Mike Pence just reminded everyone what a punk he really is

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

It isn’t easy sometimes to know what to make of specific individuals. These individuals make such bizarre statements and engage in such moronic behavior that listening to them can be exhausting. Former Vice President Mike Pence is such a person.

Pence (weak, insurrection party, Indiana) has come out with a forceful Op-ed about President Biden and the situation in Afghanistan. I want to focus on one specific thing the former VP said because it makes no sense and underscores how clueless the man is.

Here is a quote from Mr. Pence: “Weakness arouses evil — and the magnitude of evil now rising in Afghanistan speaks volumes about the weakness of Mr. Biden.”

Take those words in, my friends.

Those words were written by a man who still to this day cozies up to an insurrectionist who apparently saw no issues with his own followers wanting to hang this man.

The resentment still persists, and many in the MAGA world hate Pence and consider him a traitor.

But because he wants to be President — a job he will never have — Pence cannot speak out about what I am sure must have been a genuinely frightening time.

Instead, he pretends. He pretends all is fine with the former guy. He pretends MAGA loves him. He also pretends the former administration actually had any idea of what they were doing.

The truth of the matter is Pence has forfeited the right to criticize the Biden administration.

He was VP to the worst President in the history of this country whose own supporters wanted Pence dead.

He radiates cowardice. He has put aside his own values to be a suck-up to a man who doe not give a damn about him in the hopes that one day he might be the guy sitting where Biden sits now — in the highest office in the land.

But it will not and cannot happen for Pence. It cannot happen because everybody has seen his cowardice.

He is the object of derision and scorn. We want brave leaders, not cowardly pretenders. Pence has the right to say whatever he wants, but he should not be surprised when nobody takes him seriously, including his own party.
