Former Vice President Mike Pence faced a grilling from Tucker Carlson in their recent interview, and boy, did things get heated! These two conservative heavyweights butted heads on a range of topics, from aid to Ukraine to the integrity of our elections. And let me tell you, it was like watching a wrestling match – without the spandex, of course.
WATCH: Tucker Carlson DESTROYS Mike Pence for giving Ukraine the priority treatment over America.

One of the major issues that Pence and Carlson locked horns over was the treatment of Christians in Ukraine. Carlson didn’t hold back, demanding to know why Pence wasn’t doing more to protect religious liberty in the country. And you know what? He had a point! As conservatives, we stand up for freedom of religion, no matter where it’s threatened. But hey, maybe Pence was just caught off guard. We all have those moments, right?

Then things took a turn to the wild side as Carlson brought up the events of January 6th and the 2020 election. He wanted Pence to reassure the public that the voting process was legitimate. And honestly, who could blame him? The American people deserve to have confidence in our elections. But instead of giving a straight answer, Pence danced around the question, mentioning so-called “irregularities” in the election. Now, I’m not saying he’s wrong, but come on, Pence, just give us some reassurance!
But the biggest bombshell came when Pence actually criticized former President Trump for his actions on January 6th. Can you believe it? Our own vice president throwing our leader under the bus. Talk about stabbing someone in the back! Of course, Pence claimed it was to protect his family and himself, but we all know it’s just plain old politics.
Luckily, there was some light at the end of this tumultuous tunnel. Pence expressed confidence in the American election system – although I’m not entirely convinced. But hey, he did support recent election integrity reforms led by Republicans, so kudos to him for that. And he even mentioned the idea of requiring photo IDs for voting! Now that’s something I can get behind. Let’s make sure every vote counts and is cast by a legal, photo ID-wielding citizen.
In the end, it’s clear that Pence and Carlson had a lot to hash out in their interview. As conservatives, we expect our leaders to stand up for religious liberty, ensure the integrity of our elections, and put America first. But it seems like Pence may have missed the mark on a few of these issues. Let’s hope he takes this interview as a learning opportunity and gets back to fighting the good fight for conservative values. Stay strong, my fellow conservatives!
