Yeah, but they still need to be elected and can’t piss off the trump cult. Pence is almost 65 and after his dismal showing in the primaries has probably decided to quit politics. So he has a little more leeway to speak out.
Mitch McConell is 82, can comfortably expect re-election indefinitely, faced just as much threats by the MAGAts during J6, and is still endorsing Trump.
I’m not one to say that Mike Pence is a good person, but he’s taking an unpopular step against his party on his own principles. It’s kind of “a broken clock is right twice a day,” but I will applaud a shitty person standing up to a really shitty person.
