The vice president also criticized a number of 2020 candidates, including Bernie Sanders, who have sounded off on their support for socialism.
“Remarkably, a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination is an avowed socialist, but it’s not just him,” he explained. “Bernie’s (Sanders) been joined by a chorus of candidates and newly elected officials, who have papered over the failed policies of socialism with bumper sticker slogans and slick social media campaigns.”
Pence said America is facing a choice between freedom and socialism. The vice president firmly said, “American people will choose freedom every single time.”
