Mike Pence was clear with his implication. Former President Trump asked him to defy the Constitution. And Trump has forfeited his right to be President.
Mike Pence grows a spine.
I really had to do a double-take on this one. We knew that Mike Pence went in front of the Jan 6th grand jury and that his testimony was likely going to implicate the president as an Insurrectionist-In-Chief further. But given his verbiage in subsequent weeks, he was spineless in his seeming protection of the former president.
Now that Trump has been indicted for the third time, he has come out swinging.
“Irrespective of the indictment,” Mike Pence said to defend himself against Trump’s lie. “I want the American people to know that I had no right to overturn the election.”
Pence would then insert the spear, twist it, and salt the wound on Trump.
“And then, on that day, President Trump asked me to put him over the Constitution,” Pence continued. “But I chose the Constitution, and I always will. And I really do believe that anyone who puts themself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States. And anyone who asks someone else to put themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States again.”
He is clearly referring to Donald Trump. Will the dominoes start falling?
