Former Vice President Mike Pence blamed ex-President Trump and other potential 2024 Republican presidential contenders for the recent Hamas attack on Israel. This accusation has sparked debates and raised concerns.
Pence made these comments during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, where he said, “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.”
These words have ignited controversy, with many questioning whether Pence’s critique is genuine or a strategic move to position himself favorably for the upcoming election.
This is one of the most revolting remarks I have ever heard from vile neocon POS Mike Pence.

While Pence did not solely blame Trump and his fellow Republicans, he emphasized their role in the attack. He also criticized Joe Biden for “setting the conditions” for the assault.
Pence’s connection of Trump’s America-first foreign policy to the Hamas attack and Russia’s war on Ukraine has raised eyebrows. It is worth noting that Trump’s term in office did not witness any war on Ukraine or Israel.
Pence reiterated similar sentiments during a speech in Iowa, accusing Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy of “appeasement” and “signaling retreat.” This challenge to the Republican Party’s current stance reflects Pence’s belief that it has embraced isolationism and appeasement.
Why doesn’t this Judas just sit down and stfu?

Pence’s comments have sparked a heated debate within the Republican Party and the nation. The question at hand is whether America should continue to proudly stand as the leader of the free world or if a change in approach is needed.
Pence firmly believes in the former, stating that the heartbreaking images from Ukraine and Israel serve as a reminder of America’s indispensable role as the leader of the free world.
Pence’s bold stance has stirred up controversy within the Republican Party. Whether this will work in his favor or against him in the upcoming presidential race remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: Pence is not afraid to challenge the status quo and voice his opinions, even if they go against those of his former running mate.
