Confusion over former VP Pence comments yesterday

[bottomofthehill]

I have to admit, I have only seen clips and not the whole speech, but some people seem to think it heroic that Mike Pence is stating that he did not have the power to overturn the election. He seems to still hold to the big lie though. He does not say I can’t overturn because we lost by 7 million votes and a landslide (trumps terms) in the electoral college, he just says the constitution does not let him overturn the election.

No profile in courage is he, the double talking, no good fucktard. You lost the election, any comments on the electoral college vote count and or 1/6 have to start with “ we tried to steal an election and got caught”. Enough with the “Big Lie” bullshit. You tried to steal an election and got caught. Now in an attempt to not be prosecuted based on the investigation, you start to backpeddle.

Step up, be the man “mother” thinks you are, admit the truth and let the chips fall where they may.

My take away big take away is enough of the big lie, call it what it is, the attempted theft of an election and the attempted end of American Democracy.

1. it took him over a year just to say those words . . .

his masters at the Fed. Society gave him the green light to say so. He is not in control, but they are. He is a coward.

5. I understand where you're coming from

but Pence did side with truth and The Constitution on Jan 6th. He's still an idiot but he did know
right from wrong that day.

6. I am just having a hard time seeing any courage in his actions yesterday

From his remarks, “President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone." Says "there's nothing more unAmerican" to have "any one person ... choose the American president."


He lost by over 7 million votes. He is right in saying that one person does not have the right, but never admits the loss or the massive scope of the loss.

10. I think it took a lot of courage

to stand up in front of a lot of people who were and still are promoting The Big Lie, to tell the truth to them.
He basically told them to quit their lying without saying it.

7. Yes, he's done great wrong, but that day he served his nation

and I'm enormously grateful for that enormously important action.

And for this statement:

9. By saying overturn the election, he is admitting they lost.

He still just can’t come out and say it though He is a cowardly sycophant, not too bright. but he’s not insane like his former idol

11. He seemed clear to me. Don't think he's holding to big lie. He's still deplorable. n/t
