Pence took inspiration from Madison, Bible on Jan. 6 © Getty Images Former Vice President Mike Pence said he took inspiration from former President James Madison when he certified the results of the Electoral College vote despite intense pressure from former President Trump and his allies to not do so.
Pence, who has come under enormous criticism for Trump for not challenging the Electoral College results, said Madison and the Bible guided his decision-making, according to a report by CNN Politics.
Speaking at an event at the University of Iowa on Monday evening, Pence, asked who had told him to buck Trump's plan, answered, "James Madison."
Pence also mentioned the Bible: "Psalm 15 says he who keeps his oath even when it hurts."
The former vice president was presiding over the Electoral College count in Congress, traditionally a ceremonial role, when Republican members of the House and Senate challenged the votes in certain states, leading to debates and votes in both chambers.

I mentioned this at the time, but I remember watching Trump’s speech during the RNC. Mike Pence was sitting with his wife, and she had a look of pure loathing on her face as she watched Trump speak. I doubt that this perceived Pence loathing of Trump was confined to Karen Pence only.
There’s the Dem’s dream ticket Romney/Pence
Mike, remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. - James 4:17
You sure he wasn’t actually hiding behind Linda telling him to tell the police to shoot the terrorists?
“Turn the other cheek”?
Constitution says the VP/Senate Pres. opens the envelopes containing the electoral ballots and hands them to the ‘tellers’. That’s it, that’s where his authority ends.
The tellers (2 members each from the House and Senate) count the votes.
Pence never had the authority to return ballots to states or overturn results. Congress as a whole had the authority to reject ballots, and they voted to accept the ballots.
Also, there were never any alternative or competing electoral ballots sent by the legislatures of any of the states, and if there were, it would have been up to Congress to vote to accept or reject them, not Pence).
So, it is easy to attack Pence. Enjoy yourselves. You are urinating into the wind.

Maybe you should stop at a Convenience Store and pick up some towelettes.
Clearly, you are confusing “proving fraud” with obtaining “mainstream media’s” AGREEMENT that there is Fraud. If so, your right! Mainsteam Media will NEVER agree that The Left and Communist China stole the election.
OR, worse, you support Main Stream Media’s unceasing/relentless attacks on any suggestion that the 2020 election was a fraud which, if true, causes many of us to worry about whether your a full fledged democrat, a RINO or worse.
A pathetic CYA excuse by a pathetic excuse of a man.
Pence stands on the bible to insulate himself from criticism. He is a very bad guy. Wears his religion on his sleeve. Fake.
Pence. Bland is as bland does.
This guy’s time is up and he has no clue.
Fixed it!
Reminds me of Romney in a way.
Yes, just without the beret’.
Then Pence is proud to take credit for something he had no power over anyway?
That makes it better?!
PeeeeeeeZe go away with this garbage.
Keep his oath to whom? Himself? The American people?
Completely subjective nonsense.
He swore an oath to defend the American nation, not turn the nation over to wolves. Does he still think he did the right thing in the face of what has transpired?
The man is an idiot.
Too little, too lame, too late.
These words sound like something written by a democrat: Inaccurate and untrue, yet meant to appeal to the less studied.
What stupendous BS, even FJB knows this is fake news.
He is a traitor
He is a traitor
