The former vice president called out Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy by name.
Former Vice President Mike Pence tore into Donald Trump and pointed to isolationism in the Republican Party as complicit in the sweeping Hamas attack on Israel, decrying American “retreat on the world stage.”
In a scathing rebuke, Pence faulted “voices of appeasement like Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis that I believe have run contrary to the tradition in our party that America is the leader of the free world.”
Pence’s comments in Iowa represented the first ripple in the Republican primary from the violence that erupted on Saturday — and effectively threw down a challenge to Republicans he said have “embraced the language of isolationism and appeasement.”
Faith in the divine is a socially acceptable mental illness that alleviates anxiety/fear over death and the unknown in many and which can be used to bypass logical reasoning and to justify literally anything. Others have learned to exploit this illness in others for their own benefit.
The whole thing is a cognitive dissonance blocking form of insanity that can be exploited by anyone who isn’t afflicted by it while simultaneously sociopathic, unscrupulous, or amoral enough for any purpose imaginable.
100% agreed. The worst part is I’d pick Pence over Trump every time. That’s so depressing.
