Tucker Carlson Just Destroyed Mike Pence’s 2024 Campaign

In the rough-and-tumble world of politics, every stance counts, every word can tip the balance. And for Mike Pence, his defense of Ukraine might just be the iceberg that suks his 2024 presidential campaign.

At the recent GOP candidate summit, Tucker Carlson and Pence butted heads over Ukraine.

Now, we all know Tucker hasn’t minced his words about the country and America’s support for its war with Russia. He’s questioned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s commitment to religious liberty.

Pence, however, stands on the other side of the fence, adamantly advocating for U.S. aid to Ukraine.

Pence was unflinching: “I believe that it is in the interest of the United States of America to continue to give the Ukrainian military the resources they need to repel the Russian invasion and restore their sovereignty.”

Well, folks, those were the words that echoed through a storm of boos – the first of the day.

See it for yourself:

"That's not my concern."

Tucker Carlson effectively ends Mike Pence's presidential ambitions when he asks him to choose between helping America's failing cities or sending billions in aid to Ukraine.

Heated Exchange Between Tucker Carlson And Mike Pence On Religious Liberty In Ukraine

Tucker Carlson has just effectively ripped off the "nice guy" mask that Mike Pence has worn for years and exposed him for the NeoCon prick that he actually is.

The tension only spiked as the debate went on.

Tucker called out Zelenskyy for allegedly arresting priests for dissenting views.

Pence countered, insistent on his belief, based on discussions with religious leaders, that such acts were not taking place.

His retort to Tucker’s questioning was as stark as it was firm: “The problem is you won’t accept my answer.”

Here’s how NBC reported on Pence’s terrible answers:

But it was Pence’s stance on Ukraine that proved to be the most controversial.

The two argued over whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government was respecting religious liberty. While on Fox News, Carlson was frequently critical of Ukraine and U.S. support for the country in the war with Russia.

Pence outlined his position saying, “I believe that it is in the interest of the United States of America to continue to give the Ukrainian military the resources that they need to repel the Russian invasion and restore their sovereignty.”

Those comments elicited boos from the audience — the first of the day.

The exchange then escalated when Tucker continued to insist Zelenskyy had “arrested priests for having views they disagree with.” Pence repeatedly pushed back, saying he had asked religious leaders about this issue during his trip to the country in June and was told it was not happening.

Pence cut in firmly, “The problem is you won’t accept my answer.”

Pence has leaned into his support for Ukraine during his presidential run, distinguishing himself from some of his rivals — including former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — who have been far more critical of U.S. involvement there.

People have taken to social media to declare that Mike Pence’s 2024 campaign is now dead.

This proves that Tucker Carlson is still one of the most powerful people in media, even if he is no longer on Fox News!

Tucker Carlson just brutalized Mike Pence for prioritizing Ukraine despite a litany of social ills afflicting America:

Tucker: "Where's the concern for the United States?"

Pence is seen as the “nice guy.”

But that didn’t stop conservatives from mercilessly booing him.

It turns out that Americans want their presidential candidates to focus on America!

Forbes confirms that Mike Pence was brutally booed:

Former Vice President Mike Pence clashed with Tucker Carlson Friday when he defended his ongoing support for the U.S.’ involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war, eliciting boos from the crowd.

Pence said he believes “that it is in the interests of the United States of America to continue to give the Ukrainian military the resources they need” during an interview with the ex-Fox News host at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa, prompting boos from the crowd.

The crowd cheered when Carlson challenged Pence’s stance, asking, “Where’s the concern for the United States in that?” and claiming, “Every city in the United States has become much worse in the last three years.”

So what do you think?

Do you think Tucker Carlson just ended Mike Pence’s campaign?
