Pence Said On Fox News He Won’t Endorse Trump — But You Wouldn’t Know That From Watching Fox News

On Friday, former Vice President Mike Pence made the surprise, historically unprecedented announcement that he will not be endorsing his former boss in 2024 — during an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum.

You know, Pence could be a little more specific about what he’s “forgiving” Trump for in his heart. Was it for sending a mob to try to lynch him? I guess he has the right to forgive Trump for that, but he should say so if that’s what it is. Because he’s got no right to forgive Trump for trying to overthrow the government. That was an assault on every single American, past, present and future.

You’re frist, but no cat.

He considers TFG too liberal on abortion and doesn’t mind the attempted murder or overthrow of the Republic.

Cat.

Until Pence also says that he will not vote for Trump in the 2024 General Election, this is all meaningless twiddle twaddle. Trump is going to be the GOP Nominee without any “mainstream” GOP support. So, Boo Hoo, “Pathetic Pence” won’t endorse him, ouch that really hurts Trump’s feefees…NOT…not even a little bit.

It would be fine for me if Pence also said that Biden is the lesser of 2 evils and he and others should vote for Biden over Trump. But everybody knows that when Pence punches his ballot it will be a vote for Trump.

Yup.

He is an horrible, evil man, but I will vote for him… First act in 2025 will be an “Enabling Act.”

Where have we seen this in history?

“I mean, the president’s reversal just last week on TikTok — following an administration where we literally changed the national consensus on China — is the reason why, after a lot of reflection, I just concluded I cannot endorse the agenda that Donald Trump is carrying into this national debate,” he said.

Everyone should be clear that for Pence, Trump is not a vile human being, not a pathological liar, not a threat to democracy, not a danger to national security.

Nope. For Pence, Trump is not a horrible, evil man.

In slang, weenie is someone weak and unimportant, a wimp. Pence is a weenie, a robotic one at that, lacking in any emotional self-awareness.

He’s very purple.

I think this is very big hearted of Faux News. If they were to mention it too much, they might get Q-tip hung or something.

Don’t be so sure on that. Trump’s delusional ego is a raw nerve. He cannot stand any criticism or rejection. Considering the wrong, as seen by Trump, that Pence did to him, the rage is there. Same goes for Haley. She took aim and sent a continual volley of disrespect at him. Haley is not coming back from that. I will say it again and again and again. With Trump, it is not politics. It is personal, it will always be personal. It has been noted, the Biden campaign including Joe himself have changed up their rhetoric towards Donny. They are working that raw nerve to Trump’s distraction.

Personally, I doubt it.

When I glanced at the photo heading the column, I thought Pence was vaping.

Trump said he “couldn’t care less” that Pence didn’t endorse him (according to Axios).

Who gave him the grammar lesson, or did someone clean it up?

“But I want to be clear that, you know, I’ve forgiven the president in my heart for what happened that day [Jan. 6]. As a Christian, I’m required to do that. I’ve prayed for him in that regard.”

Would you care to describe how those prayers seem to have worked? Has the defendant in 4 criminal indictments and tried and jury-found purveyor of sexual assault and repeated, disgusting defamation been redeemed? I’m sorry, maybe you didn’t hear me, what with all the loud singing of the J6 Anthem and the calls by all the minions to release the J6 “Hosteges,” who await their pardons from the chosen one (who you have forgiven and pray for).

Close. He was vaporing.

I’ll give you the raw nerve, but I don’t think there’s any way Pence doesn’t vote for Trump if he is in fact the GOP candidate. He may not talk about or even admit to it, but I would be very surprised.

I think Pence finally got it into his head his former boss is insane, a traitor and murderous. Grant you, it took him a long time to get there.

Pence is “forgiving” a man who shows no repentance for being a traitorous igniter of a calamitous riot , a riot intended for evil gain. What a fool.
