'There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin. There is only room for champions of freedom,' Pence said.
NEW ORLEANS -- Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday condemned Republican"apologists" who have used positive language to describe Russian President Vladimir Putin amid his invasion of Ukraine, according to a source who was in the room as Pence spoke to top GOP donors,"There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin. There is only room for champions of freedom," Pence said.
According to his prepared remarks, which the source said he did not deviate from Friday, Pence called on the Biden administration to take stronger actions against Russia, including sanctions on the country's oil exports. "We must demand this administration increases military spending immediately, Ukraine with lethal weapons to counter Russian armor and aircraft and President Biden should sanction all Russian oil exports worldwide," Pence said.
"Yesterday, reporters asked me if I thought President Putin is smart. I said, 'Of course, he's smart,'" Trump told the crowd in Orlando, Florida.
