Former Vice President Mike Pence issued a statement Tuesday evening on the indictment of his former boss and now presidential campaign rival President Trump for contesting the 2020 election and lobbying state officials, Congress and Pence about the election. Pence said he has not reviewed the indictment.
Trump strongly lobbied Pence to accept challenges to state election results and give those states time to review their elections when he presided over the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021. Pence rejected Trump’s pleas, disagreeing with Trump’s saying he had the legal authority to do so under the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States
I will have more to say about the government’s case after reviewing the indictment. The former president is entitled to the presumption of innocence but with this indictment, his candidacy means more talk about January 6th and more distractions.
As Americans, his candidacy means less attention paid to Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies afflicting millions across the United States and to the pattern of corruption with Hunter.
“Our country is more important than one man. Our constitution is more important than any one man’s career.
On January 6th, Former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will.
.... Snip....
Reporters observed it appears Pence gave evidence in the case, “Lots of evidence in the indictment appears to come directly from @Mike_Pence”
.... Snip....
“Pence called Trump to wish him a Merry Christmas on Christmas and Trump pressed him on rejecting electoral votes.”

Tells me he’s easily blackmailed either by being a closet homo, which destroys his faux Christianity and superior complex, or being a pedophile, which seems less likely for him.
It’s probably the former, but I wouldn’t rule out the later or both.
Worse than traitor: Yellow 🏳️
Traitor Pence and his RAT wife can both ESAD.
Yes, he is. He has been working since before election day 2016, along with his equally shiny best bud, Paul Ryan, to back stab his bos. I hope he spends eternity I’m hell.
To be in the best so he has a platform and supposed credibility to attack Trump. I have always thought, more so now, that Pence was working with Comey and others yo get rid of Yrump. Pence was a mole in the WH.
Don’t want to sound like a Pollyanna, but maybe all of these candidates are making all the allegations against Trump so that when the Dems spew their vomit at Trump it will be a “been there, done that” vibe. The constant clearly political induced indictments vs Trump only makes him more popular in the public eye except for the “dems and woke haters”. So come election time the gauntlet Trump has to go through is done.
Pollyanna mode: now off.
Personally, there is too much of a celebrity contest approach in our elections and not enough substance. We be a mess of a country.
Why is he running?
Because it’s easy to wash the money.
Republicans really are not interested in winning elections. They are there to give the illusion that there is opposition. Democrats are in charge of the chaos and as Fascists they don’t allow opposition.
I don’t see how this is a surprise to anyone, go back to when he was governor and watch how fast he threw Christians under the bus, after he signed a religious protection law that upset the homosexual’s.
“Lots of evidence in the indictment appears to come directly from @Mike_Pence”
The treasonous backstabbers fingerprints are all over this indictment. This is a level of treachery is beyond what l Pence capable of. I was wrong
Yep. POS traitor.
challenges were allowed and disposed of properly as required.
only pansies kick people when they are down mike-
Ray Epps may get more votes than Pence will now
and by ‘down’- i mean ‘being railroaded by liars and enemies of the US!” Sad that pence is backing the left!
Well, then. Bye-bye, Mike.
Pence is such a ho.
He didn’t “cave”. He collaborated. After lying to his voters.
No. More like a mole.
