MAGA melts down after Mike Pence breaks with Trump over his 'slush fund': 'Go to hell'
Fans of President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement melted down on Sunday after Trump's former vice president sharply criticized one of Trump's major initiatives. Mike Pence, who was vice president during Trump's first term, told NBC's "Meet the Press" that Trump's idea to create a nearly $1.8 billion fund to pay victims of alleged government abuse is "deeply offensive." He said the fund, which was created as part of a settlement agreement between Trump and the IRS for a lawsuit over Trump's tax returns being leaked, is a stark example of how far "departed" Trump has become from traditional conservative values. “I think that the weaponization fund is a bad idea from the start, and I would encourage the administration just to drop it,” Pence said during the interview on Sunday. Pence's comments sparked swift backlash from MAGA fans online. "Go to hell, Judas Pence," Mike Engleman, a MAGA political commentator, posted on X. "Nobody cares what that POS loser thinks," Phillip Buchanan, a MAGA personality who goes by "Catturd" on social media, posted on X. "Who cares what Mike Pence thinks?" Amy Curtis, a writer at Townhall, posted on X.
