Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday elicited boos at a major Iowa conservative gathering as he made the case for strong U.S. support for Ukraine.

Pence sat down with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for an event hosted by the Family Leader, and the two men clashed over the former vice president’s staunch support for U.S. assistance for Ukraine in its war against invading Russian forces.

Pence must be cutting his cut from this or he sleeps with a Ukraine blanket or something

[oblomov]

Tucker and Trump know where the bodies are buried.
They’re buried in the Ukraine.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah this is where Pence’s political aspirations ended when he said that the US issues are “Not his concern”

[Bullish]

I used to have a little respect for Pence but that’s long gone.

Pence cites (as part of the logic for supporting the war) an updated version of the domino theory used to justify the Vietnam war.

Tucker: “Every city in America has become worse over the past few years... Your concern is that Ukraine don’t have enough tanks... Where’s the concern for America in that?”

Pence: “That’s not my concern.”

Stolen elections cause world wars.

What was Pence trying to say? I cannot get out of that statement anything except that he doesn’t give a crap about the US. Was he trying to say it was Biden’s problem? If so, it sure came off wrong.

At first I thought I misheard, but then he doubled-down on it. Yep, that's what he said.

[madison10]

I forgot to say Pence is an @$$.

[eyeamok]

Almost all of our Public Servants and wannabe Public Servants full support the NAZI regime in Ukraine. as for supporting the The American people, well why would they care?

[Pollard]

Now trending on twitter.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah he said it TWICE at first I thought he is going to correct himself and say that Ukraine is “Not his concern” but he didnt correct himself he REPEATED IT..Im surprised Tucker didnt say “Wait what did you just say?”

That needs repeating:
Tucker: "Every city in America has become worse over the past few years... Your concern is that Ukraine don't have enough tanks... Where's the concern for America in that?"

Pence: "That's not my concern."

Broke the laws of the US on Jan 6 to allow for a successful coup d’état.
Now openly a war monger and not concerned for the american people.

[llmc1]

That’s not what he meant, as he clearly shows in the rest of his response.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"Im surprised Tucker didnt say “Wait what did you just say?”

Don't interrupt when they're destroying themselves.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"That’s not what he meant, as he clearly shows in the rest of his response."

What is your opinion on what Pence said?

[volunbeer]

I hope for the sake of our nation given his past positions within our government that he did not speak clearly, but actions speak louder than words.

Our government spends more on the infrastructure of other nations than on our own.

It’s not just a “democrat” problem either, the GOPe loves to hand out money too.

[proust]

Tucker did well in this exchange.
