Trump is getting angry with Mike Pence for not joining in his attempts to overturn the election, report says
Business Insider via Yahoo News ^ | 12/22/2020 | Alexander Ma

President Donald Trump is furious at Vice President Mike Pence and other top White House officials who are not joining his futile attempts to overturn the 2020 election, Axios reported Tuesday, citing multiple top officials.

The outlet said the president was "turning bitterly on virtually every person around him" who he believes is not supporting him.

Trump thinks that those who are not fighting in his corner are, in Axios' words, "weak, stupid or disloyal" and "beneath contempt."

Trump has complained about Pence and recently brought up an ad by the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican super PAC, that said the vice president was "backing away" from him, Axios reported.

The outlet said Trump was also unhappy with Mark Meadows, his chief of staff; Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Top White House aides have for weeks been trying to distance themselves from Trump and his fruitless election lawsuits, according to multiple reports.

Axios reported that Trump had been asking his advisors if they could order state legislatures to rescind their electoral votes - and that when he is told no, he gets angry again.

Before the Electoral College met on December 14, Trump had considered asking Republican lawmakers in battleground states to refuse to ratify their results and to replace electors with loyalists who would switch their votes from President-elect Joe Biden to Trump. It was a last-ditch plot that was improbable.

But now that the Electoral College has confirmed Biden as the president-elect, Trump is turning to his congressional allies to help overturn the result on January 6, when both chambers will meet to certify the vote count.

Is there one source where all these liars go each morning to get their talking points to distribute?

I won’t believe this until I read it in the New York Times and hear it on CNN.

"“So when the time comes on January 6…” the Vice President can count the “correct electors…the electors based on the most legal votes,” Epshteyn said on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast. “Let not forget that a week ago today, the Trump electors were sent to Congress…along with the Biden electors,” he continued. Epshteyn later said the Trump team is prepared to fight well past January 6 if Congress cannot certify a winner."

HAHA...Yahoo reporting on a story from Axios...DOUBLE HAHA...

You know, we now refer to this type of crap as FAKE News...

Would it not be nice if FAKE News was actually treated as SEDITION or TREASON...?

Unnamed sources are about as real as the 1’s and 0’s and fake ballots that voted for Biden.

Yes it’s totally fake news. I know that because Pence has made a lot of powerful public statements pointing out the evidence of fraud and demanding that we take action to protect the integrity of our elections and the sanctity of the franchise.

Oh wait, I haven’t heard any of that from Pence. Sorry, I must be thinking of Peter Navarro. Pence hasn’t said anything about the election theft or the bullying of GOP poll watchers or the evidence of dead people voting

But yeah, I’m sure Pence is very concerned about it all. Even if he says nothing about it.

Even if its not entirely true, I doubt Pence will grant something that is beyond 11th hour reprieve.

The idea that the President could challenge election results in court was the only option. It was a very flimsy one imo.

I think Trump has been plagued by bad legal advice and advice in general because he had to work in the same town as the swamp.

He should have from day one fired everyone in Washington and brought in people from outside.

Yes! I HATE that “overturn” word and notion. It’s a pure lie. He is seeking a fair election with honest results.

I’m afraid, though, that he is now standing alone and the press is succeeding in making Trump look more like Captain Queeg every passing day.

Business Insider, Yahoo News, Axios...

There needs to be a way to financially penalize freepers that post the left wing’s psyops products here on FR’s boards.

Can you cite an article where Pence is talking about all the evidence of vote rigging?

Trump told his children that they were going to find out who their friends were.....

While I question this article and it is most likely another hit piece based on “anonymous source” that seems to define journalism in the era of Trump, we are seeing who is who pretty clearly right now.

“Citing multiple top White House officials...”

Did they even “cite”one? Anonymous dream sources are not “citations.”

Complete narrative manufacturing. The left is scared sh**less.

Biden corruption, Biden illegitimacy.

That’s funny; every speech Pence makes of late is completely in support of Trump.

OK, tell Jim to ban New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and all other mainstream media sources in FR.

What do we have left? An echo chamber?
