Pence, McConnell, and McCarthy are skipping Trump's departure ceremony

Vice President Mike Pence and the top two Republicans in Congress, soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, plan to skip President Donald Trump's departure ceremony on Wednesday morning.

Trump, bucking tradition, will depart from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland for his home in Florida at 8 a.m. ET without meeting with President-elect Joe Biden or attending his inauguration ceremony later in the day.

In most previous years, the outgoing president has met with the incoming president and first lady at the White House. After attending their successors' inauguration ceremonies, former presidents often depart from the Capitol in a military helicopter to head to Joint Base Andrews to fly off to begin their post-presidential life.

Axios reported on Tuesday that McConnell and McCarthy will attend a morning mass service scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m. with Biden at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostate in Washington, DC, down the street from the White House.

The same ‘plantation living’ that’s voted the “lesser of 2 evils” for @ least the last 40yrs, while getting stabbed in the back repeatedly?

I believe that is the thinking of the establishment, but this time it is different. If nothing else President Trump opened our eyes to just how slimy these politicians really are.

[Dawgreg]

I’ve already requested that when we get the House back in 2022 put Jim Jordan in the Speakership and send McCarthy back home!!!!

[Lumper20]

Agree. I despise backstabbers. These three plus more trashed Trump because they wanted to stay on the Gov payroll plus FERS and all they can steal.

[JonPreston]

His relationship with Pence was all fake, because Pence is fake

So true, and to the point. Thank you.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

FU McConnell and FU McCarthy, too.

[GOPJ]

Odd if true.

Looks like a liberal woman wrote it...might not be true.

[Dawgreg]

In my dreamers mind I was thinking that the National Guard was called in by President Trump all over the country to squash down the crazy leftists when a good amount of the government is perp walked out of the swamp and martial law or Insurrection Act is declared......am I nuts? Don’t answer that........;)

[Berosus]

Biden’s mental state is what British doctors call LOBNH, “Lights On But Nobody Home.” Therefore I suspect he won’t even notice that Trump left without meeting with him.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

In reality, whether he attends or not, it's Pence's departure ceremony. Any random FReeper would have done a better job than Pence, and would have certainly had our President's back. Good bye, sucka.

[Lumper20]

Agree. This election was total fraud in 5-7 states. Anyone who had OAN TV could clearly see the fraud. Trucking boxes full of fake Biden votes from NY to PA is FRAUD. Look at GA where more people voted then were registered in counties. This happened all over where Dominion voting machines were used.

DJT never should have tried to make peace with the GOP. Now, it has to be burnt down to the ground.

And salted afterwards. IMHO, the party, collectively, committed the most heinous act of cowardice I've ever seen in my 55 years.

I hope their chains set lightly upon them and and may posterity forget that they were our countrymen.

[RoosterRedux]

Yep.

Things may seem peaceful on the surface, but behind the scenes, this war is raging.

So there is the fog...

The truth will come out, but it will be a while.

[who knows what evil?]

No more GOP votes...ever.

[SuperLuminal]

"Pence, McConnell, and McCarthy..."

Just to mention three of the deep-state traitors who qualify for the "Scurvy Bastards Award"

[j_guru]

"a REAL bombshell or this country as we knew it is finished."

At this late stage in the game, I suspect that all that is left are the true "bombshell" because they have thrown everything else including the kitchen sink, and nothing has made a dent. I believe that Trump has been holding something back, knowing that if he makes the move, it's all or nothing.

When he proves the statement “The mob was fed lies” I might, just might reconsider his promise with mr boehner to remove obamacare, lock stock and barrel if re-elected?

Liar, liar!!!

[who knows what evil?]

Both dems and pubbies are part of the same antiChrist system...no votes for either.

[Midwesterner53]

Pence can’t be at the air base at 8am and the capitol at noon? He has done great damage to any future plans he might have to run for President.

[Trump_Triumphant]

Biden will be committing sacrilege if he take Communion. Great way to start off his “presidency”.
