WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Mike Pence is expected to tell Republicans that “there is no room in this party for apologists for Putin” during an upcoming event with the party's top donors.
Pence will direct his comments toward members of the GOP who have failed to take Russian President Vladimir Putin to task for his brutal assault on Ukraine, according to excerpts from a speech Pence will give Friday evening. The excerpts also indicate Pence will urge the party to move on from the 2020 presidential election.
“Where would Russian tanks be today if NATO had not expanded the borders of freedom? There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin,” Pence will say. “There is only room for champions of freedom.”
