The AP reported that on Friday evening at an RNC party in New Orleans, Pence told donors there is no room in the party for "apologists for Putin," or for focusing on the 2020 election loss.
These are two blows aimed directly at Donald Trump's face.
Trump continually praises the Russian president as "smart" and "genius" as he invades Ukraine\and never shuts up about his election defeat in 2020.
“Where would Russian tanks be today if NATO had not expanded the borders of freedom? There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin,” Pence said.
Trump has repeatedly told his followers and the country that if Pence had done his bidding, they could have illegally overthrown the 2020 election.
Pence said, “My fellow Republicans, we can only win if we are united around an optimistic vision for the future based on our highest values. We cannot win by fighting yesterday’s battles, or by relitigating the past.”
He has previously stated publicly that he and Trump will never see "eye to eye" over the insurrection.
What we do know from the excellent investigating by the Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection is that Trump knew he'd lost, and enacted with a plot to spit on his oath of office and try to seize power illegally after'd he lost by almost 8 million votes.
