The ongoing feud between former President Donald Trump and his old right-hand man and vice president Mike Pence is soon to undoubtedly come to a dramatic head, likely in the former of a Trump temper tantrum, after the news broke today that Pence has thrown his public support and endorsement behind an Arizona gubernatorial candidate who is the direct rival to Donald Trump’s favorite pick.
Speaking with the Washington Post recently, Pence said that Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Karrin Taylor Robson is “the best choice for Arizona’s future.” Robson just so happens to be the direct opponent of Kari Lake, who is also running for governor in AZ and has already been fully endorsed by Pence’s scandal-ridden former boss.
“As Arizona Democrats pursue the reckless Biden-Harris agenda, Karrin Taylor Robson is the only candidate for governor that will keep Arizona’s border secure and streets safe, empower parents and create great schools, and promote conservative values,” Pence told the publication in a statement on his endorsement.
Mike Pence first earned his former boss’ unyielding ire when he refused to go along with Donald Trump’s unhinged and illegal plan to use Pence as a tool to refuse the certification of the Electoral College votes in Joe Biden’s favor in the 2020 presidential election.

In an additional tweet, Robson wrote, “Modern politics is full of charlatans & fakes, but VP Pence is the genuine article. He has never wavered in his conservative beliefs & commitment to our Constitution, & left a rock-solid legacy as Gov to which I will aspire. Thank you for your support @Mike_Pence!”
