“Well, who wrote these softball questions?” Pence jokingly said to Cheney as the former VP pressed him on Trump's isolationist tactics.
Former vice president Richard B. Cheney challenged Vice President Mike Pence over Donald Trump’s foreign policy decisions during a private gathering on Saturday, where he compared the president's isolationist tactics to those of former Democratic President Barack Obama's.
Cheney continued the chat by hammering Pence with questions about Trump’s nationalistic foreign policies, to which the unwavering Trump ally reportedly responded firmly and with care. At one point, the initially light-hearted catch-up descended into such a heated confrontation that Pence jokingly asked Cheney, “well, who wrote these softball questions?”
Pence defended the move, revealing to the former vice president that the Defense Department was certain it would “not affect our readiness in South Korea.” “I think there is a tendency by critics of the president and our administration to conflate the demand that our allies live up to their word and their commitments and an erosion in our commitment to the post-World War II order,” Pence said.
