THIS IS HUGE: Mike Pence just publicly tore into Trump for freezing sanctions on Russia. Trump’s own former vice president is now demanding he reverse it.
Read that again.
Trump’s former vice president, the man who stood beside him for four years, is now calling him out in public.
On Sunday, Pence blasted Trump’s decision to waive sanctions on Russia while Putin keeps waging his brutal war on Ukraine. He said the move is decidedly not in America’s national interest and should be reversed.
Then he went further: “Putin is a war criminal and only understands strength.”
Pence said waiving the sanctions signals weakness at the exact moment America needs to show strength. He warned that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it’s only a matter of time before Russia crosses a border that American troops will have to deal with.
And he didn’t stop at criticism. Pence laid out exactly what Trump should do. Restore the sanctions immediately. Rescind the diesel deal with Russia. And rally America’s allies to make sure Ukraine has the military support it needs to defeat Russia’s invasion once and for all.
He closed with two words: Slava Ukraini.
Think about that.
The man who served as Trump’s vice president is now telling the world that Trump is making America weaker and handing Putin a win.
Thank you, Mike Pence, for standing up to Trump and demanding he stop doing Putin’s bidding.
