Pence says no room in GOP for Putin ‘apologists’ after reported Navalny death
Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday is no room in the Republican party for “apologists” for President Vladimir Putin after Russian authorities reported the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Pence issued a strong rebuke of the Russian leader in a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Putin is a war criminal and only understands strength. Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion of Ukraine has killed or wounded hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men, women and children. Russia’s brutality must be met with American strength,” he added.
Pence further urged Congress to “set aside the politics of the moment” and to pass aid to Ukraine and Russia with the “military resources they need to defeat their enemies and ours.”

Seems like there’s plenty of room. Room made by the president you served. https://t.co/uftWdH6iv9

Putin murdered his political opponent and Trump hasn’t said a word after he said he would encourage Putin to invade our allies. He has, however, posted 20+ times on social media about his legal drama and fake polls.

What you have to understand is, Rob and I both worked together for the House GOP leadership in the early 1990s. We're not lefties. We're righties mourning the loss of a credible party. pic.twitter.com/LsSnBJTI7p

If you want to understand guys like Carlson and D'Souza, it's this: They thought they'd be the next generation of pundits, taking the place of Will and Krauthammer. Failure has turned them bitter and made them willing to ally with anyone who'd break the status quo in their favor.
