Former Vice President Mike Pence recently made a comment that has completely blown up in his face. Conservatives everywhere are criticizing him after he suggested that his former boss contributed to the terror attack on Israel this Saturday, October 7.
On CNN, Pence pointed an accusing finger at both former President Trump and some current GOP presidential contenders and accused them of contributing to an “American retreat as Leader of the Free World.” When asked if he was referring to his former running mate, Pence replied with a simple “Well, I am.”
He went on to say that both Russia’s unprovoked invasion into Ukraine and Hamas’ attack on Israel served as a reminder that America is the indispensable leader of the free world. He then promised that if elected President, he would lead from American strength.
This is one of the most revolting remarks, I have ever heard from vile neocon POS Mike Pence.

The entire Republican field was united in decrying Iran-backed attack which caused numerous civilian casualties. However, viewers were not impressed with this politicization of a tragedy and supporters of Trump have held resentment towards Pence ever since January 6th when he refused to follow Trump’s orders regarding counting electoral delegates during certification of 2020 election results.
This dissent eventually caused riots and despite Trump calling for peaceful protests, Mike Pence placed blame squarely upon him afterwards.
@Mike_Pence you are such a liar!
You know full Well, this has nothing to do with President Trump. ???????? President Trump brought peace to the Middle East, Obama, and Biden sent money to Iran, Hamas, and Ukraine that fed this war. #NeverPence???? pic.twitter.com/S1qYIvB6ED— Robin ⭐️ America OutLoudTalkRadio #GetLoudAmerica (@HyltonRobin) October 8, 2023
Despite all his posturing, it seems clear that public opinion hasn’t budged in favor of Pence as over 58 percent view him unfavorably while only 28.7 percent carry a favorable opinion according to Five Thirty Eight research data.
Furthermore, polling nationally shows that 4.2% of GOP voters support him which places him fifth behind DeSantis Vivek Ramaswamy Nikki Haley and none other than Donald Trump who holds near 56% support among Republicans nationwide.

The irony is that Mike Pence scooped the far left and the usual brigade of socialist radicals and was the first to conclude that somehow Donald Trump was responsible for Hamas attacks in Israel.
