Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence ended his cash-strapped presidential campaign on Saturday, after struggling for months to convince Republican voters he was the best alternative to the man he once served with unswerving loyalty, Donald Trump.

As much of a piece of shit as Mike Pence is, at least he respected the rule of law and democracy. The same can’t be said for the Republican Party today.
Did he though? He supported orange man in every way for 4 years, defended him, and did nothing to stop him.
In the end on jan 6th he didnt act because he knew he had no legal standing to act.
In my opinion, he is evil because he saw true evil and abided it.
He'll endorse Trump this time as well. He's a horrible person but comes off like he's not, compared to others.
He will do anything it takes to remain marginally relevant.
Yes, the only reason he followed the absolute bare minimum he was legally expected to is fear. Fear that he would fail and become the front man for literally treason.
I agree totally. The guy happily followed, defended, and aided Trump in doing insane, evil shit. The only difference on January 6th is that Pence would have had to act alone instead of following someone, and he didn’t want to take on that risk. But I am sure he would have done it in a heartbeat if he felt sure it would benefit him.
You can tell this is the case because in the aftermath he had every opportunity to continue to stand up for democracy and he didn’t do shit.
Whiteout his integrity, the Jan 6 coup may have succeeded.
Presuming it was integrity gives him far too much credit. I too am glad he didnt go along with Trump's plans that day but where was his integrity before Jan 6th?
There was no path to any kind of victory for the Jan 6 coup. You think overrunning Congress is ever enough to overthrow a country? If they got all the way in and killed a bunch of Congress people, the whole government would just say “wow you guys really bested us here, here’s the keys to everything”?
