Pence defends not conceding 2020 election before Jan. 6
The Hill ^ | 07/12/2023 | Jared Gans

Posted on 07/12/2023 9:29:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday defended not conceding the 2020 presidential election until after Congress certified Electoral College the results in January 2021, pointing to the Trump campaign’s ongoing lawsuits challenging the results.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Pence in an interview on Tuesday about why he did not publicly concede the election in mid-December, after the members of the Electoral College had cast their votes.

Pence said he wanted to be “respectful” of the process, as “a lot” of the lawsuits that the campaign filed in the key states that clinched President Biden’s victory were still active in the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, when Pence presided over the session of Congress to read the votes and the Capitol was attacked by Trump supporters.

The reason that he never defended Trump was because 1: he hated Trump 2: the heat came down on him from the DC swamp….protect trump at your peril! That hypocrite, yellow piece of crap is the same as all those globalist elitist RNC swamp creatures. Christian my butt! Not once has he defended the poor innocent J6 folk or Mike Lindell, and all those that stood up to the powerful machine. A Christian would’ve stood up, and no matter the consequences would’ve defended all those innocent folk. But the line was drawn on the sand, and he took the DC swamp side. He chose unwisely, and from here on, he will be known as Benedict Arnold! He might as well just switch parties once and for all. They will eat him alive.

You can predict what Pence will do.

Which option has more money in it for him.

He’s not complex in any way.

Simply, Pence has no defense in the matter. He’s a coward and liar!

There is NO defense possible for what he did.

Of course there is.

Under the U.S. Constitution he had one job to do on January 6th. He did it.

THE END.

If the Capitol hadn't been breached on J6, Ted Cruz had an agreement to have a bipartisan Electoral Commission formed to investigate election irregularities, just as had been done in the 1876 election.

That prospect, along with the numerous lawsuits that were still in play, it was not reasonable for even Pence to concede the election prior to the certification of the Electoral vote.

Because going along to get along is far better than challenging the corrupt system, right? He didn't even have the balls to try.

The Vice President of the United States has no authority to do what many Freepers are insisting Pence should have done on January 6th.

As Judge Smails said to the young man in Caddyshack:
“I’ve sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn’t want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.”

Maybe Pence betrayed Trump and the voters who re-elected him but were cheated by vote fraud as a form of tough love.

I don’t fault him due to who he is — one of those country clubbers (R) who thinks if he doesn’t rock the boat he will go to heaven.

Did he honestly believe the vote fraud ballot counting was acceptable? Or possibly wasn’t fraud?

If authors can have access to information then Pence certainly could.
