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.
Endorse Biden you coward. His opponent’s supporters wanted to hang you.
If he did I think he would get legit death threats, there would be a nonzero chance that his constituents would lynch him.
They already tried to lynch him
Ah yes, but what about second lynching?

All the more reason to endorse a dude who isn’t leading insurrectionist terrorists.
I don’t think its biologically possible for a republicunt to endorse anyone outside the party, even in this insane political climate.
He did the ultimate limit of what they are willing to do, and I am hoping it is a wake up call to those with ears to hear.
