Pence visits Ukraine border in Poland
Source: The Hill
Former Vice President Mike Pence visited the Ukraine border and met with refugees flooding into Poland amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, as Vice President Harris is also in Poland touting U.S. support for its NATO allies.
Pence, who was accompanied by his wife, former second lady Karen Pence, traveled with the evangelical Christian humanitarian organization the Samaritan's Purse and the group's vice president of operations, Edward Graham, the son of the group's president and evangelical pastor Franklin Graham.
In a tweet, Pence called the impact of Russia's invasion "heartbreaking" for refugee families, and encouraged people to donate to Samaritan's Purse and other relief organizations.
"Lets stand together as one with the people of Ukraine," Pence said.

(70,476 posts)Pence, "The impact of the Russian invasion on these families is heartbreaking and the need for support is great. We
encourage everyone to pray and contribute to @SamaritansPurse and other relief organizations today. Lets stand
together as one with the people of Ukraine."

(70,476 posts)Pence knew that TFG was put into the White House by Russia and he was put into the V.P.'s office
by Putin (the father of the Ukraine war) via Paul Manafort. The administration he was part of actively
tried to weaken Ukraine's defenses and to strengthen Putin's claim over the Ukraine. Pence also
supported TFG's claim that he did not try to blackmail Zelenskyy.

(20,159 posts)if Trump runs, or he is hoping to run himself in 2024. Remember the shit storm of GOP candidates that ran in 2016? It's going to be that all over again in 2024.
DarthDem
(5,255 posts)In which, sitting at the Reagan Library, he claimed that Putin was a stronger leader than Obama?
Well, I hope his visit actually helps some people and isn't solely meant to keep his name out there. The latter is definitely part of the visit, but perhaps the organization he's traveling with can provide some valuable assistance to those who need it, regardless of his showboating.

No. Of course not.

(13,583 posts)That's why I think he's up to something. There's no political future for him, so he's somehow undermining democracy.
Collimator
(1,639 posts)Just weeks ago, he had no political future. He was anathema to the extreme Trumpists and unimpressive to anyone in his party who was more moderate. But now Trump's love of Putin is making him look bad to the moderates and Pence sees an opportunity to position himself to the pious who have at least some pity for the Ukrainians.
This horrible war is a god-send for Mike Pence. And yes, I know how awful that term is in this context.
