WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence is criticizing his boss-turned-rival, Donald Trump, for calling retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a traitor. Pence also reacted to the news that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been ousted from his post, saying, “Chaos is never America’s friend.” The GOP presidential candidate answered questions on national security and foreign policy at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Tuesday afternoon’s event was the first in a series of conversations with 2024 Republican presidential candidates on the topic co-hosted by The Associated Press and Georgetown’s Institute of Politics and Public Service.
