Trump has declined to say what limits he supports nationally and has blamed some midterm candidates’ strong rhetoric for their losses last November. Now he treats it as an inconvenience, even blaming our election losses in 2022 on overturning Roe v. The sanctity of life has been our party’s calling for half a century - long before Donald Trump was a part of it. Pence, who supports a national ban on the procedure, said, “After leading the most pro-life administration in American history, Donald Trump and others in this race are retreating from the cause of the unborn. He accused the former president of abandoning the conservative values he ran on, including on abortion.

But Wednesday, as Pence made his pitch to voters for the first time as a declared candidate, he did not hold his tongue. While Pence has criticized Trump, working to step out of the former president’s shadow while laying the groundwork for his own run, he has generally done so obliquely, reflecting Trump’s continued popularity in the party. Pence has spent much of the past two-and-a-half-years grappling with fallout from that day as he has tried to chart a political future in a party that remains deeply loyal to Trump and filled with many who still believe Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen and that Pence somehow could reject the results. Together, we can bring this Country back, and the best days for the Greatest Nation on Earth are yet to come! 🇺🇸 #Pence2024 /A8EkqgCDAm I believe in the American people, and I have faith God is not done with America yet. “I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States, and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United Sates again,” the former vice president said. Capitol, sending Pence and his family scrambling for safety as some in the crowd chanted, “Hang Mike Pence!” Trump’s statements about mass voting fraud led a mob of his supporters to storm the U.S. 6 head-on, saying Trump had disqualified himself when he declared falsely that Pence had the power to keep him in office. While he spent much of his speech criticizing Democratic President Joe Biden and the direction he has taken the country, he also addressed Jan.

Pence, launching his campaign at a community college in a suburb of Des Moines, became the first vice president in modern history to challenge the president under whom he served. Now voters will be faced with the same choice.” Capitol and the president falsely insisted his vice president could overturn the election results, Trump “demanded I choose between him and our Constitution. On that perilous day, Pence said, as Trump supporters stormed the U.S.


Maybe the secret will be to look the other way as often as possible.ANKENY, Iowa (AP) - Former Vice President Mike Pence opened his bid for the Republican nomination for president Wednesday with a firm denunciation of former President Donald Trump, accusing his two-time running mate of abandoning conservative principles and being guilty of dereliction of duty on Jan. I’m sure seeing Pence trend on Twitter is an indication there is a lot of pent-up rage and emotion. I am hoping we are far enough removed from the pandemic that things will be slightly more subdued this time around, at least without all of the constant misinformation circling on social media and the disputable links promoting poorly sourced news stories. It’s now suddenly starting all over again, as though the trolls were living in a cave all of this time waiting to re-emerge into the light and start swinging their club again. I was happy when the election season finally came to an end and I didn’t have to scroll past all of the barbs. In recent years, a combination of a slow economy, the pandemic, rampant racism and far-right sentiment, and just pure hatred seem to take over social media at every turn. I grew tired of all the infighting, sarcasm, and jabs during the last couple of presidential elections, especially since both sides couldn't remain even remotely civil.
