Arizona GOP State Senator Wendy Rogers again took aim at former Vice President Mike Pence in a tweet yesterday.
Pence is attempting to reinsert himself in the national spotlight it seems and he also has made an endorsement in the Arizona Gubernatorial race, where he endorsed Karrin Taylor Robson.
Rogers, along with the 45th President Donald Trump, have endorsed Kari Lake in that primary battle instead.
“Pence is setting himself up to be embarrassed,” Rogers declared in the tweet.

Pence plans to speak at two rallies in support of Robson in Arizona tomorrow, which is also the same day that Trump will be speaking in support of Lake at a rally in Arizona as well.
As CNN reported yesterday, Pence is no longer keeping his cards close, telegraphing in several high-profile moves this week that he is actively exploring a 2024 presidential bid.
Pence also returned to Washington D.C. yesterday for the first time since he left office to meet with conservative members of the Republican Study Committee.
The RSC is a group Pence once helmed as a congressman from Indiana and whose current leader, U.S. Congressman Jim Banks (IN), has previously identified himself as an early supporter of a potential Pence 2024 campaign.
Later, Pence delivered remarks in South Carolina, which is an early presidential primary state, where he outlined a path forward for abortion opponents in “a post-Roe America.”
Pence urged Republicans to slash red tape for families looking to adopt and bar the US Postal Service from delivering mail-order abortion pills.
