This isn’t Pence’s first time taking Trump to task.
It begs the question: What’s the relationship like between these two these days?
The timeline of their difficult relationship confirms this suspicion.
“‘Jesus can help you through this,’ I said.
‘Call on Him.'”
However, Trump seemed unmoved by this spiritual advice.
“He didn’t say anything,” Pence detailed.
That’s when Trump sent out a tweet criticizing Pence for not overturning the election results.
Of course, it should be mentioned that Pence toldFox News(in the same interview!)
that he “would never vote for Joe Biden.”
Advancing American Freedom also lobbied against Trump’s choice for Department of Labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
Pence’s group is also spending big bucks trying to change Trump’s mind about tariffs.
In response, Pence stood up, extended his hand, and congratulated Trump on his re-election.
(A bit brown-nosing, but what can you do?)
Pence clarified to AP that his disagreements with Trump are not personal, but rather based on principles.
That “congrats!”
he gave Trump speaks louder than any of his polite words of dissent.
