The former vice president criticized Donald Trump on broad philosophical grounds in a speech in the first primary state.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Mike Pence made some of his sharpest criticisms yet of Donald Trump — and those he calls Trump's “imitators” in the GOP primary — in a Wednesday speech on the battle between conservatism and populism in the Republican Party.
“The growing faction would substitute our faith in limited government and traditional values with an agenda stitched together by little else than personal grievances and performative outrage,” Pence said of the populists in his party in the speech at St. Anselm College. “The truth is the Republican Party did not begin on a golden escalator in 2015,” Pence said in his speech, referring to Trump's first campaign announcement.
