Mike Pence ran with Trump in 2016/2020 as a MAGA/America First populist, now he's...

giving speeches to establishment republican organizations/think tanks, universities, etc. warning of the unbridgeable divide between traditional republican conservatism and America First National Populism.

War Room has been playing some vid clips from a recent Pence speech at Saint Anselm College and it's quite revealing to hear Pence now decrying America First National Populism. It's not like Trump's platform has changed at all since 2016 when Pence jumped on the Trump Train and now Judas Pence is showing his unashamed DC Uniparty self.

Ya know, think back to all the constant leaks coming out of the Trump administration, leaks that only someone very close to the president would know about......I wonder?

In my experience, people don’t change. They just eventually show you who they’ve always been.

Pence has always been a robot-like phony with the personality and intellect of a carton of spoiled milk.

Right-wing populism, also called national populism and right-wing nationalism, is a political ideology that combines right-wing politics and populist rhetoric and themes.
Its rhetoric employs anti- elitist sentiments,
opposition to the Establishment,
and speaking to or for the "common people".


Yeah, that sounds horrible!

Exactly...Pence is who he has always been. I believe that trump brought him on to solidify his support among evangelicals and "traditional" republicans. He was never a MAGA co-pilot.

Pence is another Uniparty member that fooled Trump.

He was always in place just to keep them informed. That guy is a POS and was from day one.

The entire reason Pence agreed to be Trump's VP was so he could ride the Trump name for 8 years before he took his shot. Before Trump started looking at Pence for VP, had anyone outside of Indiana ever heard of him?

Hate that Pence chose himself as VP.

Totally railroaded Mr. Trump, Don would have picked somebody better.

BINGO! And now Pence refers to Trump as "my former running mate"

What a disgrace that guy has proven to be. I'm so sick of his phony midwestern preacher persona.

I remember pre Trump we Americans who consider ourselves conservatives knew nothing but Republican establishment politicians, just like Pence, the epitome of a Uniparty plastic politician. I'll never support another Uniparty Recucklican.....that boat has sailed and sunk.

Never been a fan of Pence. Going back to how he let himself get run over by NCAA head office in Indiana. I knew the reason Trump needed to have him run with him, but wasn't a fan and wouldn't be surprised if he would have been a snake in the WH.

I do hope someone one asks him one day if he, as the head of the WH CV response team, ever sensed that Fauchi/Birx had nefarious intentions. If so, if he told Trump. If he didn't' see it, why not?

The minute Trump named Pence as VP was the minute Trump’s MAGA agenda was DOA.

Pence made gay eyes at Trump for four years.
Flew hours out of his way to stay and prop up
Trumps failing properties (Scotland) while VP.
In the end Trump asked for one too many shady things
and he bolted. He's loathed by all now but no one told him.

There’s no room in the Republican Party for Populists.
