Ex-Republican presidential contender Mike Pence evidently has an ax to grind with his former boss, saying unlike some GOP colleagues he won’t endorse Donald Trump.
In a Fox News interview Friday, the former vice president espoused resentment towards Trump, telling host Martha McCallum it “should come as no surprise” he won’t back his re-election bid.
“We have not heard from you,” McCallum told Pence. “Will you be endorsing your former president? You were on the ticket with him last time around.”
“Well, Martha, I appreciate the question,” Pence responded, “and it should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year.”
The refusal to support Trump sets Pence apart from other failed GOP presidential candidates, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy, who endorsed Trump upon exiting the race and urged the same from their peers.
However, the move is similar to that of disgruntled neocon ex-candidate Nikki Haley, who rather than urging her followers to back the former president’s re-election bid instead bitterly said Trump had to earn their support.
The ex-VP’s grudge toward the former president had already been made clear when he announced he’d compete against Trump in the 2024 presidential race — only to bow out nine months later.
Pence also showed his true colors last August when he essentially celebrated Trump’s federal indictment by special prosecutor Jack Smith, saying it illustrated no one is above the law.
The former Indiana governor was later chastised by Iowa State Fair-goers, who called him a “traitor” as he toured the fairgrounds.
The rift between Pence and Trump, of course, stems from the events of January 6, 2021 where the former president called on the former vice president not to certify the states’ electoral votes during the Congressional session meant to formalize the 2020 presidential election results.
Pence’s latest betrayal solidifies his position as a traitorous minion of the Deep State and an enemy of America, failing to come to the country’s aid when it needs him most.
