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.
We used to pick the VP from the opposing party. I’d like to see that again.
That’s not totally true. It’s just that 2nd place would become vice president.
And Thomas Jefferson was like “nah fuck that I don’t like Aaron Burr, I rape my slaves and even I think he’s shady as hell”
The federal government was designed to not work from day one, but they still changed that because it caused it to not work too well.
When the president controls the executive branch and his opponent controls the legislative branch, not even the important stuff gets done.
