Trump: Pence Should Be Investigated for Not Reversing My Election Loss

[Zorro]

Former President Donald Trump has urged congressional Jan. 6 investigators to open up a probe against his former vice president, Mike Pence, over his refusal to help Trump overturn the 2020 election result.

Pence and Trump haven’t been on speaking terms since last year, when the then-VP went against Trump’s orders and fulfilled his duty to certify Joe Biden’s election victory in Congress. But their relationship plumbed new depths Tuesday, when Trump released a statement saying that Pence should be under investigation for not reversing the 2020 election result.

In a furious statement posted by Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington on Tuesday, the former president once against attacked the House committee investigating the Capitol riot, and said the panel should be focusing on Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, rather than himself.

The ex-president wrote: “The Unselect Committee should be investigating why Nancy Pelosi did such a poor job of overseeing security and why Mike Pence did not send back the votes for recertification or approval, in that it has now been shown that he clearly had the right to do so!”

1. The Committee should call his bluff

and solicit Trump's testimony and help in the matter.

I'm sure it would work out well for him.

2. Not Borowitz or The Onion. Wow.

I had to click the link to make sure.

3. Is Trump trying to scare Pence?

[Irish_Dem]

7. Maybe he sees Pence as a rival for the GOP nomination?

[rurallib]

4. He' about one dead brain cell from trying to hang Mike Pence

in public himself.

Let us hope that brain cell can stay alive for a while.

How much longer can Republicans go without breaking from this crazy man?

[Hekate]

17. How much longer? As I recall, it took a World War to rid Germany of their madman. ...

I just hope to gods that it never comes to that, because I don’t think there’s anyone who can play the role of America on our behalf.

5. The narrative will change soon to Pence "reversing my election win."

[Irish_Dem]

6. This is the Onion right?

[Ilsa]

8. Keep talking Donald. No filter.

Tell us what you really want. Let everyone hear what a depraved sociopath you really are.

[PXR-5]

9. Yet Pence keeps licking TFG's boots.

[C_U_L8R]

10. Sure. Come on in and testify under oath.

11. Tertiary syphilis is so pernicious.

[Carlitos Brigante]

12. Just remember this, next time you see Pence's translucent ass standing behind

trump, nodding like a moron with that stupid look in his face. Which I can only describe as him trying to suppress some wood........

[Nevilledog]

13. He also now says he told Nancy to beef up security.

[11 Bravo]

14. "The Unselect Committee". What fucking child.

[Caliman73]

21. That got to me too!

I am not above using choice words, but when people, especially supposed leaders, use such immature rhetoric it's like a first grader saying, "Jimmy has the cooties". Not that I had any respect for Trump in the first place, but I guess there isn't negative respect. Contempt I suppose, but the needle has already spun off on that measurement too.

15. So let me get this straight

If Dems don't like midterm-election outcomes,
we just get VP Harris to reverse the results ...?

[Hekate]

16. Keep yapping, Mango Mussolini.Keep telling your mob that the next election is in the hands of Kamala

… to decide.

[Silent3]

18. You'd think this would give Pence all the more reason to cooperate with the 1/6 committee

Not just former advisors of his, but Pence himself.

He might have complicated issues between sycophancy and ambition, but by now Pence should start being scared about what will happen to himself if Trumpistas get back into power.

19. Let me ask a simple but important question

Do they make straitjackets in Trump's size? Too much more of this shit and the men in the white jackets will be visiting Mar-a-Lago with a straitjacket, a Baker Act warrant, a fire extinguisher full of nitrous oxide and a forklift. Maybe also a big bucket of KFC and a bag of Big Macs to lure him outside with.

And speaking of security...for fuck's sake, Don, it would have taken a battalion of field artillery to stop what you caused on January 6th. I do admit that calling in a tactical CS (tear gas) fire mission on the insurrectionists MIGHT have been entertaining, but it would have stunk up the place something fierce.

20. He's revealing his insanity more and more each week._n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Will you shut up, Man.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. Maybe Mike Pence just didn't want to.

Even if Trump thought it was legal, there's no law that says he has to.
