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.

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

The way this reads to me is that those who committed the fraud in the 2020 election are the ones who terminated “all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

Pence is the LAST person anyone should consult about the Constitution. Bought-off traitor Pence is a hypocrite and a malodorous wad of slime.

What on earth are you talking about? Have you ever listened to his speeches? Are you referring to the obvious fraud being perpetrated across this country?

No, he did not....

The way his comment reads to me is that those who committed the fraud in the 2020 election are the ones who terminated “all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

That would make sense if he hadn't proposed a couple of extra-Constitutional actions in the preceding sentence.

"Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?"

I am so damn sick and tired of seeing angelic Mikey and listening to him downing Trump and saying he is doing God’s work. GO AWAY.

You greatly overestimate what American’s today will do.

I don't know where you thought I would believe otherwise. Check my posting history.

LOL, at least he didn’t say they were better than Nickelback!

Trump seems to be able to get the never-Trumpers/enemies of the Republic to expose themselves on cue with an almost Pavlovian efficiency.

The premise of the headline is a lie.

It really doesn’t make any difference in that respect… They are going to twist what Trump says into something reprehensible, or they are simply going to lie out right about it.

Until there are ramifications, they will not change.

They will treat Pence with deference and respect, unless he were to obtain the nomination, in which case they will treat him as they treat Trump.

Same for DeSantis.

Calling for the end of the constitution, is the job of the democrats, and they do it on a daily basis.

Trump DID NOT call for the end of the constitution, and only the never-Trumpers want to interpret it that way.

Trump actually adhered to all points in the constitution as president.

Calling for the end of the constitution is a career-ending statement. Trump is not that dumb. Democrats do it all the time, but then, it’s what they do.
