A socialist agenda pushed by those on the left. Thats what mike pence is going to be doing, hes going to be fighting socialists full timeish, on a visiting basis. Congratulations, mr. Pence. Heres an unexpectedly awkward thing, though. The Heritage Foundation in this announcement today repeatedly describes their new hire as the former Vice President , and indeed, mr. Pence yesterday unveiled new letterhead, proclaiming that he has opened an office now, which he is calling the office of the former Vice President. The reason that is surprisingly awkward right now is that, no matter what he does with his post white house life, it is going to be hard for former Vice President mike pence to assert that he ever served in the administration of former president donald trump, because, apparently, were not supposed to admit there is such a thing as former president donald trump. Mike pence, so far, is happy to call himself the former vp. Donald trump is not calling himself the former president.
