Mike Pence unloaded on both President Trump and Vice President Vance in his first interview since the GOP’s midterm shellacking, calling the results not just a rout but “a reckoning.”
Pence rips Trump’s tariffs, his administration’s handling of the Iran war and what Pence describes as an “air of corruption” surrounding the White House, including the First Family’s wealth growing by more than $3 billion. He directly disputes Vance’s claim that the war alone cost Republicans Congress, arguing the causes were “much more complex” and that voters were frustrated because the administration “stopped short and didn’t finish it.”
Pence says the party must recommit to the conservative principles that defined the movement for more than 50 years, charging that “the direction the president has taken our party was roundly rejected by the voters.”

A reminder that Mike Pence is paid by a corrupt opposition group in Iran previously designated as terrorist / leftist. https://t.co/3Sh0iHc2af
