Trump’s former vice president also called the administration’s ā€œanti-weaponizationā€ fund ā€œdeeply offensive.ā€

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that President Donald Trump’s second administration has ā€œdepartedā€ from traditional conservative principles.

Pence, who served as Trump’s vice president from 2017 to 2021, told NBC News’ ā€œMeet the Pressā€ that the administration is no longer committed to ā€œthe conservative agenda that has defined the Republican Party since the days of Ronald Reagan, and before that an agenda of American leadership, limited government, free market economics, the right to life.ā€

    Not like the first administration was any better Mike. But nice job trying to give yourself political cover for your blame in what has happened to this country over the last ~10 years. You might have done the right thing in the end, but you had a good 3.5 years before that to stiffen that back bone up and you didn’t until you saw the literal gallows sitting outside the senate offices.
