Pence worked under former U.S. President Donald Trump. Advertisement: In late June 2022, Pence was being interviewed by Fox Business Network host Larry Kudlow.

I\'m being very polite > here, calling it falsehoods -- falsehoods, you know, on any given day. He\'s > out there saying stuff that just ain\'t true. Have you ever seen anything > like that? > > Pence: Never in my lifetime. I said today that there has never been a time > in my life where a president was more disconnected from the American people > than we see today.
