This is what I hate about FR. Mike Pence was a good and loyal soldier for Trump. He was asked to do something that he felt he could not do. His four years of absolute loyalty should be recognized. I was at government meetings with him and he was always giving all the credit to Trump. Truly not fair. Would I support him? No. But it’s not because of what happened in January.
At the very least he could have said "I will not be a part of this." and walked out.
He cooperated with the Democrats stealing the election, and for that I shall never forgive him. He's just like those 13 that helped them pass this latest monstrosity of spending bill.
And Benedict Arnold was a good and loyal soldier to Washington - until personal ambition nullified that loyalty.

No, he was not. You are in denial. VP Pence refused to support President Trump on numerous occasions. Too many to mention in fact. Among the low lights were the General Flynn issue, impeachment hoax 1.0 and 2.0 and the stolen election. The cherry on top was Pence’s Chief of Staff being BANNED from the Trump White House for disloyalty.
I don’t have any personal experience with Pence as you do. And I liked him in the beginning as a quiet insider.
And that’s it.
I don’t even completely hold his being used as a tool by the Left during the Flynn debacle against him, though he was all too helpful to them in his ignorance.
The dissatisfaction with Pence is not limited to FR either, I assure you.
From where I sit, he was the only one (when it landed in his lap) who could have done what was necessary to attempt to address this wrong, and he deferred that and sided with the people who said Trump should meekly leave office and not contest it.
I won’t forgive him for that. I have had a belly full of it these last five years.
We elected him to make hard choices if need be, and one was needed. Like the rest of the Republican Party that largely shut up and kept their heads down so they wouldn’t draw fire, he punted to try to save his political skin.
I know how you feel about the FR firing squad. But I won’t protect Pence here.
“ This is what I hate about FR. Mike Pence was a good and loyal soldier for Trump.”

Were you programmed to think that, and that is why you are unaware of
Pence’s often repeated disloyalty to Our President?
or are you attempting to program us?
I totally understand and respect what you are saying.
Well said.

Aside from one small thing Benedict Arnold was a great American general.
Pence could’ve said he wasn’t going to do it weeks before Jan 6. Instead he led us all along to think that he was until the day of and backstabbing any attempt at de-escalating the situation.
Hilly uts more because of the comments he made AFTER. Not once did he stand up for Trump supporters. Not once did he say “I condemn the violence but the majority were peaceful”. Those words struck to the heart and won’t be forgiven.
He should quietly retire and hope someday he will be forgiven.
I hold no animosity for what happened Jan. 6 towards Pence.
My problem with him predates that by years.
Everyone who gets into leadership in the GOP has to agree with the open borders/amnesty agenda that has been the top priority of the GOP since the Bush League took over in 1989.
Until he got the first opportunity to stab Trump in the back. So I’d say he wasn’t loyal, he’s deceptive and deceitful. Also extremely tone deaf
