Democratic presidential candidates line up to target Mike Pence after Biden’s ‘decent guy’ comment

Read our privacy policy It was the mildest of compliments from a predecessor: Joe Biden rather benignly described vice president Mike Pence as a “decent guy.” And that’s when the attacks began. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been more proud to be standing next to your desk than I am today,” Mr Pence said, saying his boss was “keeping your word by vetoing this legislation.” Nick Ayers, Mr Pence’s former chief of staff, said the vice president sometimes finds himself a political bullseye because he “works hard” to avoid taking credit for the work he does. In a telephone interview, Mr Buttigieg said he has two theories of what he views as Mr Pence’s evolution from a stalwart Christian conservative to Trump lackey – either Mr Pence “traded his sense of morality for power,” he said, or the vice president “has somehow persuaded himself that this is consistent with some divine plan.” “The president doesn’t really pretend that hard to uphold Christian values and so I think there’s a sense when he’s doing some of these outrageous things, that everybody’s in on the joke,” Mr Buttigieg said. But with Mr Pence, he added, “you don’t get that same sense.” White House officials said Mr Buttigieg and other Democrats are only trying to raise their profiles by sharpening their attacks on Mr Pence, a strategy they say alienates millions of Christian voters.
