Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday said that former President Donald J. Trump and his advisers had tried to get him “essentially to overturn the election” and that the American people needed to know it.
The remarks, made in an interview with Fox News, are some of Mr. Pence’s most pointed to date about what he experienced in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, when he presided over the congressional certification of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory.
The indictment portrayed an attack on American democracy. Smith framed his case against Trump as one that cuts to a key function of democracy: the peaceful transfer of power. By underscoring this theme, Smith cast his effort as an effort not just to hold Trump accountable but also to defend the very core of democracy.
Its a close race for the title of “most spineless POS” between Pence and Graham. Who will take the trophy? Are you all excited?
Weird to think about what else the two of them may have in common. Would be interesting to get pence’s wife (“mother”) and Lindsay’s sister (who he said would be his first lady if he was ever president because he’s 68 and has never married) in a room together to draw any parallels…
We do know that they both STRONGLY oppose LGBTQIA+ rights, we know that part, nobody needs to even think about that part. They both vote and act against that so strongly that some might be mistaken to think it was performative (if they weren’t both so clearly and DEFINITELY straight).
