Former Vice President Mike Pence says in his new book that he was angry, not frightened when a mob of Donald Trump’s supporters broke into the Capitol chanting for him to be hanged on Jan. 6, 2021.
The 63-year-old Pence’s memoir, “So Help Me God,” was released Tuesday and is the first full recounting of the Capitol riot in the former Indiana governor’s own words.
“They had come to protest the result of the election and to prevent Congress from fulfilling its responsibility to open and count the Electoral College votes,” Pence writes of the rioters. “And, as I later learned, many had come looking for me.”
Pence, who had remained loyal and refused to criticize the 76-year-old Trump’s raucous leadership style for four years, adds that he reached a breaking point that afternoon when he realized the president’s “reckless words had endangered my family and all those serving at the Capitol.”

Maybe Pence was asking AOC for a date as long as his wife could come.
Pence is in the worst of all possible situations. The Deep State will never accept him because he was Trump’s Man for four years. The MAGAites will never accept him because he was a profile in cowardice at the one moment in his political life when he could have saved his country from corruption. To “pence,” meaning to refuse to stand for truth when one has the chance, could well become a verb in the language.
Did you attend Ashley Babbitt funeral mike ?
No ?
Why not ?
What a liarcrat p.o.s. you are pence.
What did they get you on video doing Mike? Something un-Christian?
I wonder what those people thought they were going to do once they got there.
Just dumb.
On that we're in 100% agreement. I gritted my teeth when Trump picked Pence. Of course, some of Trump's picks I liked but turned out to be bad picks. The biggest disappointment IMHO was Jeff Sessions.
What a drama queen. WHAT "reckless words"???
Some Christian you are Mike, to lie like that!
I figure he’ll sell maybe 100 books.
Someone (Boris Epshteyn, I think) said that the book Chris Christie wrote sold 39 copies. (Probably a joke, but who knows?)
Since the FBI had many embeds with the proud boys, what are the choices?
1). Did the FBI know ahead of time about the planned “insurrection” and do nothing to prevent it?
2) Did they urge people to enter the Capitol?
3) Did they instigate the breech of the Capitol?
We still do not know who opened the 2000 pound doors from inside the Capitol.
The New York Post has been going insane the past few days with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Might as well be the New York Times but in tabloid form.
No, actually, Pence and the rest of those clowns endangered themselves by turning a blind eye to, or outright abetting, the massive fraud in the 2020 election. Thanks to them, we’ve just watched it happen all over again in 2022.
We really need some effective libel laws in this country.
I’ve concluded that no matter what the subject is, a Seinfeld reference can always be found!
Pence is a pussy and a scummy traitor.
“ Trump made so many hiring mistakes like Pence”
Perhaps. The good ones who resisted bribes and blackmailing schemes eps isle got hauled into jail, so…
Might have to change my tag line from hillary to Mike.
Mike, this book may be your truth, but keep in mind the stories from it don’t leave you looking very presidential. You sound like a trauma victim still in middle of recovery. Perhaps that was your intention.
