Pence defends not conceding 2020 election before Jan. 6
The Hill ^ | 07/12/2023 | Jared Gans

Posted on 07/12/2023 9:29:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday defended not conceding the 2020 presidential election until after Congress certified Electoral College the results in January 2021, pointing to the Trump campaign’s ongoing lawsuits challenging the results.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Pence in an interview on Tuesday about why he did not publicly concede the election in mid-December, after the members of the Electoral College had cast their votes.

Pence said he wanted to be “respectful” of the process, as “a lot” of the lawsuits that the campaign filed in the key states that clinched President Biden’s victory were still active in the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, when Pence presided over the session of Congress to read the votes and the Capitol was attacked by Trump supporters.

That still doesn’t convince me to support his campaign.

“Pence said he wanted to be “respectful” of the process, as “a lot” of the lawsuits that the campaign filed in the key states that clinched President Biden’s victory were still active in the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021...”

Sorry, Pence but that half-in, half-out stance isn’t going to cut it with the Never Trumpers. Remember, they want all the lawyers who were filing those cases disbarred. It’s treason to them to even file a lawsuit challenging the results. So Pence is just saying, in their minds “I had to wait to see if those treasonous lawsuits would work”.

In Wisconsin, Pence supported a women who had a ten point lead as governor in the primary. A few weeks later she lost. Her opponent simply distributed a picture of her shaking hands with Pence and she lost badly.

Pence has no base. He will get about 5%. They could not steal the election without Pence helping. And everyone remembers.

Pennies wanted there to be an “insurrection” on January, 6. He did his part.

I will gift him with loud and raucous boos and disrespect. I hope people show these vermin exactly what they deserve for what they have done to us.

I’m no fan of Mike Pence, but I would find no fault with him over his role in the process related to the January 6th election certification vote in 2021.

Pence: a poison pill administered to the nominee by the GOPe... much like GHWB.

His picture should be in the dictionary next to the word “flaccid.”

He’s no better than the rest of em....just about as useless as teats on a boar hog.
And just as corrupt as King pedoPIG, The First.
As posted above, I can hardly wait to see him hit the campaign trail.
Maybe he’ll campaign from his basement. It worked so well for the King.

“the lawsuits that the campaign filed in the key states that clinched President Biden’s victory”

interesting phrasing-

No Standing, or no decision on the merits leads to clinching.

sounds like the clinch Butt Cheeks try when there is loose stool about.

Clinch ain’t it- Let It Slide for the Big Guy is more like it.
