How does Mike Pence have any donors? I mean literally who would give him money? He's not even trying to win. Clearly he's not you don't try to win and then do this for your biggest opponent. I mean most of them aren't trying to win. This entire Republican primary is basically just a fundraising endeavor to furnish their own private lavish lifestyles.
I mean, if it was a convicted-for-shoplifting situation, and the person had completed the sentence, that would be one thing. But this? Even seeing it from halfway across the world, what happened was shocking.
The people did decide already, when it got included in the constitution.
If the crimes didn't include insurrection I'd agree with him. It seems we've carved out a specific exemption for that.
Bro they want to murder you!
He didn't accept it last time the American people rejected him.
The fact that Pence can turn around and start sucking off of Trump again, even after Trump literally tried to have him lynched for doing his job, shows how spineless the Republicans really are
Aren’t elected officials supposed to represent the people? Why don’t they just do their jobs?
This is a level of over-the-top milquetoast fence-sitting that only Mike Pence can achieve...
The Republicans are a fucking caricature of themselves, I swear.
Pandering much?
If the people want to elect a convicted criminal, disqualifying him isnt going to solve the real problem you have
"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit."
The fear of the Cheeto Pudding among GOP contenders is almost funny. But not really.
I mean Pence decided not to leave it to the American people when Trump encouraged them to hang him. He ran away and hid.
Not related to the headline/article, I'd just like to comment on funniness the picture, from left to right: confused disbelief, dismissive disbelief, indignant disbelief. Much furrowing of brows, such concern.
Pence must have mob ops on him too. Roger stone we want to see the American mafia crumble. Quit being naive people there's more to politics... It's not just a few bad actors it's organized crime that'll do anything for power and control, while they place blame on petty criminals.
Of course he said that because if Trump is disqualified because of J6, then so would also half the GOP's varsity team from Congress. I think if all of Trump's in-government co-conspirators (just to name a few, but not an exhaustive list: Meadows, Scott, Hawley, Boebert, Gaetz, Greene, etc.) were expelled and never allowed to return to government, I'm pretty sure at least half those seats would go to middle of the road Democrats (I mean at least Boebert's seat, minimum) and the GOP would lose their razor thin margin in the Senate.
I think this is one of the many major reasons Pence keeps towing this line for Trump.
