“Mike Is A Useful idiot”–Former Trump Advisor Blasts Pence Over Election Certification

Peter Navarro was a key adviser in the Trump administration.

He was an important part of making sure the Trump administration delivered on the promises that were made to the American people.

Navarro is releasing a new book called “In Trump Time.”

The book is going to be a behind-the-scenes look at what took place during the Trump administration.

This will be a trustworthy account, unlike the books that come out from Fake News hacks and RINOs.

In the book, he talks about the fight to stop Joe Biden from stealing the 2020 election.

According to Navarro, Pence was fed a “bad legal brief.”

From The Daily Mail:

Pence helped undermine that plan with a memo he released the morning of Jan. 6th stating he did not have the authority to send back the votes. Pence reached it along with top aides including former chief of staff Marc Short.

‘Mike is a useful idiot,’ Navarro said in an interview. In another Shakespearian analogy, Navarro refers to Short as the manipulative Iago from Othello.

He described a moment that he also recounts in the book where Trump after meeting him in the Oval Office after complaining of difficulties getting in touch with Pence to discuss the overturn strategy.

Trump had ‘reached out to the Vice President’s office and said call me. And I got the call. I mean, I’m sitting there, and I get a call from the Situation Room,’ according to Navarro.

An operator told him: ‘We have the Vice President on last and great. And then then it’s then it’s crickets. And I call the [situation] room back and say you know what happened? And they said: “Well, the vice president says he’ll have to do it another time.”‘

Pence never called back. Navarro suspects Short was involved in spiking the conversation.

‘And that’s got that’s got Short’s paw prints all over it,’ he said.

He said after Short joined Pence, the VP became a ‘prisoner of the [billionaire] Koch brothers. And that was a betrayal. That was a flat-out betrayal.’

Navarro had anxiety over ‘Pence’s possible disloyalty.’

Pence wrote in a Jan. 6th letter to lawmakers that: ‘It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not.’

Navarro says Pence was fed a ‘bad legal brief.’ When Pence preemptively put out the statement, ‘it was just a pure violation of process,’ he said. ‘He should have gone to the president and shared that memo with the president’s lawyers.’

Pence is a creep, a weak sister. No profiles in courage for him.

Trump wouldn’t go that far-close perhaps.

I was so disappointed when trump tagged him as his running mate. Aside from throwing Christians under the bus for the homosexual agenda as Governor, he has a patronizing, wannabe Reagan, demeanor when he speaks that seems so disingenuous.

There are a lot of useful idiots in politics -- and even more useless ones.

Navarro ought to reflect before casting stones.

Did Pence spend too much time with Fauci when they were working on the covid pandemic and was influenced by him?

Pence was Trump’s big mistake. What, exactly, did he add to the ticket?

Peter Navarro is full of crap on this issue and always has been.

Using your imagination to assign powers to the Vice President that don’t exist in the law or the Constitution does not bring said imaginary powers into reality.

Wow. Pence really blew it. Loser. I listened to him for four years and it was painful every time.

Exactly-- when he immediately rolled over for the business class about so-called "gay marriage" I thought that was a big red flag.

Pence is another "conservative" who is big on conservatism when he's fundraising and another stinking RINO when he's not.

The Constitution gives the VP the power of proceeding over the certification, but doesn't specify more. That power is a political office, and it certainly would have been within Pence's power to suspend the certification and kick it back to the states whose legislatures had suggested he do so.

He could have also resigned rather than proceed, in which case the certification would have had to be postponed.

He just rolled over for what he knew was a fraudulent election.

If you're not willing to fight, there's no point in pretending to resist.
