Former Vice President Mike Pence was quizzed by Tucker Carlson on Friday as to whether or not he was concerned about the decline across American cities, including skyrocketing suicide rates and major economic decline. In response, he began, “That’s not my concern,” before going on to state he was running for President of the United States because he believes in addressing both domestic issues but also in continuing a costly proxy war against Russia, via Ukraine.
Pence, 64, was speaking at the The Blaze’s ‘Summit’ hosted by the former Fox News anchor, who pressed him on the wisdom of spending billions in Eastern Europe while “every city in America has become much worse.”
Tucker concluded, “Where’s the concern for the United States?” before Pence shot back, “That’s not my concern.”
Pence added: “Tucker I’ve heard that routine from you before but that’s not my concern. I’m running for President of the United States because I think this country’s in a lot of trouble… as President of the United States we’re gonna restore law and order in our cities, secure our border, get this economy moving again, make sure we have men and women on our courts at every level that will stand for our right to life… anybody who says we can’t be leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth. We can do both.”
His answer came moments after Tucker caught candidate Tim Scott urging more support in destroying Russia, also.
