It says a lot about Mike Pence for standing up to Donald Trump and refusing to endorse him in this year’s presidential election. The trauma of January 6th has had a lasting toll on Pence. Trump wanted an attack on the Capitol and he had no intention of protecting Pence or any other US elected official.
Trump supporters were shouting “Hang Pence!” outside the Capitol.
Trump put Pence’s family in danger on January 6th.
Trump pressured Pence to commit major crimes and overturn the election he had lost.
During that deadly insurrection, not once did Trump check to see if Pence was safe. Trump chose to attack Pence in several tweets, putting a target on Pence’s back during the insurrection.
Why would Pence support another four years under Trump when he knows the outcome of a despot who refuses to give up his power?
There are many similarities between Trump and Biden but one way they are different is that Biden would relinquish his power if he loses. Maybe that is the only difference between the two candidates? Biden would not likely opt for an insurrection, but he would definitely not go out quietly from office either. In some way or another, if Biden lost, he will create chaos somewhere as a punishment.
It’s incredible that Trump is even running after the insurrection he set forth and created. Just from the accounts from former VP Pence, what occurred on January 6th should have Trump disqualified and in jail.
It would be interesting to see if questioned, what Pence thinks of the legality and ethics of Trump running when he participated and created an insurrection to overthrow the government.
Based on the Constitution, Trump shouldn’t be running for another term as president. His court cases against him should have all concluded at this point in time. None of his judicial appointees should be involved in his cases either at any level of the judiciary. It shows how corrupt the US judicial system is and how power can allow privileged people to commit crimes with impunity.
