Former Indiana governor and candidate for Republican nomination tells Fox News decision ‘should come as no surprise’
Mike Pence will not endorse for president Donald Trump, the man he served as vice-president for four years but whose supporters chanted for Pence to be hanged as they attacked Congress on January 6.
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” the former Indiana governor and former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination told Fox News on Friday.
Asked why, given that he previously promised to endorse the eventual nominee, Pence mentioned 6 January 2021, the day a mob attacked Congress and Trump was reported to have told aides Pence “deserved” to be hanged for refusing to block certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
All true. He probably feels smug about keeping his mouth shut for this long.
I hope history remembers him for continuing to orate with a fly crawling around on his face :-)
Fyi, I didn’t mean to diminish your joke, I just had a pedant moment, apologies.
LOL 😂 Nah it was great. I’m pretty sure we’re speced for serious discussions here anyway… I just don’t know how anyone 😉
Gotta make jokes. It’s either that or cry/ be paralyzed by existential dread.
