President Donald Trump and top White House officials did little to check in on Vice President Mike Pence while he and members of his family were inside the US Capitol when Trump-backed rioters stormed the halls of Congress on Wednesday, a source close to the vice president tells CNN.

Pence was joined by his wife Karen Pence, daughter Charlotte and brother, Rep. Greg Pence, R-Indiana, for the ceremonial counting of the electoral votes in Congress Wednesday. Several of the violent Trump supporters who were rampaging the US Capitol were heard screaming "where's Mike Pence," the source said, frightening the vice president and his family.

Yet, the President and his top aides barely lifted a finger to check in on Pence to make sure he and his family were unharmed, the source added.

3. And that fucking coward Pence still won't do anything to get rid of Trump.

He is totally worthless.

5. On the bright side, Trump ain't getting a pardon from Pence, for certain

So he'd have to try and pardon himself.

7. Loyalty is a one-way street to Dump.

Anyone who hasn’t realized by now that is pretty stupid.

8. He fired Espy Nov 9, had loyalist Chief Capitol Police Sund, did NOT call out DC NG (Pence did)

It looks more and more like a plan, when you add how they fortified the White House fence.

It even seems a bit like he wanted start a race war by holding a rally to lure antifa and "BLM" into massive brawls with trumpanzees, declare the Insurrection Act, suspend Congress for "10 day" and take total control or maybe bizarrely force a six-state "revote".

14. So, he essentially ordered a "hit" and sent some goons to execute it

What is Pence still praying about? Trump pushed an armed attack on the government AND the VP & family. No coincidence the mob arrived with both houses of Congress and the VP present, one fell swoop there had they succeeded.

Anybody have the ability to project a holographic flaming ten-foot tall Jesus into the VP residence with a holographic stone tablet with "25th NOW" inscribed upon it?
