Pence, eyeing 2024 presidential bid, launches group to defend Trump-era policies from "liberal attac
Source: CBS NEWS
BY ED O'KEEFE Former Vice President Mike Pence is beginning to reemerge after the end of the Trump administration with the launch of a new group to counter the policies of the Biden administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress. The former vice president has mostly kept out of public view since Inauguration Day, focusing mostly on some early work with conservative organizations and the arrival of a new grandchild. But on Wednesday, he launched Advancing American Freedom, an entity, he said in a statement, that would "promote the pro-freedom policies of the last four years that created unprecedented prosperity at home and restored respect for America abroad." The new group will enable Pence to maintain his political profile and serve as his vehicle to help defend Trump-era policies. A senior aide said the former vice president is likely to focus especially on the Biden administration's evolving immigration and border security policies and the current president's proposal to raise corporate tax rates to pay for a multi-trillion dollar infrastructure plan. According to the senior aide, who requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the plans, the new group is designed to "merge traditional conservative values with the Make America Great agenda."

9. When the Indiana Primary in 2024?
Pence has about a 50-50 chance of carrying his own state in the next Republican Presidential primary.
They guy must be truly dense. If he wanted to be heir apparent to the Trump mob, he would have refused to seat the delegations from the contested states and anointed the Orange menace as he was instructed. No way the rabid Trump folks are going to forget Pence's failure to keep their sovereign in power. ![]() ![]() |

11. GOP lawmaker who voted to overturn election launches 'election integrity' caucus
![]() By Emily Singer -April 7, 2021 12:40 PM Rep. Mike Garcia (R-CA) was one of 147 congressional Republicans who voted to block certification of President Joe Biden's election win. Reps. Mike Garcia (R-CA) and Claudia Tenney (R-NY) announced on Tuesday that they are launching the "Election Integrity Caucus" in Congress, a group the pair of lawmakers say intends to fight against election reform measures that Democrats are seeking to pass. Garcia is one of the 147 Republicans who voted to block President Joe Biden's victory from being certified, even after a mob of Donald Trump-supporting insurrectionists breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Tenney was not yet sworn in on the day of the insurrection, but she later told a New York news outlet she may have voted against certifying Biden's win in Pennsylvania if given the chance, saying she would have been "torn" because we "didn't really get to the bottom" of what happened in the 2020 election. Published with permission of The American Independent Foundation. Why not put a billboard up in these two fascist supporting districts that say these two jerks don't want your vote to count, so they started a gaslight party...called The Authoritarian Caucus .......... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

22. Sound like Pence has found a sure fire way to lose 2024. Shoot yourself in the foot. By 2024....

33. "policies of the last four years that created restored respect for America abroad"???
![]() ![]() ![]() What a hilarious lie. He knows it's a lie. No-one respected Trump and his cronies such as Pence; the decent people abroad were appalled by what they did, and the wankers like Putin saw it and thought "how can I use Trump again"? Facts: U.S. Image Plummets Internationally as Most Say Country Has Handled Coronavirus Badly
Ratings for Trump remain poor Since Donald Trump took office as president, the image of the United States has suffered across many regions of the globe. As a new 13-nation Pew Research Center survey illustrates, America’s reputation has declined further over the past year among many key allies and partners. In several countries, the share of the public with a favorable view of the U.S. is as low as it has been at any point since the Center began polling on this topic nearly two decades ago. ![]() ![]() https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/09/15/us-image-plummets-internationally-as-most-say-country-has-handled-coronavirus-badly/ |
