Why is it not being discussed that Mike Pence

[Zoonart]

has not condemned the riot and insurrection either?
He was VP... why has he not defended our Democracy?
Where us his denunciation of the mob that called for his execution, let alone the monster who egg ed them on?

Asking for a friend.

[alwaysinasnit]

1. He has to ask permission from Mother to retrieve his balls first.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Probably in hiding. No witness protection for him.

He speaks out, he's likely to cease living.

[Zoonart]

7. I don't give AF if He is in hiding.

He has protection that you and I are paying for. He has a responsibility that goes with high office that he has shirked. He took an oath also.
No pass for Pence.

[TwilightZone]

16. He tweeted about it the same day and condemned it when certification restarted.

I'm not sure what else you think he should have done. As you may or may not have heard, he's no longer the VP.

[Zoonart]

18. I am aware that he is no longer VP.

I was not aware if the tweet. Thanks for that.
Leadership does not end with the end of office.

[choie]

20. How about coming out against trump

And offering to testify or at least make a statement now.

[TwilightZone]

3. He condemned it that night, when certification restarted.

It was the first thing he did.

[dalton99a]

12. Yep, I watched the proceedings

[dmr]

4. I've been wondering that myself

I can't help think that he's trying to figure out the best way he can take advantage of his situation.

Plus, I think he and Mother are scared.

[BigmanPigman]

5. The fly that landed on his head has

more self respect than Pence does.

[BlueSpot]

6. Nevermind

I'll keep this part of my original post: He did defend the democracy on Jan 6-7.

For the rest, I stand corrected on viewing the video posted above.

[Blue Owl]

8. Mother told him to keep his powder dry

[Bev54]

9. Why is it not being discussed that Trump and Trump alone

was the one disparaging Pence and sending the rioters on him, when in fact he knew Pence could not and would not change the vote. Sure there were a lot of people screaming stop the steal but it was only Trump that sent them for Pence.

[TwilightZone]

14. Agreed.

I agree with Pence on basically nothing politically, but he didn't deserve this, particularly at the behest of "his" president. He also condemned the insurrection quite pointedly when the certification restarted.

[dalton99a]

10. He did while in hiding, and made a speech about it before the certification

[Zoonart]

19. Was not aware of this.

[PufPuf23]

11. Pence wants to run for POTUS as GOP candidate when the shit storm dies down.

Alas the sedition is going to simmer along waiting for opportunity if each and every outbreak is not stomped with prejudice.

The MSM is complicit in the efforts to mold "reality". Recall who owns MSM.

The assholes are on TV to the USA and World, lying about what recently occurred on and is on readily available video tape; allowed by MSM, not just Faux.

Yeah good question where is Pence? Reportedly Pence and Trump did not speak until 5 days after January 6. Pence knows and should be legally punished if he does not of his own volition come forward and speak the truth.

[choie]

22. In other words

He cares more about his political career than our democracy.

[Duppers]

30. He has a snowball's chance! SUBPOENA him..

To testify to the committee now.

[Mr.Bill]

13. He's got a nice cushy job at the Heritage Foundation,

which is about as good as he could dream for his future. Probably pretty much a no-show job, too.

He doesn't want to fuck that up.

[ecstatic]

15. I was just saying to my mom: If pence can't even stand up for himself

against trump & the mob, why the hell would he expect his former colleagues in Congress to stand up for him?

I'm glad pence did the right thing by not pretending that he had power to change the outcome of the election, but pence had complete control over what would happen next with regard to trump.

He ducked and dodged his own duties, so for me, it's a wash.

[TwilightZone]

17. You mean like this?

[ecstatic]

26. Everyone was begging pence to 25th amendment trump

But he didn't. Meanwhile, trump was already signaling the next attack to his Twitter followers.

Luckily, Twitter stepped in, cancelled trump's account and saved our republic.

21. FACTS people not angry rants. WE ARE NOT Q

BECAUSE PENCE DID DENOUNCE the Capitol Riots ON JAN 6

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/533042-pence-denounces-capitol-rioters-violence-never-wins
BY MORGAN CHALFANT - 01/06/21 08:37 PM EST

Vice President Pence late Wednesday evening denounced the violence at the U.S. Capitol in remarks on the Senate floor as lawmakers reconvened to resume the counting of Electoral College votes.

“To those who wreaked havoc in our Capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the people’s house,” Pence said.

“As we reconvene in this chamber, the world will again witness the resilience and strength of our democracy, for even in the wake of unprecedented violence and vandalism at this Capitol, the elected representatives of the people of the United States have assembled again on the very same day to support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Pence continued.


BECAUSE PENCE HELPED GET THE NATIONAL GUARD TO THE CAPITOL after tRump did NOTHING

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/pence-national-guard/index.html


Trump, who has proven over the past year to be eager to deploy the National Guard when violence breaks out, initially resisted doing so on Capitol Hill Wednesday as a mob of his supporters breached the building, per a source familiar. Pence played a key role in coordinating with the Pentagon about deploying them, and urged them to move faster than they were.




I am NOT saying PENCE is perfect, far from it. But he did NOT throw the electoral votes out. He came back into that room and did what needed to be done in his role as VP and did NOT play tRump's game.

[dalton99a]

23. He was a useless ornament for four years, but I give him credit for acting like normal at the end

He also showed up at Biden's inauguration

[TigressDem]

27. tRump really has lowered the bar.... and if Covid had taken tRump down...

Pence might have actually stood up. Who knows?

But yeah, it is what it is.

I WAS SURPRISED when I found out he had stood up and done the right thing.

WAS NOT totally expecting it.

[Zoonart]

24. I did not see it day of.

It hasn't gotten much play since. I guess I just want everyone's anger to be as sharp as mine.

[TigressDem]

28. Yeah, I was surprised about it myself.

But I also think of how crazy tRump is and I am certain all those murderers he pardoned are just waiting for something to do.


Or pissed off QAnons

Pence is like Benedict Arnold to them.

[bamagal62]

25. Crickets from pence.

I’m pretty sure he’s terrified.

[TigressDem]

29. Yah, he left DC and hasn't obtained a forwarding address yet.

“They may be ‘crashing with kinfolk back in Indiana or staying at the Indiana governor’s getaway cabin, but either way they’re laying low out of fear that Trump supporting loonies may want to lynch them for betraying Orange Plague in his hour of need,” etc.
