Pence pushes back against DeSantis comment that Ukraine war with Russia is ‘territorial dispute’
Fox News
Former Vice President Mike Pence sharply disagrees with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis description of the bloody war between Ukraine and Russia as a “territorial dispute"
Pence made his comments in an interview on "New Hampshire Today," a morning news-talk radio program in the state that holds the second contest in the GOP presidential nominating calendar. Pence’s response came after he was asked by host Chris Ryan about DeSantis' comments that protecting Ukraine is not a "vital" national interest for America.
While many in the GOP’s traditional hawkish wing firmly back supporting Ukraine and criticize President Biden’s administration for not doing enough to assist Kyiv, they face an increasingly more vocal wing of anti-war voices from the MAGA wing of the party that’s led by former President Donald Trump, who remains the front-runner in the early legs of the GOP presidential nomination race.
