I have read people who claim they are patriots and Trump supporters saying today that Pence committed treason,

Treason is a legal term, “ the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign’s family”.

Makes me so angry, the ignorance of using that word that way. I’m not crazy about the way things went but lets stay informed and intelligent regarding these legal definitions.

I agree that terms matter. Otherwise, it’s just a lot of noise without the necessary details that would help with direction.

I agree, though it is not the first time it has been misused during the last few years.

I don’t think Pence is a traitor; JUST A PUSSY!
