Former Indiana Governor and former Vice President under President Donald Trump’s administration, Mike Pence, recently said that the country’s rise in violence and eroding infrastructure are apparently “not my concern,” he said at a convention this past week.
Pence is running for President and is currently seeking the top nomination as the Republican candidate. Pence’s statement drew plenty of ire on online.
Hosted by Blaze Media (The Blaze), former Fox News primetime pundit Tucker Carlson grilled the candidates at the Family Leadership Summit, whose audience was mostly conservative Christians.
When Pence took to the stage he and Tucker discussed the Russia-Ukraine war and its ramifications. Pence asserted that if Russia takes over Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin will certainly fight his way to the Polish border and thus prompting NATO and U.S. forces to respond.
Pence contends that America needs to giver Ukraine whatever they need to repel Russia, and then when the dust settles NATO can better assess whether or not they should be allowed membership.
The discussion began to get chippy as Tucker seemed rather irritated with Pence’s sentiment:
PENCE: Peace comes through strength, and the United States needs to continue to project strength.
CARLSON: I know you’re running for president. You are distressed the Ukrainians don’t have enough American tanks. Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years. Drive around. There is not one city that has gotten better in the United States. And it’s visible.
And yet you’re concern is that the Ukrainians, a country that most people can’t find on a map, who have received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars, don’t have enough tanks, I think it’s fair to ask, where’s the concern for the United States in that?
PENCE: Well, it’s not my concern. Tucker I’ve heard that routine from you before, but it’s not my concern. I’m running for President of the United States because I think this country is in a lot of trouble.
After the clip went viral Pence and his team immediately went on the offensive to denounce his statement, claiming it was taken out of context and is “fake news.”
Furthermore, after Breitbart published a report on Pence’s statements, Pence’s team issued a statement to Breitbart:
It’s pretty disingenuous to assert that the man who champions policies that have previously led to the most prosperous economy in American history, including record low minority unemployment rates, would ever say that the Radical Left’s destruction of our country is not a concern.
It is, and that’s why Mike Pence is running for and will be president of the United States.
Pence was also questioned about the reports of religious persecution in Ukraine by Zelensky himself, which Pence, who has visited Ukraine and met with Zelensky, says that there is no persecution.
No, you spoke to one person who is clearly on one side of it, and there are many many news reports that are not disputed by anybody that many clergy have been arrested in Ukraine.
And I’m merely saying, I may not agree with their views. I’m not Russian Orthodox, but you can’t arrest clergy for having different views, period. Because if you do, you violate the basic tenet of religious liberty.
Carlsen said
The Blaze provides more details on their discourse in a dedicated report.
Pence’s statement mirrors that of other world leaders cheerleading for Ukraine, such as Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who has repeatedly called for the assassination of Putin on multiple occasions, and has said that “It’s the best money we’ve ever spent” killing Russians.

Moreover, the German Foreign Minister said last year that she will prioritize spending for Ukraine ahead of her fellow Germans, even though the prices of everything have exploded and residents were looking to stay warm this past winter and moving forward. Germany officially declared they are now in a recession last month.
Tucker went on to heavily criticize other candidates and held their feet to the fire on certain issues.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Isaiah 56:11
No way on God’s green earth will Pence be [s]elected as the next President of the U.S.: absolutely not, no way.
But I mention this because it demonstrates how Washington’s district of criminals think and operate. This Neo-Con and RINO is only concerned about serving the military industrial complex and the uniparty agenda of American exceptionalism and imperialism. It’s one party in Washington, two in the media: which divide the people on social issues, but are united together in war, corporatism, and oppression.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Perfect verse, Scott.
Mike Pence is saying the US needs to project more strength, what a joke!
Give glory to the Lord, for He will bring this wicked nation to its Knees in judgement.
Psa 107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
Psa 107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
Pedo-Pence.
Such arrogant, filthy, lying, unrepentant devils whose hearts grow cold, with no natural affection. Cunning beasts who suppose that gain is godliness. That man is a snake. A Jesuit coadjutor snake.
The Lord has his number. Along with every other individual soul that hates & refuses to love the truth that they might be saved, deceiving and being deceived, judging in the place of God things beyond the ken of men rather than faithfully, humbly & bravely warning from the quickening word that alone has the power to save. He will avenge, & it won’t just be America who was infiltrated, used, accused, raped & robbed after being a refuge to the world’s saints & seeking lost & world alike suffered in hope. Enjoy the popcorn & ill-gotten gain for now ‘superiors’, because whole truth which reveals the plight & condemnation of all apart from Christ & his shed, & only saving, blood is both here, suffering in longsuffering, & coming, with perfect vengeance & judgment. Watch.
Correct you are!
