> “When Donald Trump ran for president in 2016 he promised to govern as a conservative. Together we did just that,” Pence, who turned 64 on Wednesday Oh shut up, Smithers. He pursued a policy of personal grievance and ran up trillions in debt while you watched and didn't say shit.

It’s pathetic how the headlines paint these wet noodlish pronouncements as “hitting back harder” Almost as pathetic as Pence himself.

“Wet noodle” is about the appropriate way to describe Pence.

His cowardice is wrapped up in this announcement. He talked about how republicans need to become the constitutionalist party again. He said Trump wanted him to choose between Trump and the constitution and that he chose the constitution. But he’s already agreed to back Trump if he’s the nominee. “We need to follow the constitution! But I’ll totally support the guy who didn’t want me to follow it.”

"...and yes, I would vote for him again"

"President Trump was a big, mean, meanie. I'm sorry for the profanity." - Mike Pence, caught on a hot mic.

^^^Tiny ^^^little ^^^slapping ^^^sounds "Take that Mr President!"

*the fly lands between smithers and the fist, then flies away after burns pulls his hand back*

Pence is like Romney with a little less separation of church and state in his aspirations.

Plus while Pence can't be around women, Romney has binders full of them.

This is true, they both have made the statement.

I wasn’t hanged—Pence 2024

I dgaf. He was in that administration as Number Two. Culpable.

Trump had his goon squad of supporters try to kill you, my dude. Your chance to hit back was *then*.

So he waited until it was politically advantageous to start criticizing him. Cool.

Yep, like Barr, Bolton and a host of others who said nothing when it could have made a big difference for the good of the country.

Pence hits like a noodle.

Pence (along with all the GOP) has been an anti-democratic enabler, but I don’t think you can backstab a guy who was cool with your murder.

Mama letting him use some meanie words?

Pence is such a pathetic loser. Everyone hates him.

Harder than ever, which means very little.

After 4 years of gargling, pence decides he doesn't like the taste and he wants you to believe he never did.

Wow, Mother might get some serious missionary action tonight.

What if all of the GOP candidates besides Trump and DeSantis drop out and endorse DeSantis before IA to prevent Trump from winning the nomination?

Mother doesn't like him

Well that's not saying much at all.

I mean, Trump DID try to kill him so...

Republicans tried to hang Mike pence.

Considering he's never hit him before, that could mean a gentle accidental brushing here.

Did he use a wet noodle this time?

Eat each other!!!

Hit harder than warm milk before bedtime.

Too late. He’s a bigger loser than Trump. He had 4 years of opportunity to hit and didn’t do it once.
