Mike Pence and Donald Trump have been feuding ever since the 2020 election.
The two finally came face to face.
And Mike Pence broke his silence on this confrontation with Donald Trump.
Mike Pence and Donald Trump spoke for the first time in four years at Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
Trump approached Pence to shake his hand even though Pence lied about Trump throughout the 2024 campaign, falsely claiming that Trump tried to shred the Constitution in challenging the 2020 election and that Trump was unfit for office.
Trump once again proved his haters wrong by taking the high road and being the one to break the ice with Pence.
The two spoke briefly before Trump and incoming First Lady Melania Trump made their way to their seats.
Pence revealed what he and Trump spoke about in an interview with left-wing activist Russell Moore on the Christianity Today podcast.
The interaction was brief as Pence said he congratulated Trump on his election win, to which Trump responded with gratitude.
“He greeted me when he came down the aisle. I stood up, extended my hand. He shook my hand. I said, ‘Congratulations, Mr. President,’ and he said, ‘Thanks, Mike,’” Pence recounted.
But what everyone really wanted to know about was what Karen Pence was thinking when she refused to stand up, say hello and shake hands with Donald and Melania Trump.
Moore asked about Karen Pence’s snub of the Trumps.
Pence replied that he didn’t want to speak for his wife but hinted that Karen Pence is one of the establishment figures who thinks that Trump is a criminal – or worse – based on what happened in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
“You’d have to ask my wife about her posture, but we’ve been married 44 years, and she loves her husband, and her husband respects her deeply,” Pence stated.
Pence tried to put a positive spin on his face to face with Trump, saying it helped move past “difficult days” as Pence clearly wants a future in the GOP and knows there is no room for a critic of Trump, especially one who bought into the January 6 hoax.
“The opportunity to speak to the president yesterday is something that I appreciated, I welcomed,” Pence added.
“I’ve really been blessed at how much I’ve heard from people around the country who saw [our] handshake, and in that handshake, saw some hope that we might be moving past those difficult days. That’s certainly my hope,” Pence concluded.
When you go to a wedding, and you run into someone you don’t like, you politely say hello, and move on. Because you’re an adult.
Karen Pence blanked the President-elect and his wife… in a church… at a funeral… as a Christian….

Had Donald Trump not won the 2024 election, the next time he and Pence saw each other would have been under very different circumstances.
Pence was set to serve as Jack Smith’s star witness in the January 6 trial Smith planned to stage had Trump lost to Kamala Harris.
