WASHINGTON (AP) — A growing number of Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence, criticized Donald Trump on Monday for dining with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and the rapper formerly known as Kanye West days after launching his third campaign for the White House.

Pence, in an interview, called on Trump to apologize and said the former president had “demonstrated profoundly poor judgment” when he met last week at his Mar-a-Lago club with West, who is now known as Ye, as well as Nick Fuentes, a far-right activist with a long history of espousing antisemitic and white nationalist views.

The episode is serving as an early test of whether party leaders will continue to rally behind Trump as he embarks on yet another campaign for the White House after they have spent much of the last eight years being asked to respond to the controversies he’s created.

1. It's nice seeing even a mediocre ant outmaneuver the elephant

but as with all things Pence, it won't amount to a hill of beans.

2. What is it that Pence doesn't understand that

“Trump tried to have you hung”?

3. Has his decision to testify not been final?

4. So, is Pence OK with the 'burn the women alive' guy?

Asking for a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, lover, wife, boss, ...

5. Performative bullshit, Penceypoo.

[Bayard]

6. HA!

Like TFG is going to listen to you? I once heard Pence referred to as a potted plant. That still sounds apt.

7. Hard as it is to believe, this guy is way worse than...

... just being anti-semitic (which, of course is beyond horrible). Rachel did us the favor of showing us we could still be shocked. This is getting scarier and scarier.

14. Thanks (eeeeps) for this. I missed part of this particular show of hers...

This man is even worst than I knew! Gah.

[11 Bravo]

8. Mikey, Mikey, Mikey. You made goo-goo eyes at the miserable bastard for 4 years.

You know as well as anyone that Trump NEVER apologizes!

[Solly Mack]

9. Pence also defended Trump's remarks about Charlottesville.

Pence is the same POS he has always been. He's just on the same bandwagon as everyone else looking to stop Trump so they have a better chance for the GOP nomination or for a less obvious racist to run.
