Former Vice President Mike Pence touted what he said he and former President Donald Trump were able to accomplish during their four years in office as he headlined an event on 29 April in Columbia, South Carolina, hosted by the Palmetto Family Council, a South Carolina social conservative Christian group.
In his first public speech since leaving office, which, incidentally, coincided with President Joe Biden’s 100th day in office, he decried the Biden administration’s “far-left agenda”.
“But how times have changed. In just 100 days, the Biden-Harris administration has launched an avalanche of liberal policies that threaten to derail all the progress that we made.”
Pence slammed a spate of policy moves carried out by the Biden-Harris administration.
These include abolishing the 1776 commission – an advisory committee established in 2020 by Trump to support what he called “patriotic education”; authorized teaching Critical Race Theory in federal agencies and public schools, and a proposed reversal of the Trump-era family planning policy that stripped federal funds from clinics that refer patients for abortions, in a move that led Planned Parenthood to withdraw from the program known as Title X.
Mike Pence, who was the 50th governor of Indiana from 2013 to 2017, went on to underscore a plethora of “achievements” of Trump’s tenure, such as a succession of conservative judicial appointments, the Operation Warp Speed vaccine program, and foreign policy “achievements” like the so-called Abraham Accords, the official name of normalization deal between the Zionist entity and several Arab states including UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
Summing up his stint in office alongside Donald Trump, he said:
“It was four years of consequence, four years of results and four years of promises made and promises kept.”
