Pence says Trump told him he was ‘too honest’ for refusing to overturn election results
NY Post ^ | 11/09/2022 | Victor Nava

Vice President Mike Pence revealed on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump criticized him for being “too honest” and warned that “thousands are gonna hate your guts” in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

In the piece published by the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, Pence said Trump made the remarks on New Year’s Day 2021 after Pence refused to stop the certification of the 2020 election results.

In the meeting, Pence said he was not going to support a lawsuit filed by Rep. Louie Gohmert to grant the vice president “exclusive authority and sole discretion” to decide which electoral votes to count.

“I don’t want to see ‘Pence Opposes Gohmert Suit’ as a headline this morning,” Trump told Pence five days before the riot at the Capitol, according to the former vice president.

I no longer believe in "X said that Y said" from any political figure.

Seriously - this guy has said more in the past six months than he ever said in four years as VP.

Pence - you’re not getting the nomination, just stop.

Totally self-serving statement on Pence’s part.

Simultaneously deifying himself and condemning Trump.

What a galactically jerky thing to say.

Sorry Mike, the fact that cheating happened in 2020 has been reinforced by the 2022 midterms.

FR is just full of hate Trump articles lately.

This is meant to turn us against Trump because the GOPe can’t control him. Pence is a GOPe gopher.. He does their bidding.

Judas Pence once again flashes his traitor leg.

He can stick it up his cavernous pit.

I think it probably was more like you are too much of a pussy to do anything about it.

Why would Pence reveal private conversations between himself and President
Trump?
Because Pence is a snake in the grass.
Retire Pence.

Pence could say now that Trump told him just about anything, but if it happened, what was the context? If Trump said something like that, what he may have meant was, “The other side is massively cheating. You have to be clever and recognize that and act accordingly. What you think of as ‘honesty’ is just weakness and surrender.”

If Trump really said that (and maybe he didn’t), it would be one more example of his inability to control his tongue — for his own good.
