I do not know how I would have handled things yesterday if I were in his shoes.
I can say that if he, or any of the other ‘leaders’ in the GOP had gone into the lobby and told people to please stop and get back behind the barricades it could have stopped a whole lot of nonsense and may have saved at least one life.
I do not think they would have been in any danger from that mob.
Trying to pass the buck at the expense of peace and stability of the government and country is cowardice.
Any man that proclaims a faith in God and love of country and then shirks his sworn duty to said country is a man without substance, honor or country.
Mobs are unpredictable. I don’t think any Trump supporters would have hurt Pence or anyone else, but there were Antifa/BLM activists in the crowd pretending to be Trump supporters, and one of them could have gone after Pence.
He could have resiigned and said he didnt want any part of this sham. Or just mot have done it and said the same thing. That was the play.
“I can say that if he, or any of the other ‘leaders’ in the GOP had gone into the lobby and told people to please stop “
Very good point.
