Fmr. Sr. Pence Advisor: The Divide Between Trump And Pence ‘Has Always Been There’

Former Vice President Mike Pence and fmr President Trump are both out on the campaign trail – supporting competing candidates – while Pence attempts to play down the Republican Party’s clear political divide. Olivia Troye, his former senior advisor, explains that Pence has always been advised by people who can’t decide whether their loyalty lies with him or Trump. “I think Pence needs to listen to his own instincts and gut more. When I have seen him do that, he has actually been at his best.” She hopes the former Vice President will decide to speak to the January 6th Select Committee – it’s “always strongest when you’re standing up to the bully together.”

Fmr. Sr. Pence Advisor: The divide Between Trump And Pence ‘Has Always Been There’

[wthomas]

Trump has always considered pence a religious nutjob. Pence, on the other hand, has always considered trump a plain old nutjob. Ironically, they're both correct.

[natalieharless]

What Pence needs to do is testify in front of J6 ASAP, IMO...🙄🙄😡😡

[richardshirley]

Don’t blame anyone from trying to distance themselves from Trump, but Pence enabled the orange clown for four long years.

[helenrichards]

Way past time to VOTE ALL MAGA REPUBLICANS OUT ASAP!!

[jimfitzsimmons]

Maybe Pence should just go was part of a BAD Admin.

[eternalskeptic]

He invited
He incited
They rioted
Then he denied it
Even though he'd implied it
Now he must be indicted!

[stuartdryer]

Pence is not courageous. L8z Cheney is courageous.

[GRJ-uzkf]

Mike Pence should have just embraced his "heroism" and vanished from public life.

[johnnypunish]

It's NOT tough. Pence must go after TRUMP agressively to take him out. If not, he's done. PERIOD

[andrewwmacfadyen]

Love the comments by posters that would have you believe Jack the Ripper was a really nice guy.

[Jimsac]

LOCK TRUMP UP, LOCK TRUMP UP, LOCK TRUMP UP, LOCK TRUMP UP

[Frenzy]

If someone or better still everyone who instigated J6 & Georgia are not punished to the full extent of the LAW, then justice and sanity in the US is forever destroyed...☠ The AG & DOJ must do the right thing & make no mistakes...

[cherylburkhead]

And had the people not noticed, not a one of them would have spoke up. They'd smile gleefully and li e their pockets at our expense.

[myfatherschild]

Honesty is still the best policy, but neutrality, pride, greed and self ambition creates an obscured view, but in the end truth always win.

[Timzart]

Pence is running on the gallows humor platform. He should say, "When Trump wasn't trying to get his mob to hang me, he was watching TV or golfing, and I did most of the daily presidential duties for four years."

[barbaragdisis]

Bottom feeder...The bottom five include William Henry Harrison, Donald Trump, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan

[grafixnetz]

Let's hear about tRump/Pence/COVID, Pence/COVID and Kushner/Pence/COVID. And please follow the $$$. There are a LOT of things about Pence that we should not let disappear into the memory hole

ISSUES

Honoring Our Commitment to Veterans

As a nation, we have a moral obligation to provide the best quality care to those who put their lives on the line to defend us. Just as planes and tanks and guns are a cost of war, so is taking care of the men and women who we sent off to fight the wars. It includes caring for the spouses and children who have to rebuild their lives after the loss of a loved one. It includes caring for the hundreds of thousands of veterans with multiple amputations or loss of eyesight, post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. It includes veterans who are having difficulty keeping jobs in order to pay their bills, and it includes the terrible tragedy of veterans committing suicide. As president, I will do everything that I can to make sure that every veteran gets the benefits that they are entitled to receive on time and without delay. We will not dismantle or privatize the VA. We will expand and improve the VA

Who loves the picture of Lincoln on the wall behind her!

[oneworld]

What a fresh breeze she brings with every very trustworthy lady. May her persona, dedication to truth, and loyalty bring her the greatest just one point that could use some improvement: who gets her for an assistant and/or who she works for. Pence doesn't count.
Such pretty, unique like you just want to maintain contact.
Thanks to both of you for the excellence.
