CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Asks Point-Blank If Trump ‘Understands The Difference Between Good And Evil?’

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins asked former Vice President Mike Pence if he thinks former President Donald Trump “understands the difference between good and evil?”

Trump has fired off a scattershot barrage of criticisms since the coordinated terrorist assault by Hamas. He attacked Biden, lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli defense officials, and praised Hezbollah as “very smart.”

After receiving significant backlash, Trump began walking back his criticisms on his Truth Social account.

On Friday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Collins asked Pence about those statements. After Pence addressed the criticism of Netanyahu, Collins very pointedly pressed him to say whether Trump knows good from evil:

COLLINS: Trump also praised the Iran-backed militant group, Hezbollah, as very smart. Do you think he understands the difference between good and evil?

PENCE: Hezbollah is not very smart. Hezbollah is evil. And again, we —

COLLINS: Does Trump understand that?

PENCE: We need leaders, in this country — we need leaders, in this country, who will speak in moral terms, in these moments.

I mean, this is — I must tell you, look, during our four years together, I heard him often use flattering terms, to speak about authoritarian leaders. But I think it’s out of place, always, but especially now.

This is a dire moment. And we are on the cusp, of literally Israel leaning in, moving in ground forces, and hunting down, and destroying those, who would seek to destroy Israel.

And, I think, in this moment, we’ve got to send a clear and unambiguous message that we stand with Israel. And we stand against Hamas, and we stand against Hezbollah, we stand against any who would oppose her.

COLLINS: Former Vice President, Mike Pence, thank you, for your time, tonight.
