Donald Trump Jr. is not happy with former Vice President Mike Pence for criticizing his father.
Writing on Twitter, Trump Jr. reacted with fury after Pence accused GOP rivals including former President Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy of "signaling retreat from America's role as leader of the free world."
"When I'm president, we'll lead from American Strength," concluded Pence.
This aroused an apoplectic reaction from Trump Jr.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
"You’re the embodiment of the kind of weakness that led to this," he charged. "You should have paid attention when you were groveling at the feet of the master. Trump brought peace because the world knew — F around and find out! We’ll never return to the failed approach of you and your uniparty fools."
It is unclear what "master" that Pence was "groveling" before in Trump Jr.'s post.
Although Pence was once one of Trump's staunchest defenders, their relationship was permanently damaged after Pence refused to take the unconstitutional step of unilaterally throwing away certified election results and falsely declaring Trump the true winner of the 2020 election.
