Former Vice President Mike Pence, in Manchester, New Hampshire, Wednesday morning for a speaking appearance, took the opportunity to defend the FBI, saying, “We can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision that he made without attacking rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI. Attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.”

Pence is testing the waters for 2024 and perhaps he needs to be clear in his support for law enforcement. Trump could end up being his political adversary in 2024, and that’s something to keep in mind when listening to anything he says now about Trump and the FBI. Especially if it's said in front of the January 6 kangaroo court.

Mike Pence is my longtime friend, but he might also want to remember that most Republican voters see a great need to reform the FBI, completely rejecting the idea of maintaining the status quo (swamp). We are NOT attacking the rank-and-file agents, most of whom must be mortified about what’s going on at the Bureau and the Department of ‘Justice.’” Certainly the upper levels of the FBI are out of control. Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan reported last week that 14 FBI whistleblowers have come forward. We wish them well. This is about a federal police agency run amok by tactics that reek more of the East German Stasi than the revered FBI. Criticism of what the agency has done in its political overreach and brute tactics against (exclusively) conservatives and Republicans is not lack of respect for the police, it’s the respect of a greater power—the Constitution which gives citizens protection against the very things the politicized and weaponized FBI and DOJ have come to be at their leadership levels.

Tucker Carlson, speaking on Laura Ingraham’s show Wednesday night, said, “It’s deranged. You can’t have a democracy if federal agencies are openly interfering in elections.” Yet, they have, while pointing fingers at Republicans as being a “threat to democracy.”

“If you actually wanted to defend democracy,” he said, “which is a system of self-government, you would push back against government agencies trying to affect election outcomes, which is what they’re doing. This is nuts. And I guess Mike Pence in New Hampshire doesn’t see it.”

Pence should be stressing the need for reform at the 'Justice' Department. I wonder if most of the people slamming Republicans these days have ever even met one. Ingraham showed a tweet from British journalist Edward Luce saying, “I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous & contemptible than today’s Republicans. Nothing close.”

What?? Republicans are far worse than any of the extremist terrorists he’s encountered around the world? Is he out of his mind? Goodness, most Republicans just want to live in freedom, get along with people, have law and order and equal justice, find good jobs and raise our families. And it sure seems that we care vastly more about the Constitution and “our democracy” than those criticizing us do. That’s pretty much it. We want the government to stay out of most areas of our lives, as it’s simply none of their business. When did we become nihilists? I still say the left is projecting its own nihilism and hate onto us.

As Ingrahm showed, Gen. Michael Hayden re-tweeted what Luce had written, saying, “I agree. And I was the CIA Director.”

Recall that Hayden re-tweeted another bit of viciousness just the other day: a photo of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were executed in the 1950s after being found guilty of spying for Russia. He added, “That sounds about right,” meaning execution for Trump. This man ran the CIA, under George W. Bush. I don’t know how much he might have changed since then, but he’s Exhibit A for what has gone wrong with our out-of-control intel community. He’s delusional, suffering from “long TDS,” and needs to quarantine himself until he gets over it, if he ever does. He also should lock away his phone, as President Trump isn’t the only one who invites criticism for his mean tweets.

I’d like to issue a challenge to Gen. Hayden and, by extension, to Mr. Luce. Let's say we set up two rooms. Room #1 contains five people selected at random from the studio audience of my TBN weekend show, HUCKABEE. These almost certainly will be the conservative "today's Republicans" you loathe, who will probably want to greet you, tell you about their families, hear some of your stories and share homemade pie. (They might also say "bless your heart" and give you an earful about the CIA, but you need to hear it.) Room #2 contains five of the terrorists who hacked off journalist Daniel Pearl’s head with a dull, rusty blade.

Which room will you enter?

If you choose Room #2, well, at least you had the courage of your convictions. It was nice knowing you, and we hope you didn't suffer too much, though you probably did. If you choose Room #1, then you have to admit you were full of horse manure, apologize to all Republicans (a special apology to President Trump) for your crass stupidity, and refrain from tweeting forever.

    I guess you have to sense the desperation in these attacks of unbelievable hatred. It is worse than just Trump Syndrome. It seems the inability to truthfully enter into conversations about the attempt to fundamentally destroy our Constitutional Republic isn't as important as covering the trail of deep state corruption & extreme political party bias displayed in our FBI and DOJ. Thank God there are whistle blowers who are probably endangering their future careers and maybe even their very life. It is all so very, very, wrong and frightening! God have Mercy on our Nation!

    It’s very sobering to be identified with the group being labeled worse than the worst terrorists that have ever been encountered. I am a 64 year old white woman that believes in God and the inerrancy of His Word. I believe we’re on the precipice of His return to set things right at last. I pray for wisdom how to talk to and answer my children and grandchildren when they parrot the “woke” narrative that seeks to cancel me and those like me, and anyone else that disagrees with them. It’s confusion and deception, and the noise of it is deafening. I’m grateful to know they have a legacy of belief in the sovereignty of God and the power of prayer through my lineage of the family. His promises are true. Thank God He is faithful because we are Rome, and we are burning.

    Mike Pence needs to pull out of the race now before he embarrasses himself. He does not speak for the great majority of Republicans. How does he believe his desire to have Republicans support the FBI in general sits with Republicans who remember Strok? Has he listened to the interviews with former FBI on O`Reilly and Bongino? And how do his remarks make us feel any better about the 87,000 new auditors hired by the IRS when they just purchased 5,000,000 rounds of ammunition (source The Faulkner Factor)? It is time for Pence and other Republicans like him to wake up.

    Just more proof that there's a double standard in society. The left can hack away at their rivals, no hold barred. Have a conservative speak at a school board meeting and they're labeled terrorists, by their OWN government.

    The democratic party is pure evil these days. I don't believe in ridding the FBI, but true reform is needed. Totally agree with this, the swamp needs to be drained, then burned! Our Constitution is Not negotiable!

    Bush is just as much a RINO as Cheney and McCain, if not worse! Know how I can tell?!? EVERY picture you see his monkey ears in he's with the Oblahma's, Biden's and Clinton's. He and Crenshaw are two of the WORST traitors to the Conservative Party.

    Mike Pence can go screw himself. No room anywhere in America for a RINO. Period, End of story.

    I couldn’t disagree more with Pence. It’s in the culture of the FBI to be deceitful and manipulative and has been since it’s beginning. Further, I can support local police without supporting a corrupted federal agency !

    Mike should realized that the FBI morphed from a law enforcement agency into the state secret police under Robert Mueller following the 9-11 attack. The entire 7th floor at HQ needs a good flushing. Some of the street agents haven't been corrupted yet and are probably still okay.

    Advertise the room#1 and room#2 challenge as widespread as you can to all those who hate or despise former President Trump and Republicans in general. Maybe a new TicToc challenge, game show challenge and the possibilities are endless. Have all mainstream media participate, all Democrats participate and all members of the so called intelligence agencies. That show if aired on primetime could be scheduled several years out. Great idea Governor Huckabee, now get the ball rolling!!! The results and the viewer numbers may be a record breaker of most popular television show ever !!! (sarcasm !)
