Speaking with special counsel Jack Smith’s team earlier this year, former Vice President Mike Pence offered harrowing details about how, in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, then-President Donald Trump surrounded himself with “crank” attorneys, espoused “un-American” legal theories, and almost pushed the country toward a “constitutional crisis,” according to sources familiar with what Pence told investigators.
The sources said Pence also told investigators he’s “sure” that – in the days before Jan. 6, 2021, when a violent mob tried to stop Congress from certifying the election – he informed Trump he still hadn’t seen evidence of significant election fraud, but Trump was unmoved, continuing to claim the election was “stolen” and acting “recklessly” on that “tragic day.”
Every flavor of right-wing blowhard thinks they can ride the fascism and come out on top.
Pence is even more delusional than most since he had a large and vocal crowd of fascists hunting him down to hang him. His reaction: why alienate potential allies?
Apparently it’s more important for their team to win.
Which describes almost every politician and political party on the earth rn.
And that fucking sucks for us.
