Former Vice President Mike Pence said continued rhetoric by former President Trump related to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol is the reason the two split despite leaving Washington after their first term “amicably.”

“Despite the fact that the president and I actually parted amicably when we left the White House on Jan. 20,” Pence said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week.” “And spoke several times in the weeks that followed that. After I saw him return to that type of rhetoric in the spring of 2021, we’ve just gone our separate ways.”

Separate ways? This isn't a lifetime movie mike.

Pents can go to very hot and fiery place

Fly Guy says what?

Pence is a sick liar. He is compromised.

[ClearCase_guy]

No loyalty. I give no respect.

He’s probably angling for his own show on CNN or MSNBC where he can give full vent to his Trump Derangement Syndrome. His “campaign” is just a fundraising ploy.

Would you follow Pence into battle?

Would you follow Trump into battle?

[wiseprince]

Pence and the rest of the Repukes don’t even know there is a battle. When Trump, God willing, clears a path they’ll be their forging on like they had something to do with it

Trump’s mega-ego is on full display. He’s not just unwilling to pass the torch - he’s incapable. He’d rather run the ship into the rocks than allow anyone else to take the helm.

You don’t pass the torch when you’re still on top of your game.

You also don’t pass the torch to people who support so many of the things that you wanted to fight against when you first got into the game.

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on just holding on to ties
Now that we're living separate lives

[budj]

Sorry, Mike, some people just don't learn.

[SMARTY]

It’s a simple case of a liar who wants national attention by taking cheap shots at a guy who won’t even bother to respond.

Pence sets off my gaydar...

[McGavin999]

Poor Mike, he never was anybody, he’ll never be anybody.

[AAABEST]

“Pass the torch” to a swamp-derp like Mike Pence?

Silly redneck wench.

[Da Coyote]

Think of RINOmney with virtually all the parts removed. Imagine an empty shell with virtually no human parts left, not even the RINO cells - just emptiness. That’s Pence. Neither being is worth regarding as anything other than the human equivalent of modern art.

[V_TWIN]

Exactly right.....Mr irrelevant trying to be relevant......he’ll find out just how irrelevant when he gets into his little presidential campaign.......my money says he shuts it down early for lack of interest.

[no-to-illegals]

The swamp welcomes their own
