Trump claims he never asked Pence to overturn the election on Truth Social after dramatic J6 hearing

[867-5309.]

Source: The Independent

Former president Donald Trump denied that he tried to force vice president Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election results on January 6 last year.

Mr Trump’s words come a day after the House select committee investigating the riot at the US Capitol held its third public hearing, where Mr Pence’s former White House Counsel Greg Jacob testified about the pressure campaign the former vice president sustained at the hands of the president and his legal team...

“Such LIES & MISREPRESENTATION by the Unselects, and absolutely nobody allowed to challenge what is being said”, Mr Trump posted. “As an example, I never asked V.P. Pence to ‘overturn’ the election (although Thomas Jefferson ‘took’ the Georgia votes), but that he send the votes back to the Legislatures so that they could determine if the irregularities and Fraud were as widespread and signficant as they seemed.”...

1. it's all just he said vs he said unless there's recordings nt

[VMA131Marine]

2. Is it really though?

Trump is a know habitual liar and more than one person can corroborate what he said to Pence.

[ZonkerHarris]

4. You mean all of trump's public statements to Pence for a month a half before J6

yeah there's a lot of video

[TwilightZone]

12. Trump provided the proof.

The tweets about Pence not doing what Trump wanted were pretty clearly in reference to overturning the election, particularly the one he sent in the middle of the insurrection on the 6th.

3. Trump, 'You Can Be a Patriot or You Can Be a pussy'

In an interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl, former President Donald Trump said he “would not dispute” reports that he told then-Vice President Mike Pence on the morning of Jan. 6 before his supporters launched a deadly storming of the Capitol, “You can be a patriot or you can be a pussy.”

Just a week after the insurrection, The New York Times reported a phone call between Trump and Pence that took place just before the vice president departed for the Capitol to preside over the electoral vote count.

“You can either go down in history as a patriot,” Trump told Pence according to The Times, “or you can go down in history as a pussy.”

10. So in the end, Pence chose Patriot. And the other choice would have been better described as patsy.

[Kid Berwyn]

27. A patsy is one framed to take blame for a crime.

5. Dear Donald, There was no voting fraud widespread or otherwise but you nonetheless spread the lie

that there was all in an effort to not appear to be a loser you fucking dong.
Sincerely,
A voter that wishes you would do the world a favor and stop sucking in anymore oxygen.

6. Are you high, Bloated Tick?

Have you fallen off your meds?

Do you have a ringing in your ears, you motherfucker?

Good.

Die.

Soon.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. Lying sack of shit

That is all.

[Stuart G]

13. While I agree with your ideas , the "Sack of Shit Company" that I am associated with, begs

to differ. We at "Sack Of Shit" do not lie...We are proud of the company, and work to keep the bags strong.
..While we are proud of "S**T we want you to know that the bags are strong and do .."NOT LIE AROUND AND
DO NOTHING"....

....While we think we have seen it all, our company does NOT in any way shape or form want to be connected to or
with Donald Trump....Who is a total "Idiot and Liar".....

....While Trump is a Liar and Crook, we want you to know that we are not associated in any way shape or form, with
........That Lying ...."Sack of Bowels or Manure"...as you can call it. .........and.........

.................IF YOU GOT THIS FAR, THANK YOU FOR READING THIS....

..........................Well, I tried to be funny...I tried...Oh well,.......Back to hiding......

[niyad]

21. Snort!!

[3auld6phart]

32. I like your explanation

[llashram]

34. bowel defecation ejection?

defecation for sure in my book

[trusty elf]

24. ...

[unblock]

8. Semantics.

Yeah, he didn't ask pence to simply say "Donnie won".

Instead, he asked pence to defy the law and clear will of the people and play a part in a contrived process to allow various people in various positions of power to abuse legal powers for the sole purpose of replacing the actual result of the election with the result donnie preferred, using the completely fabricated excuse of election fraud as cover.

[viva la]

9. His drooling idiots reading this are now FURIOUS with that Thomas Jefferson guy--

Who stole Trump's Georgia votes!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Lol

[JohnSJ]

11. How many times have we seen video of him not to certify the election? Quite a few

[moose65]

14. Didn't he just confess??

Asking Pence to send the votes back to the States is an admission that he wanted Pence to meddle with the votes.

[speak easy]

19. Why yes, yes he did just that.

There is first hand testimony that Trump was advised by Eastman himself that the scheme was unconstitutional and illegal.

[Bengus81]

28. You could only send them back IF you stopped the Electorial process

Which is a attempted take over of the Government by Trump. He wouldn't be saying this patently ridiculous BS except he knows his ass is grass.

[MyOwnPeace]

35. I know it's 'just an expression' ('his ass is grass')..........

but trust me, there's no prairie in the 'heartlands' anywhere near THAT big - and they are NEVER THAT color - (that which the 'Depends' can't contain......).

And those gathered around "his ass" - they are NOT cattle grazing - they are sick little dwarfs that cannot exist in a true and fair democracy - and they want "Dear Leader" to help lead them to more power, corruption, and, of course, to 'Own the Libs!'

[Raven]

15. I seem to recall that Trump, on the morning of January 6th, in front of a cheering crowd on

the Ellipse, said that if Pence did what he wanted him to do, "we win." Did I just imagine that?

[mopinko]

40. this.

[LogicFirst]

16. Pathological liar:

“Some of the symptoms of a pathological liar are: they lie to gain something, they exaggerate things, they keep on changing their stories, and they live in a false sense of 'reality. ' If confronted, they act defensive and never admit that they are liars. Lastly, they hold no value for truth.”

[SharonClark]

17. Liar. The Jan 6 Committee has the tapes.

[Aussie105]

18. Everybody is trying to get some distance

between themselves and what happened.

Even Trump is trying to get distance from what he said and did.

Not going to work.

[maxsolomon]

20. As expected, he's falling back on his IMPLICIT direction rather than EXPLICIT direction.

It's narrowly true, he never said "overturn the election".

He said, paraphrasing, "you don't have the courage to do what's right". It's IMPLICIT direction.

It's why he always speaks like a Mob Boss. He is the worst person in America.

[mwb970]

23. I hate trump more than I have ever hated another person in my entire life.

[Bengus81]

29. I want that POS to stroke out or drop dead more than I ever wanted Limbaugh gone........

And that's saying alot

[mwb970]

22. What a damn liar.

[Marthe48]

25. Maybe it was donald's evil twin

donald.

Jan. 6 Panel Details Trump's Pressure Campaign Against Pence

BY BRIAN BENNETT
TIME, JUNE 16, 2022

On the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, Mike Pence was praying with his staff inside the Vice Presidential residence at the Naval Observatory compound in Washington. They knew it was going to be a difficult day, so they asked for wisdom and guidance. That’s when President Trump called.

Trump was berating Pence for continuing to maintain that the Vice President had no legal power to reject the Electoral College votes in Congress later that day, a move that would have handed Trump the election. White House staff and family members around Trump in the Oval Office during his call with Pence described to the Jan. 6 committee how Trump’s tone got “heated.” Trump called Pence a “wimp” and “the P-word,” witnesses said, and told Pence he had made the wrong decision picking Pence for Vice Presiden

[Bengus81]

30. LOL...wonder how USED those Trump saps that committed TREASON feel about now?

What?? Our Fuhrer just said he DIDN'T want Pence to overthrow the election??

[twodogsbarking]

31. He was caught in thousands of lies while President.

So anyone believe him now?

[BlueIdaho]

33. His lies are becoming more transparent and preposterous.

This may help him hold his “base” but the vast majority of Americans see right through him. This only makes us hate him more and trust him less.

If he keeps talking, we’ll keep winning.

[leftyladyfrommo]

37. Wow! He has really polished his spiel. nt

[Marcuse]

38. I told Pence to obstruct - not overturn. Bigly difference.

[zanana1]

39. Trump? Lie? That's just preposterous!

[sarcasmo]

41. After Tuesday's hearing Trump will say, the Georgia recording is a fake.

[BootinUp]

42. This is very reminiscent of Nixon or

pretty much every rightly convicted felon.
