Pence says ‘history will hold Donald Trump accountable’ for Jan. 6th
Washington Post ^ | March 11, 2023 | Ben Terris

Posted on 03/11/2023 9:42:05 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

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.

Mike Pence will forever be remembered as a coward... that is assuming we are allowed to have a recorded history, because after his cowardice during the coup we may not be allowed to write anything down that isn’t approved by the state before to much longer.

Mike Pence is a coward and until he repents for his cowardice he deserves nothing but the utmost disdain.

He knows that their are innocent people locked up around the J6 events and will do nothing about it... MIKE PENCE IS A COWARD.

Nothing about Trump’s alleged “style” has impeded him. Only the machinations of the Uniparty has.

Trump owes no loyalty to any RINO. To do so means to pledge loyalty to the left-wing Uniparty. Pence was not jilted by lack of loyalty from Trump; it was the other way around. If Pence became Trump’s enemy, it was Pence’s choosing, and his actions therein show that he is a left-winger, even more than his about-face on Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act when threatened by Apple CEO Tim Cook.

I once had a pretty decent opinion about Pence.

He seemed to be able to keep his mouth shut and support his
boss. He seemed to be supportive. Behind the scenes, I’m
pretty sure he wasn’t nearly as sound as I thought.

Now he’s tripling down on the January 6th, propaganda. He
really should be ashamed for doing what he’s doing.

I’d like him to wind up with about 1.00% approval rating.

Boy, was I ever wrong about this guy.

Let that be a lesson learned. These guys can look good
for some time, and then in a blink of the eye, they go
south.

We really have to be on our toes these days.

When they write the history, America will be a destitute broken-down, third world outhouse full of foreign illegal aliens who broke in and robbed America of its wealth. The Snowflake and Zeros will be nothing but malingering deadbeats who can’t remember which gender they were when they escaped the abortionist’s snips, and who all now play “first responders” on TV shows loaded with homosexual and minority “first responder” action figures with white males as the villains and “ignorant and evil capitalists.”

The uniparty has certainly done it’s best to protect the interests of politicians more interested in their own self interest than that of the country. Unlike Trump, who always puts America First.

It’s astounding how many supposedly proclaimed Christians in DC and throughout the political realm continually put their politics above their faith. Fakes and liars only worship their own greed.

Some people have put themselves in positions of value but have zero skills at anything. Schumer. Pelosi, Obama, Gore, etc. Pence is another.

Mike Pence will go into the history books as a recent reincarnation of Pontious Pilate.

“Something odd about Pence. Always has his head tilted a little.”

He has some of the same mannerisms as George W. Bush.

The head tilt. The pause and smirk. The head bob.

From a previous post discussing the events of 1/6:

q6: Other than new rules, emergency rules, what other peculiar things occurred when the speaker reconvened?

a6: members were allowed to “vote” in proxy…remotely…not being present…(you can use your imagination about what conditions were placed on ALL members during this time to prevent anyone from “getting out of line”. Also clearly, it was at THIS NEW SESSION that VP Pence, President of Congress, would also have no ability to even consider pausing the electoral certification…because there was no motions of disagreements on the matter. So in a technical legal claim, he is correct that he had no constitutional authority to address any issues of fraud or doubts about electoral irregularities. But this completely dismisses the FACT that congress created rules in this crisis/emergency that never allowed them to be floored! understand what happened in jan 6…don’t get hung up on viking impostors, stolen pelosi computers, podium heists, and complicit capitol police. understand the process and what happened and what WAS NOT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. this was a coup….it was a very organized and carefully planned coup. VP Pence without a doubt as well as most members of the house were quite aware of how the certification was going to be MANAGED. it would require new rules to prevent the debate clause from occurring! new rules that ONLY AN EMERGENCY CRISIS COULD CREATE! so they created an emergency. noting: I understand why many people have great interest in debunking the j6 event…I get that. I think it is important to dissect and examine the events of that day. but please…step back and understand WHY these things happened…examine the chain of events in congress…why those two motions that would have at least paused the certification THAT WOULD GIVE VP PENCE THE CONSTITUTIONALLY RECOGNIZED POWER TO MOVE TO SUSPEND THE ELECTORAL CERTIFICATION AND THEN EXAMINE THE IRREGULARITIES AND CLAIMS OF FRAUD! at the very center of this coup stands Pence…the same individual who also spoiled President Trump’s first opportunities in the earliest hours of his Presidency just 4 years prior, when he created and facilitated the removal of LTGEN Flynn. I will not spend much time on this thread explaining why LTGEN Flynn was so important to President Trump and why the IC was so afraid he would have advisory power to the President. That I will leave for another day, another time. But understand this clearly: MIKE PENCE WAS AND IS WORKING FOR THE MOST CORRUPT CRIMINAL TREASONOUS PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT.

I guess Mikey hasn’t seen the tapes that everyone else has seen. Or he’s just another lying POS like Adam Schiff.

Mike Pence is a liar and a traitor. How he can continue to appear in public to spew his lies just shows what a lack of true morals this mutt has.
