Former Vice President Mike Pence opened his bid for the Republican nomination for president Wednesday with a firm denunciation of former President Donald Trump, accusing his two-time running mate of abandoning conservative principles and being guilty of dereliction of duty on Jan. 6, 2021.
Pence, launching his campaign in a suburb of Des Moines, became the first vice president in modern history to challenge the president under whom he served. He said Trump had disqualified himself when he insisted that Pence had the power to keep him in office — even though he did not.
Trump, he said, “endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol” on the 6th. “But the American people deserve to know that on that day, President Trump also demanded I choose between him and our Constitution. Now voters will be faced with the same choice.”
“I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States, and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United Sates again,” he said. …

What a puke
You mission is now complete Pence, you said what you were supposed to now go home.
People in IN see something that we don’t see any more, since Jan. 6, 2021.
He may get millions in campaign donations from the big money donors!
I generally don’t take pleasure in other’s failures. But watching Pence get his ass kicked by the likes of Chris Christie will be enjoyable. Trump beating Pence is a given.
Pence is a putz
I notice he was trying to imitate Reagan’s legacy. Could Pence have personally voted for Biden and his counterpart Harris?
Good job Mikey. Split that RINO vote to smithereens.
I’ll never vote for that scum bag EVER..he had a chance to overturn a fraud election in 2020 and did NOTHING to stop it..F him, I guess the fly was right, it does go after fecal matter
Go home.
Anyone who puts himself over the laws of the land should never be president. He didn’t have the best interest of the country during the fedsurrection. He cowered like a scared puppy. There were things he could have done but didn’t. Someone without backbone and disloyal to the President should just go home.
Total pig.
Remember how deferential Pence was to Harris in their “fly” debate. He did not seem to mind to give up the vice presidency without a fight.
Anything on his resume besides backstabbing?
The song “Backstabbers” must be Pence’s favorite popular tune.
He will get two percent…
That’s going to help, Mike. /sarc
Well, there’s backing down to Tim Cook while he was governor of Indiana, when it came to the so-called Religious Freedom Restoration Act of that state that he signed. As soon as homosexual Cook threatened a boycott of the state, Pence hurried up to pass a rewrite of the law.
