BREAKING: Pence denounces RNC platform changes | LiveNOW from FOX
A new altered Republican Party platform that won quick and overwhelming approval is the latest sign of former President Trump's expanding ideological grip over the GOP.
While the platform – which softens longstanding Republican Party language in support of a federal ban on abortion – was praised by a number of top social conservative leaders, not all evangelicals were happy with the new document.
The platform, drafted by the former president and his top aides, was passed on Monday by a committee dominated by Trump supporters, which met behind closed doors in Milwaukee ahead of next week's Republican National Convention.
The vote in favor of the platform – which was loaded with populism and nationalism – was 84 to 18, according to a source who attended the meeting.

VP Pence has become nobody Pence long time ago.
The so called evangelists behave like they were the only God fearing people in the USA, and have the guts to pressure President Trump to act in the manners of Obama and Biden.
Just a little reminder for these narrow minded zealots:
Under Nazi and Communist rule abortions were banned by law, and if midwives or doctors were reported to secretly break that absurd law they were charged, and sentenced for murder.
I thank God Almighty for Pence, this nazi/communist minded person has completely ceased to be a factor in US politics.
Pence is a traitor to America.
Right wing losers ABSOLUTELY HAVE NOT changed their stance on abortion. They just want to try to salvage prochoice votes. Good luck with that! WE SEE YOU! Trump gets in and there would be a national ban on abortion. Do not be fooled.
Mike Pence like Judas Iscariot betrayed President Trump for the love of money and power.
He knows that Pelosi refused to call in the national guard. He knows that the FBI and Antifa had their agents instigating riots and harassing policeman. He knows there was huge Election fraud, but rather than stand up for truth, he chose money and power. His use of the Bible is disgusting and an insult to God.
Jufas pense without shame
Noncence Pence who cars about him . . Very confused pense
If Pence is so concerned about abortion why did he decide to so graciously hand over the presidency to the pro abortion Democrats without a fight?
Pence wants to remain an influence in the Republican party when he obviously wants the Dems to retain power. Democrats will use abortion as an excuse to keep their gullible voters who are too selfish to care that giving aborton rights decisions back to the states was what SCOTUS should have done, on the Democrat plantation. At the same time, whenever a Republican is asked about abortion they should state clearly that SCOTUS interprets the Constitution ir does not revise it to please members of one political party and abortion is perfectly legal in the majority of states in this country. In some states, it's even easier to get on than it was before the ruling in favor of state's rights! Pence should be kicked out of the party altogether and told to take his sorry self over to the left where he belongs.
The Losers of the Democrat Party
1. Joe Biden
2. Kamala Harris
The Losers of the Republican Party
1. Mike Pence
2. Nikki Haley
No one cares what Judas has to say. lol
Pence should look in the mirror before he says ANYTHING! He wanted to be president and is so very jealous it's not funny. He's wanted to be president for years! Anyway, I'm against taking the life of the unborn or newly born, however, it's not my choice. If someone has life threatening issues with the pregnancy or is raped, albeit incest or other, it is up to the person to decide. I do know a few people who's mothers were raped and they kept their babies. God has a call on everyone's life. It is not up to me to tell them what to do or not to do. That will be between them and God, whether they believe in Him or not.
Governor Pence forced all Counties in Indiana to go Wet with Liquor. Sober Adults deserve discounts on insurance premiums. Tax alcohol.
The eve angelicals have been one of the biggest things holding back the rebublican party
Mike pence career as a Republican is over
Mike Pence is a bitter small of a man. Not care for Americans and not a loyal person!
Mike Pence is no longer relevant!!!
Rino Pence needs to be removed from the RNC and quit pretending. Nobody cares about what he thinks.
None of your busi traitor. You do not have a place in RNC. Get your nose where the sun don’t shine.
Pence should go away into the sunset. He had his shot at the presidency but shot himself in the foot. He is unrecoverable. He is now known as Mike "Judas Iscariot" Pence. I have never seen anyone hated by the population as much as they hate Mitt Romney and Bill Barr. These political "has-beens" are truly Trump backstabbers. They are pure RINOs.
