Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) had not acted as he would have a “conservative limited-government Republican.”
Host Andrew Ross Sorkin said, “What do you think of DeSantis did with Disney in Florida? There’s two ways to look at it. One is to say Disney spoke out on a political or social issue, but then clearly, there was retribution political against them. I think it’s empirical what happened. He said as much when he did it. So people talk about cancel culture. Some people say, well, you know, they’re canceling on one side. The other side says DeSantis used his political power to cancel them.”
Pence said, “I would say two things, number one, I fully supported Florida’s initiative to protect kids and protect parental rights. I was just in Iowa last week where there’s literally a school, the Linn-Mar Community School, that will allow a student to get a transition plan without parental at notice or approval. I fully support what Florida did about protecting kids under the third grade. But Look, Disney stepped into the fray, they lost. But the idea of going after the taxing authority, you know, that was beyond the scope of what I, as a conservative, limited-government Republican would be prepared to do.”

Pantywaist alert!
Mike McRomBush is on the case!
Pence is welcome to fcck off.
How would Judas Pence know?!
Please clap for Mike!
Pence trashing DeSantis = an endorsement for DeSantis.
All they are doing is showing who is actually the front runner. All DeSantis has to do or say is ... nothing.
Ridiculous. DeSantis simply insisted that Disney pay taxes like everyone else.
Pence is a country-club republican.
My test of a man is whether I would go into business or battle with a man.
Pence is not on my list.
‘Disney spoke out on a political and social issue” is like Ilan Omar saying about 9/11 “somebody did something.”
So Pence supports a corporate oversight of public property using that benefit to affect governmental change over voting citizens unrepresented by the corporatists decisions, decisions intended to groom children for sexual immorality.
Gee Pence, not seeing many Christian values there. Why are you supporting a private company having the ability to operate outside of an elected governments power the voting citizens have to operate under?
Don’t you think the people have a right to oversight publicly accessed property and businesses for things like safety and employee protections?
neo-Cons not wanted.
Pence is a bug what needs squashing. Dang fool.
Trump’s got it backward with his pun ... it’s Pence the sanctimonious one.
The knock on Pence was always that he was a deep state coward. He proves it every chance he gets. After 20 we can add back stabber to the list
“Pence on DeSantis: Disney Action Beyond the Scope of a ‘Conservative Limited-Government Republican’””
this proves once again that Pence is a complete moron: it was the state GOVERNMENT that created the situation in the first place by effectively designating Disney’s territory as a county governed by Disney ...
so, why is that limited-scope government, but undoing what the state government did in the first NOT limited-scope government?
Pence’s ridiculous analysis of that situation vis-a-vis “limited government” completely disqualifies him as an actual conservative ... and PROVES he’s a moron to boot ...
pathetic loser appeaser
white flag pence
enjoy your retirement mike
