Former Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that former President Donald Trump asked him to violate his oath to the Constitution on January 6, 2021.
Pence said, “I write did it in the book, I will never forget, it was the night before January 6, the president and I were alone in the office in what was ultimately a tense conversation. I had made my position clear, as vice president, I did not believe I had the authority to return or reject electoral votes when the House convened to count the electoral votes, but there was great tension in the room. At the outset, I remember the president looking at me and he pointed at the window of the crowd that was gathering just off the South Lawn and in the Ellipse and he said, did you see that crowd out there? I said, I did, Mr. President. He said those people love us. I said those people love you. He said that is probably true. I looked at him very seriously and I said do those people love the Constitution? Because I believe Republican voters and the Republican Party’s future is ultimately grounded in us producing men and women who will stand up for ideal enshrined in the Constitution and the Declaration, ideals Ronald Reagan stood for without apology and our that the carried or movement forward for generations.”

He missed his moment of greatness.
Happens to a lot of people.
I keep a list.
It happened 11 times in the past, all Dem challenges to Republicans.
Which states submitted alternate slates of electors in 2020?
Its all rigged now. It makes no difference how people vote.
Anyway, here's Josh Hawley's speech from CPAC 2021. The discussion of Jan. 6 starts at the 4-minute mark. Eleven state elections and three federal elections have been challenged in the past, all by Democrats.
There is an 1887 law on the books that has been used in the electoral count process before, so Pence should do some research.
Maybe he’s angling for a job as a media commentator? He’s certainly burning what little is left of his bridges to the Republican base, so a presidential run would get him nowhere at this point.
Re: 115 - Thanks for the link to Hawley’s speech!
Pence is a POS.
Next Pence will say Trump had him shinning his shoes and mop the floors.
He has a child’s mind whaaaaa
Gee, a funny thing just happened when I went back to the speech. A loud buzzing noise, and then the video had no sound. Peculiar, huh?
Et tu Brute?
you have 1 year on me. I pray that I not only get to vote for him again but live long enough to hear the Democrat AO the Dem’s run concede to Trump.
After that 4 years of Trump and MAYBE 8 years of DeSantis.
From your mouth to God’s ears.
Pence has achieved a level of worthlessness amazing even among ex-VP’s.
Pence, you’re a liar or a moron. Which is it?
Mike Pence, YOU can talk all you want, squirm, and lie, but YOU are responsible for NOT questioning the election results. YOU CAUSED THIS MESS.
Go away!!!
Yes, he DID NOT honor his oath, he VIOLATED it!
There are many snakes in trumps house and he is one of them
