Pence pushes back on Trump’s call to terminate the Constitution
The Hill ^ | 12/05/2022 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 12/05/2022 9:38:01 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday pushed back on former President Trump’s assertion that the Constitution should be disregarded to allow for him to return to the White House in the wake of new revelations about Twitter’s handling of a controversial story about Hunter Biden.

“I must tell you that I think that everyone that serves in public office, everyone that aspires to serve or serve again should make it clear that we will support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Pence said on WVOC radio in Columbia, S.C., ahead of a visit to the state on Tuesday.

The former vice president, who has said he is contemplating a 2024 presidential bid, noted that every federal official takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.

Pence added that he believes he upheld his oath to defend the Constitution throughout his four years as Trump’s vice president, particularly in the final weeks of his term as Trump pressured him to reject the 2020 election results.

Trump picked him for VP because he was friends with Paul RINO, and Trump was banking on the fact that this would help Trump get legislation through the House. Instead, Paul RINO and his butt buddy Pence colluded against Trump.

The only thing that makes sense (and would make his statement correct in the technical sense) would be that there is no way within the four corners of the constitution to remove Biden and replace him with Trump.

Of course, if Trump was thinking of taking a shot at the title by running a few red lights, fatmouthing about it is the LAST thing he should be doing.

Without reading it...knowing PDJT’s reverence of our Constitution I’m pretty sure this is one huge pile of excrement masquerading as his words.

If this nonsense keeps up, election fatigue will eventually set in.

Again, totally missing the point! Trump is actually making the point that BIDEN and BIG TECH and THE CORRUPT MEDIA have, by their collusion, already SHREDDED the U.S. Constitution! Is Pence dense?

You greatly overestimate what American’s today will do. How many cities had their business core destroyed in 2020 with the active assistance of the city government and police. How much pushback was there. One guy, Kyle Rittenhouse. How much support from ‘conservatives’ was there? He is still treated like a pariah by much of the so called conservative movement. Donald Trump could be assassination and aside from some sporadic demonstrations there would be absolutely no real pushback. It will have to get bad enough to really effect daily life to wake at least some Americans up and to begin to really resist.

Donald Trump “The Fake News is actually trying to convince the American People that I said I wanted to “terminate” the Constitution. This is simply more DISINFORMATION & LIES, just like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, and all of their other HOAXES & SCAMS. What I said was that when there is “MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION,” as has been irrefutably proven in the 2020 Presidential Election, steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG. Only FOOLS would disagree with that and accept STOLEN ELECTIONS. MAGA!”

Mike played his part well on January 6th to destroy the Constitution.

So is Trump. Pence is meaningless, but Trump is too sloppy with words about important subjects.

“Trump DID NOT CALL FOR US TO RECIND RHE U.S. Constitution !”

Trying to translate garbled Trump tweets and confusing off-the-cuff comments can be tiring!

Trump should push back on the feckless VP’s lies- and also campaign on the fact that pence hasn’t any integrity because he chose to lie about what Trump said, and if he can’t be trusted to tell the truth about Trump- then he can’t be trusted to lead this nation back to greatness either because it proves pence is in league with hte lying left-
