In a speech Saturday night, former vice president Mike Pence delivered what amounted to his strongest rebuke of Donald Trump, criticizing the former president for his role in the lead-up to the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol as well as attempts to rewrite the history of that day.
“President Trump was wrong,” Pence said. “I had no right to overturn the election. And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day. And I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”
The former vice president was speaking at the Gridiron dinner, a white-tie event thrown by journalists in Washington, D.C. that this year featured speeches by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy in addition to Pence. The annual event tends to be a lighthearted affair, with skits and parody songs performed by members of the Washington press corps.

“Half of us here knew it was a trap before it happened.”
My sister and BIL had planned to attend but changed their minds at the last minute. They didn’t think “trap”, but just decided not to go. Whew!!
He’s toast.
I wonder too. Though he got a coin or two or something from someone on the Capitol after it happened. He’s another one, like Paul Ryan, who appears so harmless, aw shucks-ish and in reality are the worst kind of snakes.
I don’t remember much about his father. Good point.
One has to wonder what drives one like Pence who, with every utterance, seems to be hell-bent on cementing his legacy as another Judas Iscariot, Benedict Arnold, or Vidkun Quisling.
“He needed to show loyalty to his VP “
WTF is that supposed to mean? He showed too much loyalty to the rat
Judas began his slide into treason when he recruited the evil Fauci and Birx.
“History will hold that bastard Obama and his his pedo sidekick responsible “
No it won’t. History is, for the most part, written by libs.
“He knows that their are innocent people locked up around the J6 events and will do nothing about it... “
And he expects people to think he’s a Christian. A Christian NEVER would do that.
No Mikey; only Dems and Liberals.
bingo
Pence need not worry how he will be remembered. History generally does not remember useful idiots.
Desantis STAY OUT OF THE SH!T STORM. Run in '28!!!
I knew something was going to happen before J6 I’m now comprehending the scope of the operation.
I told you years ago that Trump would be held accountable.
“All you stupid effs here backing Pence. Stupid m effers.”
I don’t notice anyone here (FR) backing Pence. If they are, I missed it.
I was saying in 2016 that Trump should choose a woman as his running mate. That couldn’t have turned out any worse.
My eyes! My eyes!
” it was Nancy’s capital police that brought guns and assassinated someone.”
And it was Nancy’s Pelosi’s daughter, a professional documentary film maker, who just HAPPENED to be at the Capitol, with a camera crew, that very day.
“If Pence actually said this this he is an AS*&OLE”
Even if he didn’t say it he’s an asshole.
Thank you for that.
