VP Mike Pence Just Issued Statement…The Fight is on!
Epoch Times via Populist Press ^ | 01/02/2021

Vice President Mike Pence said he welcomes efforts by lawmakers to challenge Electoral College results in the upcoming congressional joint session on Jan. 6, when the votes are formally counted, according to a statement sent by his chief of staff to reporters.

Vice President Chief of Staff Marc Short issued the statement on Saturday saying that Pence, who will be presiding over the Jan. 6 session as president of the senate, is open to considering planned objections by Republican House members and senators to Electoral College votes cast for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Short added that the vice president also welcomes efforts by lawmakers to present evidence of election irregularities and alleged voter fraud before Congress during that session.

“Vice President Pence shares the concerns of millions of Americans about voter fraud and irregularities in the last election,” Short said in the statement sent to media outlets.

This comes after a group of 11 Republican senators announced their intention to challenge the electoral college votes from contested states earlier on Saturday. The group, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), said the 2020 election “featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations, and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities.”

The allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election “exceed any in our lifetimes,” they said, adding that this “deep distrust” of U.S. democratic processes “will not magically disappear” and “should concern us all,” whether or not elected officials or journalist believe the allegations.

“It poses an ongoing threat to the legitimacy of any subsequent administrations,” the senators wrote in their statement, while calling on Congress to appoint an electoral commission to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election results.

“The Vice President welcomes the efforts of members of the House and Senate to use the authority they have under the law to raise objections and bring forward evidence before the Congress and the American people on January 6th.” 2/2

“The Vice President welcomes the efforts of members of the House and Senate to use the authority they have under the law to raise objections and bring forward evidence before the Congress and the American people on January 6th.”

That’s a carefully crafted statement saying nothing really. It means Pence welcomes the Congress to follow the rules, that’s it.

Perhaps, eventually, all those voicemails, emails, Trump Parades, and the Jan. 6th MAGA rally had the cumulative effect of stiffening the spines of some politicians. They obviously didn’t have any resolve at all in the early days of the Dem Election Fraud.

I took it as a placation, a blow off, so it is worse than negative because people will sit still for that crap.

Let’s say you are the VP and in his current position, how would you word your statement?

It's a LOT better than what the Turtle is saying.

I want to see Marc Short’s actual statement.

Like, from his twitter, Pence’s twitter, or whitehouse.gov.
