WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday warned against the growing populist tide in the Republican Party as he admonished “Putin apologists” unwilling to stand up to the Russian leader over his assault on Ukraine.

Speaking at the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington less than a month before November’s midterm elections, Pence addressed the growing gulf between traditional conservatives and a new generation of populist candidates inspired, in part, by former President Donald Trump.

“Our movement cannot forsake the foundational commitment that we have to security, to limited government, to liberty and to life. But nor can we allow our movement to be led astray by the siren song of unprincipled populism that’s unmoored from our oldest traditions and most cherished values,” he told the think tank audience. “Let me say: This movement and the party that it animates must remain the movement of a strong national defense, limited government and traditional moral values and life.”

I eagerly await the froth from the Trump fans.
 
He is talking to you bro.

Hmmm......no, doesn’t sound like it.
 
Pence once again stressed the importance of the oath he took when he was sworn in as vice president, adding that, “The American people must know that conservatives will not simply pay lip service to keeping faith with the Constitution, but that we will always keep our oath — that we will keep our oath, as the Bible says, even when it hurts” and “stand for the Constitution ... even when it would be politically expedient to do otherwise.”
Pence channelling Liz Cheney.....

Not looking good for Pence when his party prefers Majorie Taylor Greene and Jim Jordan.

Meh, they're already furious he didn't try to steal the election for Trump. That's basically like killing Jesus.

That’s just the projection and hate talking.
Herp to the Derp to the Herp to the ****ity-****in' DERP.
 
The Heritage Foundation. Pay attention.

I've been wondering what the reaction to his speech was...only thing I noticed about that was:
Pence’s speech was briefly interrupted at one point by audience members who walked out of the auditorium in protest.

So let's get back to the thread. Pence is trying to save his self-fried ass. Won't work. The base wants a loud brash idiot-asshole, the worst preferably because that will troll the left the most.

If you know Roman history, I believe we've been stepping into something like the Greens vs. the Blues.


Except right now it's still [ For the people but still politicians] vs. [the Blues]

The Dems are at least still sort of attempting to do something. Trumpists, now The GOP? They just want to burn it all down and blame the left, then burn down more so they can blame that on them too.

Before I take that bet, I have to know the market value of a donut.

What kind of donut?

Onion cheddar. Sausage egg and cheese (swiss, though). Bacon added. Sausage added. Bacon added again.


I shit you not I am immediately starving.

He could always testify before the 1/6 Committee or give an interview or write an editorial and divulge what his boss did. Instead, he speaks in tongues. What a coward.

Not a good look for someone who would lead the free world. Balls are involved and he definitely has none.

That's a bagel. Nobody mentioned bagels being at stake.
