Mike Pence reportedly once 'lost it' after Trump threw a crumpled newspaper article at him

[diehardblue]

Former Vice President Mike Pence reportedly "lost it" and "snarled" at former President Donald Trump in 2018 after getting a crumpled up newspaper article thrown at him.

A new piece in The Wall Street Journal adapted from reporter Michael Bender's book Frankly, We Did Win This Election describes the conflict that arose between Trump and Pence in early 2021 when the vice president was set to preside over the certification of the election results. The report describes how Pence "wasn't practiced in confronting" Trump, with the only example that administration officials could think of dating back to 2018.

1. Yeah, Whatever

Thou dost protest a bit much.

[Kingofalldems]

3. Who?

[SoCalDavidS]

4. Mike Pence

He's a Suck Up. I bet he wrote a strongly worded letter after Drumpf instigated an attack on his life in January.

[11 Bravo]

20. He was deeply Susan Collinsed when TFG tried to have him killed.

[EYESORE 9001]

2. Not buying it

I remain convinced that Mike Pence is a milquetoast lickspittle toady who wouldn’t have done anything of the sort described in that article.

[marble falls]

5. That was more of a snap than a lost it. More people around 45 should have lost it.

[Blue Owl]

6. Never knew he had it

[Takket]

7. Don't care what he was mad about. Only thing that counts

Is what actions you actually take. Which was *checks notes*. Nothing.

[Demsrule86]

9. Despite the pressure to refuse to preside over the delegates and do his job, Mike Pence still did it

and God knows what would have happened had he not done so. He still gets death threats...while I am not a Pence fan, he chose our Republic over kowtowing to Trump so I give credit where credit is due.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

11. The ONLY thing I give him any credit for

in four years as VP. I agree with you, it was a big thing.

To me, Trump is truly the boss from hell. And he relishes chaos and having people fearing for their jobs, which makes them totally compliant to his whims and temper tantrums.

I don't see how people can willingly give up their dignity and self-respect to put up with a creep like him. Unless they had none of either to give up in the first place.

[yellowcanine]

8. Yes. So much worse than " Hang Mike Pence!"

Whatever.

[themaguffin]

10. Oh whatever. Did it hit him on the head as he was giving trump a BJ?

[Under The Radar]

12. Trump is a loudmouth wussy. Pence stomped his ass

[Midnight Writer]

13. Now we know who the source was for this book.

I was puzzled Rupert would allow one of his minions to write a book critical of Trump.

Maybe he wants to boost another more compliant conservative like Pence.

[Mr.Bill]

14. What did he say?

"Gosh darn you, I'm telling mother!"?

[oasis]

16. lol

[Mr.Bill]

17. Maybe he took off his knee pads and threw them at Trump. n/t

[lame54]

15. What does that even look like?

[PufPuf23]

18. How were Mother's jaws detached from TFG's butt? nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

19. Mother wouldn't even harm a fly.

[UTUSN]

21. Hah!
