Mike Pence, the former Vice President of the United States, will forever be aligned with former president Donald Trump due to their time at the top of elected office. Despite this connection, Pence is seemingly distancing himself from the former business mogul after a recent appearance in Washington, D.C.
Mike Pence was a guest at Georgetown University for an event hosted by the conservative group, Young America’s Foundation. Pence, a staunch conservative, faced mild protests from students and used the dog whistle term of “woke” to issue a charge that political discourse has gone off the rails, of course not lambasting his side but only those that don’t agree with his side’s views.
“It seems like every day a new story breaks that says big media, big government, big tech or big business have locked arms to advance a woke agenda designed to advance the policies and beliefs of the American left, and show intolerance to people that have divergent views,” Pence said, as reported by The Hill.
During this portion of the event, the protesting students exited the venue, which drew a sharp remark from Pence.
“It seems to me that having served many years in Washington, leaders in the nation’s capital of never been more out of touch or more intent on imposing their agenda or walking out on people that might have a different point of view,” Pence said in response.
During the Q&A portion of the event, a person asked Pence if Trump manages to snag the Republican Party presidential nomination for 2024, would Pence pull the lever for his former running mate. With a knowing smirk and laughs throughout the audience, Pence said, “well there might be somebody I prefer more.”
What observers shouldn’t do in this instance is take this to mean Pence is suddenly a GOP defector. In fact, it appears that Pence is hoping for the so-called “red wave” as his party eyes majorities in the House and Senate with a push to bulldoze conservative policies back into the fabric of America. As the kids say, Mike Pence is still the opps.

Never forget that, no matter how tough Mike Pence tries to talk about taking Women's bodily autonomy, his boss tried to kill him and he STILL won't speak out against him.
He's a worthless coward.

So Mike Pence is definitely going to run for President in 2024 and I 1000000% believe he will pick Liz Cheney as his running mate.
Let’s get through midterms and strap on our boots— because some of y’all have been painting them out to be heroes and it will cost us seats in 24.

Trump tried to hang Mike Pence
While Pelosi tried to save his life
Boebert tweeted out the Speaker’s location
While Pelosi urged Pence not to tell anyone where he was
When push comes to shove, Democrats take care of you regardless of party
Republicans try to get you murdered

Lying bigot Mike Pence makes my skin crawl. I’ll never understand how he’s okay with his former boss trying to have him assassinated.

You heard it. Pence says they will take away a woman’s right to her body & her choice once they get back into control. The election is the big showdown—on reproductive rights, democracy, & fighting climate change. Drag your friends & families to the polls! We’re in the Endgame. https://t.co/wNyUZPAy4o

Mike Pence: "There can be no room in the conservative movement for apologists to Putin.”
Good for him. But I wish he would mention the name of the person who transformed the GOP into a pro-Putin party…

Mike Pence knows that Trump's MAGAts would have killed him and yet he's still a dangerous evangelical "end of days" ideologue. I will never "honor" Mike Pence for doing his job and certifying the 2020 election. Flies are attracted to shit.
