Mike Pence loves Garfield, a fat, lazy, cynical orange bully. I guess he has a type.
Former Vice President Mike Pence said in a new interview with ABC News that he's not interested in trading insults with former President Donald Trump, who has been criticizing Pence online and on the campaign trail – especially in the wake of Trump’s latest indictment.
In a sit-down in Ankeny, Iowa, ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis pointed to one recent social media post from Trump that accused Pence of going to the "dark side."
"How do you respond to that?" Davis asked in a clip from the interview, which will air on Monday night.
"Well, I don't," Pence replied, shaking his head and chuckling. "Look, I know the former president pretty well. I think more and more Americans every day are getting to know us, getting to know our lifetime of commitment to the conservative agenda. And I'm very heartened by the fact and you saw it at the Iowa State Fair this week how many people come up to us on a regular basis and thank us for the stand that we took on that fateful day [on Jan. 6]."
"So I'll be taking my record to the American people, and the president can continue to do what he does: He can continue to hold forth and level his broadsides," Pence told Davis. "But for me, I'm not going to engage in negative personal attacks."
