Mike Pence tears into Donald Trump at 2024 campaign launch - BBC News

Former US vice-president Mike Pence has fired accusations at Donald Trump during a speech launching his 2024 campaign.

The Republican offered his most forceful repudiation of Mr Trump to date as he accused him of being unfaithful to the US constitution and of abandoning conservative values.

The former Indiana governor and congressman formally commenced his White House campaign on Wednesday.

The move pits him against his two-time running mate, who he served under in the White House from 2017-21.

Here in the UK we don't think Mike is worth two Pence.

Honestly, I can already image the political attacks Trump will launch on Pence such as implying that Pence is "in the closet."

[OneRandomVictory]

Republican party is literally at each other's throats and I'm here for it.

There's almost no chance of Pence getting the nomination. He's pretty much only known for being Trump's sidekick. It'll hurt Trump's campaign at the very least, but I don't think by much

[marthacartwwright]

He didn't tear into Trump. He's still scared of him.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time..

Mike you are a JOKE

[Rob-hyvb]

[nizambao]

Mike Pence is the greatest snake in human history.

You've got to love how people still think it's the politicians actually making the decisions

[einundsiebenziger]

How someone who calls himself a christian, but whose only goals are to make people's lives miserable and who openly refuses to believe in basic facts, can have a political career beyond screeming at people standing on a soap box in a park, speaks volumes about the state of education in the United States.

When Mike Pence says "God isn't done with America yet", it definitely sounds like a threat.

[lewisgreenway]

That woman said love his policies, what policies?

[LordAnthonyBain]

Trump was the best thing that ever happened to Pence.

[davidkamen]

Polls place Pence in single digit category. He doesn't stand a chance.

[philmyers]

God told me not to vote for any one that mentions God in their campaign. He doesn't like being used like that.

[gordonp]

This announcement is the biggest ho-hum moment in American political history!

[TheOrlandoTrustfull]

People expecting politicians to show loyalty 😂😂

[koostory]

LOL Guess someone not gonna get picked to be VP 😂

[ronelz]

I didnt even see him talk when he was the VP...

[flodareltih]

Pence, just like other politicians, loves wasting their time for nothing
