So according to the Freeperati, Trump showed Presidential restraint -- not cowardice -- by not doing this, but Pence showed cowardice -- not restraint -- acting within his Vice-Presidential Constitutional duties just 2 hours later.
Got it.
President Trump said what he said and not what anyone imagined he said.
Vice-President Pence’s duties are to preside as President of the Senate when the electoral votes are certified by Congress. The Constitution doesn’t narrowly define those duties nor was he constrained from challenging or questioning disputed electoral votes.
Just the same as a judge may poll a jury about their verdict to confirm that the verdict is indeed valid.
Pence had a chance to question the fraud and he failed.
I hope he sleeps well at night.
