Former Vice President Mike Pence said in a new interview that former President Trump’s tweet during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack attacking Pence was “reckless.”

“It angered me,” Pence told ABC’s David Muir. “But I turned to my daughter who was standing nearby, and I said, ‘It doesn’t take courage to break the law, it takes courage to uphold the law.’ ”

Former Vice President Mike Pence said in a new interview that former President Trump’s tweet during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack attacking Pence was “reckless.”

“It angered me,” Pence told ABC’s David Muir. “But I turned to my daughter who was standing nearby, and I said, ‘It doesn’t take courage to break the law, it takes courage to uphold the law.’ ”

“And the president’s words were reckless. It’s clear he decided to be part of the problem,” Pence added.

Pence’s remark came after Muir read Trump’s 2:24 p.m. tweet on Jan. 6 as rioters were storming the Capitol with some threatening Pence. The tweet began, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”

I used to really like Pence. What a disappointment. He should go sit with Chris Christie and they can complain together.

Pence is the Santorium candidate, he’ll get a small fraction of the religious conservative vote but never anything significant.

You’ll be saying the same about Desanctimonius soon enough. Politicians are phonies. They are all playing a role. They were all against Trump. They they pretending to be for him while it looked like he could take them down now they’re openly against him again.

Nobody listens to Muir.
Nobody listens to Pence.
The Hill? Certainly a pile.

Nothing here of import.

Oh, bye the way, It’s for our PDJT The Goat, if he wants it.
It would be for DeSantis, only AFTER that decision is clear.

‘It doesn’t take courage to break the law, it takes courage to uphold the law.’

Pence does not realize it yet, but he will go down in history as the biggest coward for not upholding the law and refusing to certify the voter-fraud states.

Had he done so, it would have gone back to the state legislatures, and, there is a good chance he would have prevented the steal.

We would not be in this mess now, in all likelihood.

Enjoy your delusions Mike. History is coming to get you.

This interview is not going to help Mike reinvent himself politically.
He looks weakened, morose, pessimistic and unpresidential. Does not present himself like someone ready to lead the nation.

I never did. I thought he was a snake from the beginning. I wish Trump chose Gen Flynn as his VP.

Did anyone notice how almost every Trump associate has been raided in the night by FIB or slammed in a court of law but Pence has immunity ?

He’s nothing more than a pompous, sanctimonious RINO.

Agreed he needs to STFU and go away. He should get a room with Liz Cheney.

Cowardly traitors like Pence should just crawl back under the rocks from which they emerged. They have been emboldened by their fellow traitors rigging the elections once again, and the apparent “defeat” of Trump. You would never have heard from their wormlike voices if there had truly been a red wave. Cheating cost us victory.

That will certainly be the case when people tire of these stolen elections and the crap they produce. It will be seen as something that built, over time, with obvious fraud in 2020. History will show Pence standing there like a dummy and doing nothing.

Pence also did nothing about the Virus when he was put in charge of it. It’s either his nature, or he knows more than he is letting on.

You can see why they do this. First of all, none of them has the cojones to face the onslaught of hate one gets from the media and often one’s family and friends for supporting someone our Media Overlords CAN’T CONTROL. (The stick.)

Most of them go for the carrot, that is, the condescending appreciation and pats on the head, along with guaranteed TV appearances, book sales, and other good-boy perks a la J McCain.
