Schiff: Pence Won’t Testify Before January 6 Committee Because ‘He Doesn’t Want to Alienate the Trump Base’

Monday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed former Vice President Mike Pence’s refusal to testify for the soon-to-be-defunct January 6 Committee because he was going to run for president and did not want to “alienate” the so-called Trump base.

“Why do you think he’s wrong when he says Congress has no right to his testimony?” MSNBC host Chris Hayes said.

“Because it’s — you know, at its base, the most basic, it’s not about what Congress has a right to — indeed, we do have a right to his testimony,” Schiff replied. “It’s what is his responsibility to the public and to the country. Former presidents have come and testified before Congress, certainly, a former vice president can.”

Shove it pence and pencil neck

[Salamander]

He’s a lot too late for that.

[Fido969]

There’s a January 6 committee?

‘He Doesn’t Want to Alienate the Trump Base’

Too late.

[VastRWCon]

Pence is on clay and buck right now taking credit for covid and has a new book.

Shame on you clay/buck.

[gattaca]

My thoughts exactly

[GulliverSwift]

It’s a really boring show in my opinion, even without the interloper Pence.

[Still Thinking]

Too late.

[dragnet2]

What a joke☺

[lee martell]

Well now, Mike, looks like you DO have a sense of humor after all, however droll. That there is a real ‘knee slapper’.

[C210N]

Nice for him to admit publicly that he’s perfectly okay with testifying otherwise.

[HamiltonJay]

Pence running for the White House is a non starter...

Political reality of US today is such that he has no chance of winning the nomination.

[mass55th]

He already alienated Trump’s true base on January 6th. We hope he rots in hell.

[TomGuy]

I think any Trump base for Pence is gone with the wind.

[circlecity]

Wow, Schiff has an incredible grasp of the obvious.

[RatRipper]

Correct. Pence has been there and done that already.

I am convinced Schiffty’s mouth and brain are not connected.

[Nervous Tick]

Too late! Pence is already dead and can’t get any deader in this corner of the Trump base. I couldn’t care less what further crap dribbles from his uniparty lips.

[Robert DeLong]

If this is true, Pence is an even bigger idiot than I imagined. We already despise every breath you take, you traitor. But the Lord has the only say on when the last breath is taken. But you should never worry about alienating us. That had already occurred almost 2 years ago now.

It also proves he doesn't have the intelligence to lead a third world nation, let alone this nation. Go hide in your basement Mikey, like Biden did during the election cycle, and often still does from what I hear.

[McCarthysGhost]

The majority of the country wants The Jan 6th committee disbanded. They have REAL problems that they are dealing with.

[Boogieman]

He refused because he knows the Dems won’t be in control in a few weeks and so there will be no consequences.
