“We are in a battle for the soul of America, but it’s a battle between liberty and tyranny,” Pence said.
Vice President Mike Pence said he agrees with Joe Biden that the country is in a"battle for the soul," but they thought the country was facing vastly different threats, the vice president said on Friday. He was among the featured speakers at the annual Leadership Forum for the National Rifle Association's lobbying arm, the Institute for Legislative Action , in Indianapolis.
"We are in a battle," Pence continued. "We are in a battle for the soul of America, but it's a battle between liberty and tyranny. As the president has said before, it's a battle between independence and government control. And ultimately, it's a battle between freedom and socialism." Pence claimed that"we live in a time when freedom is under assault" and that"the freedom to live, to work, and to worship God are all being threatened by the radical left every day."Addressing the crowd before keynote speaker President Donald Trump at the NRA convention, Pence focused on socialism, an attack that Republicans have been heavily invoking in recent months.
The speeches by Trump and Pence seemed to carry the atmosphere of a campaign rally, with both touting the accomplishments of the administration and attacking Democrats and their policies.
