Mike Pence Is Too Scared to Mention Trump While Picking Up 'Courage' Award [View all]
Mike Pence Is Too Scared to Mention Trump While Picking Up ‘Courage’ Award
https://www.thedailybeast.com/mike-pence-is-too-scared-to-mention-trump-while-picking-up-courage-award/
Former Vice President Mike Pence decided not to mention his old boss when he went to pick up a ‘courage’ award for defying him.
Pence received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award at the JFK Library in Boston Sunday for his refusal to endorse false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump—which made him the No. 1 target for Trump’s supporters during the Jan. 6 riots.
The JFK Library Foundation lauded Pence for “putting his life and career on the line to ensure the constitutional transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6, 2021.” Despite this, Pence failed to mention Trump in his 10-minute acceptance speech.
Instead, Trump’s former deputy made references to the importance of the Constitution—hours after the president refused to say, in a jaw-dropping NBC interview, whether he himself should have to abide by it.
