Pence says 'history will hold' Trump accountable for Jan. 6 in Gridiron speech
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/12/23 | Emily Jacobs

Posted on 03/12/2023 7:18:25 AM PDT by cotton1706

Former Vice President Mike Pence delivered his harshest rebuke yet of former President Donald Trump over the weekend for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Pence made the comments while speaking at the annual Gridiron Club Dinner, a white-tie event thrown by Washington, D.C. journalists and attended by high-profile Beltway figures. The exclusive soiree is known for politicians poking fun at each other and members of the D.C. press corps taking part in skits. This year featured speeches from Pence, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. The former vice president used the platform to issue his strongest criticism to date of his ex-boss as the two inch toward their anticipated 2024 rivalry.

Pence is right back home where he belongs. He's comforted being in that crowd of DC elites. That's him. I hope he tries to run and gets humiliated.

It would do him well to remember that it was the Trump/PENCE campaign and administration that got spied on and blamed for everything.

He might also try to remember what happens to Republicans that “play nice” with the media . . .

Pence is the quintessential spineless and confused Republican.

A pure bred RINO.

And a sanctimonious one at that.

I had no right to overturn the election.

That is a major, self-serving misdirection, MP.

No one of authority asked you to overturn anything. There is an orderly Constitutional process for dealing with that specific issue.

You, perhaps in concert with the Speaker, allowed that process to be avoided under the cloak of an "insurrection". That is what should be of historical importance.

“I think Pence’s career died when he was so boring as Trump’s VEEP, no one could remember his name.”

I thought Pence would have been good as Trump’s successor strictly from a social conservatism perspective. Unfortunately he sold his soul to the Deep State for a future professorship at some prestigious university.

Agreed. I used to like Pence because I thought he was a Christian soldier.

Something changed. He turned into a cowardly cadaver with a nice head of gray hair.

Pence refers to his WIFE as “Mother.” Oh, and he’s gay.

He's not gay. How dare you say such a thing.

Just because he hangs out in gay bars when "Mother" is out with the girls does not mean he's gay!

People like Pence want the title and perks of the job, but when time comes to fulfill their responsibilities they are full of nothing but excuses and/or blaming others.

I cannot vote for such a man under any circumstances.

The reputations of ‘great’ R families like the Bushes, Cheney’s, McCain’s, Romney’s, all decreased under Trump’s watch.
Pence isn’t a part of that R royalty,but he has added his name to those ‘great’ R’s ...

Bravo Trump!

Pence has the political and ethical instincts of Beto O’ Rourke.

“It reinforces the notion that powerful forces are engaged in a concerted campaign to prevent Trump’s return to the White House and makes the Ron DeSantis candidacy “suspect”.

I won’t demonize Governor DeSantis it’s just that as an adult he should consider who’s pushing him into the ring what are their motives?”

They are attempting to split the conservative vote. Because they know that none of their usual pantywaist candidates will get anywhere. Desantis is their only hope to prevent Trump from getting the nomination.

But we aren’t budging from Trump. The next thing they’ll try is to prevent Trump from being on state primary ballots (the local Republican parties and/or the secretaries of state). That’s what the indictment juries are all about, so they’ll have an excuse.

In which case we will write Trump in. And he’ll win the primaries.

Bearing false witness agaisnt Trump is very unbib,iCal there pence!

So Trump exploring his rally-goers to PEACEFULLY PROTEST NEAR the Capitol, building g means he was responsible for what happened after police opened the doors and ushered in the protestors?

Sorry Mike, but lying about Trump will never endear you to conservatives. Stop acting like the left- Trump was not responsible- your beloved Nancy Pelosi was responsible for refusing to have national guards there as Trump requested! So again, enouhg with your filthy lies and bearing false witness agaisnt Trump sir! You have lost any respect some folks may have held for you with your dirty lying.
