About Pence and that meeting with Ukraine's Zelensky a few weeks ago in Poland

It is quite interesting looking back on it now.





VP Pence met with Ukraine's Zelensky a few weeks ago in Poland, sitting in for Pres. Trump, who couldn't make the trip. The meeting was in a windowless hotel room. Bolton sat silent, Sec. Perry there, too, as pool reporters were brought int. Zelensky kept bouncing his knees...

I was the pool reporter in the room. VP Pence did not respond to questions, including questions from reporters about whether the Trump administration would still allocate $250 million in planned security aid to Ukraine.

As Bolton looked on, VP Pence said that he could assure Zelensky "that we will continue to stand with the people of Ukraine on your security, on territorial integrity," but didn't get into details.

Zelensky said his administration is poised to "defeat corruption."

A day later, VP Pence took questions at a news conference. Pay attention to this response to a question from AP's @colvinj
. Full remarks at the link.

I disagree with Bolton on pretty much everything, but he rarely, if ever, panders.

Throw Pence under the bus, blame him, claim it was all his fault and Nikki Haley will come in as VP.

Just kidding. He’ll still kiss Trump’s ass after being dumped, just like everyone else.
