Pence made these remarks during a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson at The Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa.<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<p>During the interview, Pence discussed various topics including the state of America&#8217;s economy under President Joe Biden, the events of January 6, the 2020 election, and America&#8217;s involvement in arming Ukraine against Russia.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was Pence&#8217;s unwavering support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stimulus-update-direct-500-payments-for-more-than-300-families-to-be-sent-in-24-days\/\" title=\"Stimulus update: Direct 0 payments for more than 300 families to be sent in 24 days\">providing financial aid<\/a> to Ukraine that drew boos from the crowd. Tucker Carlson questioned why Pence seemed more focused on the well-being of Ukrainians than American citizens.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Tucker: \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Mr. Vice President. You are distressed that the Ukrainians don\u2019t have enough American tanks? Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years. Drive around. There\u2019s not one city that\u2019s gotten better. And it\u2019s visible.

He highlighted issues such as a degraded economy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/their-product-is-killing-teenage-girls-joe-scarborough-pins-blame-on-congress-in-emotionally-charged-anti-facebook-rant\/\" title=\"\u2018Their Product Is Killing Teenage Girls!\u2019: Joe Scarborough Pins Blame On Congress In Emotionally-Charged Anti-Facebook Rant\">increased suicide rates<\/a>, public disorder, and crime. Carlson questioned why Pence prioritized Ukraine, a country that most people can&#8217;t locate on a map, over the well-being of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Pence responded by saying, &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s not my concern.&#8221; He emphasized that he is running for president because he believes the country is in trouble and that Joe Biden has weakened America both domestically and internationally. Pence pledged to restore law and order, secure the border, revive the economy, and appoint judges who will protect the rights enshrined in the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>The interview also delved into a heated debate about Ukraine&#8217;s alleged violation of religious liberties. Pence defended Ukraine, stating that he raised the issue of religious liberty but maintained that the country had done nothing wrong.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Heated Exchange Between Tucker Carlson And Mike Pence On Religious Liberty In Ukraine<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: \u201cI would think that you would have greater concern for religious liberty in Ukraine, and I\u2019m surprised by your answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pence: \u201cI told you I raised the issue of religious liberty.\u201d\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MIQckt2jm4\">pic.twitter.com\/MIQckt2jm4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Columbia Bugle  (@ColumbiaBugle) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ColumbiaBugle\/status\/1679917856111067143?\">July 14, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier in the interview, the discussion turned to Pence&#8217;s role in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol incident. Carlson pressed Pence to label it an &#8220;insurrection,&#8221; but Pence described it as a tragic day and a riot rather than an insurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Pence expressed his sorrow for the loss of life and condemned the violence and vandalism that took place. He called for those responsible to be held accountable, including those involved in the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. Pence also criticized the partisan House Select Committee tasked with investigating January 6, stating that it failed to bring forth the facts.<\/p>\n<p>While Pence acknowledged that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-led-committee-accuses-trump-of-an-attempted-coup-gop-points-to-crises-at-hand\/\" title=\"Democrat-Led Committee Accuses Trump Of An \u2018Attempted Coup,\u2019 GOP Points To Crises At Hand\">committee focused<\/a> too much on Donald Trump, he also criticized the former president for his &#8220;reckless&#8221; words on that day. Pence believes that history will hold Trump accountable for his actions.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the interview highlighted the contrasting priorities of Mike Pence and Tucker Carlson, with Pence emphasizing his commitment to restoring America&#8217;s strength and Carlson questioning his focus on Ukraine over the well-being of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tucker-carlson-confronts-mike-pence-tanks-ukraine-us-cities-rot-receives-shocking-response\/\">Tucker Carlson Confronts Mike Pence on Tanks to Ukraine While US Cities Rot, Receives Shocking Response<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidential candidate Mike Pence faced backlash after seemingly dismissing America&#8217;s decline as his worry.
