While his visit was centered around free speech, the former vice president also advocated supporting the Ukrainian people and called Russia's invasion an 'unconscionable war of aggression.'
On Tuesday evening, former Vice President Mike Pence praised Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy, criticized President Biden and"cancel culture" and said he would tell his child,"I love you" if his son or daughter came out as gay.
While his visit was centered around free speech and was billed as"How to Save America from the Woke Left," he also advocated supporting the Ukrainian people and called Russia's invasion an"unconscionable war of aggression." "Under the Trump-Pence administration, we actually achieved things that conservatives had only talked about for generations," he said."We did it all by standing strong for freedom."
"Politically, his focus is on the midterms and making sure we win back both chambers of Congress and more governors' mansions," former Pence chief of staff Marc Short told CBS News when asked if Pence's visit is the prelude to a 2024 presidential campaign."This is not part of a presidential run."
