'Jack Smith's words': Fox News hosts slam Pence for 'making money' from 'too honest' slogan
Fox News hosts Pete Hegseth and Rachel Campos-Duffy followed former President Donald Trump's lead and attacked former Vice President Mike Pence over special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into a plot to overthrow the 2020 election.
During a segment on Sunday's broadcast of Fox & Friends, Hegseth slammed Pence for using the slogan "too honest" — words that Trump allegedly used while pushing Pence to stop the counting of electoral votes.
"He's delusional, and now he wants to show he's a tough guy," Hegseth said, quoting Trump.
"He's making money off of it, by the way," Campos-Duffy noted. "Too honest is now his merchandise slogan."
"The too honest thing comes from the indictment from Jack Smith, where they claim Donald Trump said, Oh, Mike Pence, you're too honest when he wanted him and not certify on January 6th," Hegseth explained. "I just don't see how putting the words of Jack Smith on a T-shirt is going to help you inside the Republican primary."
Campos-Duffy claimed Pence's "reputation is [sic] really suffered so much throughout this."
"Everywhere he goes, he's booed," she added. "He's heckled. Um, Republicans don't like him. There's a certain class of people in the Republican Party that like him in the kind that right, like really big fat checks. Um, and the rest of them don't."
Hegseth agreed and insisted Pence was "just not gonna be president."
"And using the words of a guy who's going after the most popular Republican in decades as a campaign slogan is not going to work," he opined.
