Et tu, Mike Pence?

This took almost 2 years, but here it is. Trump lapdog has his say:

Oh hell no. He’s a weak, sycophantic milquetoast.

pretty weak of him to wait until Trump world is already crumbing.

I’d give him a lot more credit if he spoke up a year ago.

This must be his 2024 POTUS campaign opener. Such a weiner.

I think he’ll make an attempt at a run. I doubt it’ll be very successful.

Whose idea was it to add pence to the ticket in 2016 anyway??

Embarrassing. If he was gonna say something like this, say it on 1/7 or stay quiet forever. This guy really took two years to work up some spine.

Sad.

While I do sympathize with the danger Pence and his family were in on 1/6 with a mob screaming “Hang Mike Pence,” I have to wonder - why the hell did it take almost 2 years for him to finally grow a spine and finally stand against the architect of that danger??

Campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus both had been pushing hard for Pence—each for his own reasons.

They thought Pence would go over well in the Midwest and with Evangelicals. But in all the books I read about the 2016 campaign, Trump was still deciding between Chris Christie and Pence down to the day the Pence announcement was made. Newt Gingrich was also in the mix.

I notice that “insurrection” is the ABC author’s word, not a quote from Pence. I doubt if Pence ever calls it that.

“Since leaving office, Pence has praised the policies of their administration while breaking with Trump over the latter’s fixation on the last Presidential race.” I agree with Pence on that.

Those are direct quotes about endangering Pence and his family and being reckless- “It was clear he decided to be part of the problem.”.

This was an interview for Pence’s already written book. If there had been a big red wave this election like many thought, Trump’s standing would be a lot higher. Pence couldn’t have known how that would turn out when he wrote the book.

You call that spine?

He said it on TV yesterday.

I presume the book is already written and his statements are consistent with the book.

Again with this spine bs. Tattletales aren’t “courageous” like y’all try to portray them. Most of the time, there’s something in it for them.
