need to be held to account. America need to stand as leader of the free world and as arsenal of the democracy.”
Pence added, “I’ve been very clear that voices in the Republican Party like Donald Trump, or Ron DeSantis or Vivek Ramaswamy who have been signaling retreat from America’s role as leader of the free world in Eastern Europe, who have been suggesting we have no national interest in supporting the Ukraine military, it has only emboldens the enemies of the free world.”

Does Pence have any idea that he sounds like a tedious, clueless old scold?
He should take his wife’s name. Karen, I mean.
Being smart doesn’t mean you’re a nice person.
If you’d been smart Mike, you would have turned down that 30 pieces of silver.
THE FLY NEVER LIES.
Some crooks are smarter than cops ...sometimes they never get caught
“Mother, should I run for president?”
Winston Churchill gave a speech where he stated Rommel was a brilliant foe, Admiral Yamamoto was praised for his smarts during WW2, that doesn’t mean they were liked by the allies.
Pence is a typical politician.
He’s nasty.
This is a case where you’re not allowed to ascribe or admit that someone you disagree with has some favorable trait.
Yes, everyone we don’t like is dumb, a madman and “evil.”
Thank you Pence for your third grade reasoning.
Dumb political word games. Shows he’s the antithesis of what he pretends to be, but he proved that already after the last elections. He’s a coward and real morals require a strength he don’t have.
Also Mike:
What is it with “Hezbollah *aren’t*???
Are you British now?
“…sounds like an obvious trap set for the Hezbollah to me.”
Except there was no trap.
He’s worse than Jeb. Jeb only killed one person — Terri Schaivo. Pence, via his partner in crime, Fauci, is responsible for thousands of deaths.
“evil can be smart”
Satan is no dummy.
Mechanical mike
I’ve seen evil geniuses in comic books.
