LOL! Either one makes a pretty good moniker. DJT is welcome to borrow it.

Hey Pence, you did not your job on Jan. 6, do not expect people to vote for you either. I’d stab myself in the heart and vote for Kennedy before you.

Either Mike is so out of touch and clueless about the GOP base, or he has figured that he is not winning the primary and decided to go all out for Biden and Garland.

I am not sure where he stands. It could very well be that he is clueless. Why would any serious candidate say that they are not concerned about what are GOP voter concerns, in that Tucker Carlson interview?!

“I know we all have got our doubts about the last election. I want to assure you that I share the concerns of millions of Americans about voting irregularities. I promise you, come this Wednesday, we will have our day in Congress!”

That quote by VP Pence on Jan 4, 2021 should be proof enough for President Trump that he truly believed that he won the election. After all, his Vice President also had doubts about the integrity of the election just two days before the January 6 speech.

That should be enough to get the latest round of indictments tossed out.

Even for people who don’t have Trump at the top of their Primary list, this makes Pence look really, really, really bad.

Thinking about this quote from Pence some more...

Actually, President Trump can make the very credible claim that it was actually this quote from Pence that incited the riot, and not Trump's January 6 speech.

Trump can claim that nobody knew what he was going to say until he started speaking on January 6.

However, two days before the speech Pence set the expectation "We will have our day in Congress" and gave trouble-makers a two-day lead time to organize and travel to DC.

President Trump can show that on January 6 he implored the crowd to go peacefully to the Capitol and show their numbers. That was an extemporaneous comment made to a already peaceful gathering.

But it was Mike Pence's quote that made the "promise" to personally do something about it in two days. I'm saying that it was Mike Pence who galvanized the people to riot at the Capitol, not Donald Trump.

I didn’t even know that Pence was a Carter Democrat in his youth.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/mark-levin-goes-off-bill-barr-weasel-mike-pence-indictment-crap

“Life, Liberty & Levin” host Mark Levin joined “Fox & Friends” to call out statements made by former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Vice President Mike Pence about the latest indictment against former President Trump. Speaking on CNN, Barr dismissed First Amendment concerns with the latest charges against Trump over the January 6th riot.

MARK LEVIN: This indictment, Mr. Barr, is crap! And the reason they didn’t bring insurrection, and seditious conspiracy is because there was no insurrection and seditious conspiracy. … I want to say something to Mike Pence, who has turned out to be quite the weasel. Mike Pence fought like hell, he didn’t want to testify in front of this grand jury, he didn’t want to give his notes to this grand jury, now we know why, he’s scribbling them down in the meeting. Well, he had to give them up, then he gives them up and he comes out, he’s like all of a sudden a drama queen! ‘I said no!’ because his notes were in there, he’s flipped completely, ‘and I stopped a constitutional crisis.’ You did?

Snowball's Chance In Hell.

This only leaves two conclusions any thinking person can arrive at regarding Pence:

  1. Pence is a Deep State plant meant to divide the vote and sow dissension.

  2. Pence is dumber than a bag of hammers if he thinks he can "break through in a crowded GOP field".

There are no other options.

30 Pence will rue the day he pulled this stunt. Furthermore, you don’t tell voters you care more about backing an funding Ukraine and in the same breath tell the country don’t care about America.
