In an interview with Fox Business, Pence answered a question that amazes us all! He was asked if he had ever seen a president lie so much like Biden? Weil, not in his lifetime answered the Trump shamed VP!
I know Pence is trying to get support for his run for the 2024 election, but take the cake and the pie too, is just a little bit of a big lie! Bidens record shows nothing but the truth and Pences attempt to shame Biden is going down in flame! Especially when for 4 years, Pence covered for the biggest liar in Trump who set a record over and over for lying as president!
Story from the Rolling Stone.

All that toadying is just pathetic. Mother should take him aside and gently explain to him that it's time to go home to Indiana and open a gun shop or start a nice Christian podcast, because his political career is well and truly over.

(5,204 posts)He didn't go through with the coup because he couldn't there were to many real patriots defending the Capital, and he wouldn't be the fall guy for trump if it failed, as it did.
The man is a grifter, liar, and a failure. If he had opened his mouth instead of being a YES MAN...we would not have had an insurrection with death and destruction. He deserves some blame too.

(115,947 posts)and he must have known that it almost certainly would have failed, disastrously - probably motivated him a lot more than respect for the Constitution. He'd been around TFG long enough to understand that TFG would find a scapegoat, as he always does. So after getting advice from lawyers, a respected retired judge, and even Dan Quayle, Pence finally decided he'd be better off doing what he was supposed to do than run the risk of criminal prosecution if he'd stood in front of Congress and announced that he wasn't going to honor the electoral votes of seven states.

he was seeking advice from were telling him he was going to be the "fall guy"

.... Never in my lifetime, Pence replied. I said today that there has never been a time in my life when a president was more disconnected from the American people. .

Larry Kudlow asks Mike Pence if he's ever seen a president say as many falsehoods as Biden. Pence says "never in my lifetime." Not a single shred of self-awareness between these two guys.
The exchange is astonishing given everything the Jan. 6 committee has revealed over the course of its first three public hearings, the last of which focused on Trumps pressured campaign to convince Pence to illegally block the certification of the election results. Trump allegedly called Pence a pussy as he refused to do so on the morning of the riot.
Pences refusal to acknowledge that he did the bidding of the most pathological liar anyone could have ever imagined would occupy the Oval Office may be astonishing, but it isnt really that surprising, considering he clearly has designs on a future in Republican politics. If hes going to win over the GOP before then not to mention the Trump supporters who literally want to kill him hes going to have to paint Biden as the devil incarnate at every turn. If that means going easy on the man who said he deserved to be executed, so be it. Its a small price to pay for having absolutely no chance at winning two years from now.

How does one function with so much cognitive dissonance?

(5,446 posts)If he was going to criticize Biden it should have been over policy disagreements, not slandering Biden as a "liar", a term that wholeheartedly characterizes Pence's ex-boss. Pence could have tried to portray himself as an adult in the GOP, not that they want that anyways. but instead he took the low road.

(81,565 posts)After all, he spent five years+ in close-up schooling from a Grand Master of Mendacity.
He may just be trying out his own version of it - you know, for the next campaign. Time to take off the training wheels.
Just earning his new name: Pinocchio Pence. Surprised that his nose hasnt already started lengthening.

Ah.. to be a fly on the wall. Leave the Cap and maybe get "disappeared" ? or stay and maybe
get hung? But stay and maybe get branded a hero for Democracy? Yup, that's the ticket.
