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.”

I’m so ashamed of him. I hope his parents aren’t still alive to see the low-life scum he’s turned out to be.
Enemies, foreign and domestic.
Sounds like total bull shit.
Sounds like total bull shit.
No, he didn’t.
He asked you to uphold your oath to the constitution and you FAILED.
Coming up next from Pence:
Trump asked me to shoplift some booze for him.
Trump asked me to throw eggs at Nancy Pelosi’s house.
Anything to sell a book, right Mike?
Pence and Hannity have been friends for years, what does that tell you? Hannity had him on his show to plug his new book.
For real, or is he just trying to sell books to help launder some Ukraine aid cash?
As a freeper pointed out not long ago, if you can’t refuse to certify, then it’s not much of a certification process, is it.
First, Pence is a disloyal, dishonorable POS. Those discussions were private and between him and his boss. Using that to make a buck on a book and garner pats on the back from likes of Liz Cheney show what Pence is really about.
Second...It’s time to STFU about comparisons between Reagan and Trump. There is no comparison. I loved Reagan but he would have never survived today’s finatical state media, justice department, and the radical dem party. He would have been impeached and removed for Iran contra and Ollie North would be doing time. It is a completely different America then it was 40 years ago. Literally, Trump is the only republican president that could have weathered his entire first term with everything that was thrown at him.
And yet from the OUTSET of the Trump Administration his NUMBER 1 job was to clean up federal election process in every single state.
Did he do that? Hell NO!! and we should note that after gavelling down the ridiculous session approving the Electors despite 181 certified motions in objections made by 181 Congressmen/women... he did this. ILLEGALLY!
And then- on video, he BUMPED ELBOWS with the Jan 6 agitprop organizer of the AntiFA fake Trump “attackers” of the Capitol.. the wet brain alkie demented Nancy Pelosi.. Why in hell BUMP elbows? HE WAS IN ON THE ENTIRE FARCE.
This fake-a@@ “evangelical” with the mousie beard of a wife who knows all about his inclinations (that lean more to Nancy’s “constituency” in San Fran Castro District). Very irritating self righteous a@@hole who has zero chance for a nomination. Please- shut up pence and go away to your hairdresser. Toot of Earl, Indiana
It's just another payoff, like the "book deal".
The Swamp grifters get to keep their campaign donations if they lose or withdraw, so some Uniparty "sugar daddies" will make sure that Griftin' Mike's coffers are all topped off for his backstabbing service to "The Cause".
Then, they can trade financial "favors" in the backrooms - "you scratch my back with your campaign funds, I'll scratch yours".
Idiots (AKA anti-Trump/Pence apologists) try to use the "he doesn't have the authority" to change the elections. There's nothing that compels him to certify it either.
You are a disgusting, loathsome POS Mike. He asked you to perform your duty and send electors back to the state legislatures. The fact that you claim he asked you to violate your oath when he merely asked you to do your job means you are unfit for office.
Notice how with each re-telling he become a bigger and bigger hero? Pence single-handily saved the country!
That sounds like TV drama dialogue...bad writing.
He is much worse than I thought. He is worse than the worst dem because most are highly transparent. This guy is a snake—an outright backstabber and liar.
What he ask you to do was,"Protect and defend". And you failed the call.!
exactly - There were several states with known election irregularities and Trump asked Pence to delay the proceedings until they were resolved. That delay is legal.
Mike Pence’s date of usefulness has expired.
