Pence Gets Chilly with CNN: Chill Out, MAGA’s Got Love! 🇺🇸❤️😅

TL:DR; Mike Pence brushes off concerns about passionate Trump supporters being “dangerous,” leaving CNN’s Dana Bash a bit lost for words. Pence stands by MAGA, stresses patriotism, but remains coy about Trump’s insurrection role. 🤷🤔

Mike Pence, the former Vice President under the flamboyant Donald Trump reign, made it clear he’s not losing any sleep over Trump’s ominous warning about passionate MAGA voters. The statement? That things might get “very dangerous” if Trump found himself behind bars over the Jan. 6 insurrection debacle. But Pence? Cool as a cucumber. 🥒💤

“Why the zen, Mike?” you might wonder. 🧘🤷

Here’s the scoop: In a recent chit-chat with CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday’s State of the Union, Pence exuded all the confidence, stating, “Everyone in our movement are the kind of Americans who love this country, are patriotic or law-and-order people who would never have done anything like that there or anywhere else.” So, according to Pence, those MAGA hats? They’re more about love for the country than mob mentality. 💖🧢

However, Dana Bash wasn’t quite ready to let him off the hook, reminding Pence about that slightly nerve-wracking day when some of the passionate Trump supporters kind of…wanted to hang him. (Yikes?!) 😅🙈

Pence didn’t waver. He urged the CNN anchor not to paint everyone with the same “dangerous” brush, emphasizing that the people in the Trump movement are, in his words, “the most God-fearing, law-abiding, patriotic people in this country.” But when asked about Trump’s possible hand in the violence? Pence played it close to the chest, hinting that while Trump’s words might have been “reckless,” he’s not convinced they were “criminal.” 😇🤨

So, the burning question on everyone’s lips: What’s next for the Trump movement? And for those really wanting to dive into the rabbit hole, did Trump’s words cross over from reckless banter to criminal conduct? Pence seems to think maybe not. But where do you stand? 🕵️‍♂️🎙

Question to ponder: With Pence putting so much faith in the MAGA movement, does it shine a new light on the events of Jan. 6 or simply fan the flames of ongoing debate? 🤔🔥
