Mike Pence will not endorse for president Donald Trump, the man he served as vice-president for four years but whose supporters chanted for Pence to be hanged as they attacked Congress on January 6.
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” the former Indiana governor and former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination told Fox News on Friday.
Asked why, given that he previously promised to endorse the eventual nominee, Pence mentioned 6 January 2021, the day a mob attacked Congress and Trump was reported to have told aides Pence “deserved” to be hanged for refusing to block certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
You're viewing a single thread.
I would hope not after the Trump mob tried to hang Pence. What even is this timeline.
not only that, but ask yourself why it was important that he "know" (and trust) the driver of his escape car?
he was afraid trump would disappear him.
I'm usually on board with you, but I think "disappear" is a bit too far at that stage. More likely it was "sheltered in a secure location" or "sequestered at Andrews AFB," but either way not to return to Chambers so Grassley could take over and throw the certification to a House vote.
At that stage they'd need the legitimacy of Pence being alive and safe, but unable to perform duties due to the unrest. Hammer and anvil.
Dispose of him later when things are done & dusted with the new regime installed.
Um... Just speculating.
What??
Either way, getting in that truck meant getting dead.
He already refused to play ball. They weren’t going to let him off again.
LOL, assassination wasn't in the cards. These idiots thought the process would break if the VP wasn't present. For what amounts to a formality.
It's all so dumb and horrific. Shit gave me PTSD and now I know what "triggered" truly means. I can't watch 60-seconds of video without getting my AR out the safe, checking it, and leaning it on my desk. Talked about fucked up...
And yet, “I know you, I trust you, but I don’t know him” I’d more or less a direct quote from pence about why he refused to get in the truck
Maybe it was in the cards, maybe it wasn’t. Doesn’t change the fact that he believed it. (And also knew that getting him away was already a backup plan. Remember they wanted to hang pence for not going with plan a)
