Rep Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said on Sunday that former Vice President Mike Pence was a hero on Jan 6, 2021, for resisting pressure to overturn the 2020 election from former President Trump and his allies.
During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” moderator Chuck Todd asked Raskin, a member of the select House panel investigating Jan. 6, if he considers Pence a hero for defying Trump’s orders.
“Well, you know, in a time of absolutely scandalous betrayal of people’s oaths of office and crimes being committed all over the place, somebody who does their job and sticks to the law will stand out as a hero on that day,” Raskin replied.
“And I think on that day he was a hero for resisting all of the pressure campaigns and the coercive efforts to get him to play along with this continuation of ‘the big lie,’ this big joke that he could somehow call off all the proceedings himself,” Raskin added.
Raskin’s remarks come after the House panel last week detailed the pressure campaign on Pence leading up to the former president’s supporters’ attack on the U.S. Capitol.

And I think on that day he was a hero for resisting all of the pressure campaigns and the coercive efforts
He was a traitor much like bill barr
And the traitor will pay a heavy political price. Bet.
His career is over. I dont know why he bothers giving speeches etc.
.
Pence Sold out Trump for a $4 Million dollar Book deal and a No Show Swamp gig.
Pence and his wife are all about money. He was a sleazy Phil Donahue wannabe with a small time talk show on local Indiana TV, and aspired to Major markets back then.
.
Pence is a real Democrat hero. What a guy.
Members of Congress from both chambers, in the week before January 6th, filed to RAISE OBJECTIONS to certifying the results of the election as it is their constitutional right to do. Both chambers were scheduled to hear objections and then vote on whether or not to certify the election.
The members requested a week to 10 days delay on certification to make their objections and vote. There is nothing special about the January 6 date, it is not in the Constitution; January 20th is in the Constitution.
Never-Trumpee Marc Short, Judas Pence’s Chief of Staff, wrote a letter signed by Pence, on the morning of January 6th stating that Pence had no intention to “overturn” the results of the election, the fraudulent election.
Mr. Short, with Pence in agreement, DENIED Members of Congress their RIGHT TO HEAR OBJECTIONS.
This denial of rights is a core part of the Coup.
As government employmees, having taken an Oath of Allegiabce to the United States, both Short and Pence committed acts of TREASON in denying due process to the People’s representatives thereby oarticipatinging in an overthrow of a duly elected President.
He was a coward for not supporting the Constitution
And he violated his Oath of Office. Barr too. That alone should wipe out retirement pay.
I one can accuse ANY Democrat of being a hero that day.
Pence, the human conveyor belt part of the electoral college.
If he is praised by a rat 🐀 then that should be a dead giveaway, that he really IS a RINO.
HEROS DO NOT ENDORSE FRAUD!
Pence can be proud a NUTCASE like Raskin is in his corner!!
Tells you, ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the kind of adulation they gave to John McCain for saving Obamacare...or being plain ornery to fellow Republicans.
Sure he was...! And he should run for President to see how well-love his heroism is.
Pence may have been right but he’s no hero.
It sure is nice to have a Marxist giving Pence a pat on the back.
