Former Vice President Mike Pence established another point of difference between his political ideology and that of his top Republican presidential primary rival, former President Donald Trump, in a speech titled"Populism vs. Conservatism: Republicans' Time for Choosing," on Wednesday afternoon.
"Today, I ask my fellow Republicans this: In the days to come, will we be the party of conservatism or will our party follow the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles?" Trump claimed he wanted to"terminate" the Constitution in a Truth Social post he wrote in December 2022."A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump posted, claiming election interference in the 2020 election. But days later he reversed course."The Fake News is actually trying to convince the American People that I said I wanted to ‘terminate’ the Constitution.
"Donald Trump, along with his populist followers and imitators, some of whom are also seeking the Republican presidential nomination, often sound like an echo of the progressive they would replace in the White House," he continued."They argue that we can only end our crises at home by abandoning our allies abroad."
Pence also took aim at Gov. Ron DeSantis , Trump's closest competitor in the field, over his ongoing battle with Disney."Like progressives, the Republican populists insist government should dictate how private businesses operate," Pence said, according to prepared remarks."The Governor of Florida even used the power of the state to punish corporations for taking a political stand he disagreed with.
