Former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Donald Trump’s mugshot was the “tragic” result of the former president violating his oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

You worked for Pence, but previously you were Trump’s director of legislative affairs. I want to get your response as a human being, when you look at the mug shot of Donald Trump, the former president, you’ve seen it now.” -snip And I...

Marc Short, former chief of staff for Vice President Mike Pence, said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that at the end of his presidency, the advisers to Donald Trump were “basically snake-oil salesmen.” Anchor Chuck Todd said, “I want to go back to the time of January 6. You guys were under a lot of pressure. When did you conclude that all of the potential allegations that were out there that they were baseless?”

Peter Navarro was a key adviser in the Trump administration. He was an important part of making sure the Trump administration delivered on the promises that were made to the American people. Navarro is releasing a new book called “In Trump Time.” The book is going to be a behind-the-scenes look at what took place during the Trump administration. This will be a trustworthy account, unlike the books that come out from Fake News hacks and RINOs. In the book, he talks about the fight to stop Joe Biden from stealing the 2020 election. According to Navarro, Pence was fed...

Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short, reportedly said he was denied entry back into the White House after Pence said he would follow his constitutional duty to certify the election results Thursday. Short reportedly told Real Clear Politics reporter Philip Wegmann that he is not allowed back on White House grounds because “He’s (Trump’s) blaming me for advice to VP.”

WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short on Wednesday accused President Trump of revoking his White House access as tensions between Pence and Trump continued to deteriorate. The president publicly and privately lobbied Pence in recent weeks to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College win ahead of Wednesday’s confirmation vote in Congress, which Pence is overseeing as the president of the Senate. “Mike Pence, I hope you get to stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country, and if you’re not, I’m going to be very disappointed in you,”...

What did Mike Pence know, and when did he know it? According to Gordon Sondland, he told the vice president on September 1 that he believed that military aid to Ukraine had been stalled as leverage for investigations into corruption. Sondland included this in his opening statement:Not surprisingly, Adam Schiff drilled down into this immediately during Sondland’s live testimony. The testimony itself is rather weak sauce, even if did prompt a strong response from Pence’s office: Gordon Sondland confirms that Mike Pence was aware of the quid pro quo. #ImpeachmentHearings pic.twitter.com/ahmvdWQ2hQ— act.tv (@actdottv) November 20, 2019 Note here that...

When's the last time you remember a CNN host—before permitting a former Dem official to speak—telling such guest, and by extension the audience, "you are hardly an impartial reporter?" Like never, maybe? And CNN brings on a pile of former Obama and Clinton officials from Jim Clapper on down. (Oh, and psst, CNN hires former Obama officials as "impartial reporters." See Jim Sciutto.) But that's what happened to former Trump aide Marc Short when he appeared on this morning's New Day. Before permitting Short to report on his conversation with President Trump regarding the SOTU, co-host John Berman said: "Now...

Failed former “Never Trump” Koch brothers executive Marc Short, who joined President Trump’s White House last year to be Legislative Affairs Director, has abandoned the administration to join CNN, the president’s most vitriolic opponents in the establishment media. *snip Short’s time in the White House was marked by failure and pandering to the establishment wing of the Republican Party on issues like immigration and trade. Most prominently, Short failed to deliver on an end to the Catch and Release program that allows illegal aliens at the southern border to be caught by Border Patrol and then readily released into the...

Two days before Marc Short — the former director of legislative affairs for President Donald Trump — begins his paid senior fellowship with the Miller Center at U.Va., History Profs. William Hitchcock and Melvyn Leffler announced their resignations from their professorships at the Center. Both professors will remain in their roles at the history department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Short’s hiring drew widespread backlash from the University community, including over 2,500 signatures on multiple petitions. In their letter to the Center’s Director William Antholis, the two professors wrote that the decision to hire Short “runs counter to...

President Donald Trump heads to Capitol Hill Tuesday evening to rally House Republicans behind an immigration bill he panned just five days ago. Now Republicans have to decide: Which Trump do they believe? Speaker Paul Ryan and his top lieutenants are well aware that only the president can give conservatives cover to vote for a bill that includes a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers — a huge leap for those who once dismissed that idea as “amnesty.” It’s why leadership invited Trump for a rare meeting with the entire Republican conference, just days after he indicated he might veto the...

During a segment on CNN, the former Koch brothers executive turned White House staffer Marc Short said that Americans needed to “have a serious conversation” about “what the definition of a wall is,” in regards to the U.S.-Mexico border wall that President Trump promised to build. Short, who led the Never Trump movement inside the pro-mass immigration Koch brothers’ organizations, questioned what exactly a border wall would look like under the administration, while also pushing amnesty for nearly 800,000 illegal aliens shielded by the Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. “I think that what the definition of a...
