Mike Pence is narrating a FOX News documentary glorifying Rush Limbaugh
If you thought the former VP was looking to abandon conservatism, you've got another thing coming.
By Juwan J. Holmes Sunday, March 7, 2021
Two months after being seconds away from violent insurrectionists storming the United States Capitol building while he and both houses of Congress were in session, former Vice President Mike Pence (R) is finally going to step out and be heard.
He’s not speaking on the events of January 6 though — he’s narrating a docuseries by FOX News Media on his inspiration, the late Rush Limbaugh.
Before beginning his political career, Mike Pence himself was a commentator and radio host, and Limbaugh was his inspiration. In 2001, he described himself as a “decaf Rush Limbaugh.”
“It is a literal truth, Mr. Speaker, to say that I am in Congress today because of Rush Limbaugh,” the then-first term Representative from Indiana told House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R) in 2001. Pence ran two failed campaigns for the U.S. House of Representatives seat then held by Rep. Phillip Sharp (D).
