Mike Pence Torches Trump And 'His Gaggle Of Crackpot Lawyers'

Pence said it was “completely false” that Trump only asked him to “pause the vote counting,” as Trump’s attorney claimed Tuesday evening. Pence said it was perfectly clear what Trump wanted him to do.

“Let’s let’s be clear on this point: It wasn’t just to ask for a pause,” Pence said on Fox News. “The president specifically asked me ― and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me ― to literally reject votes, which would have resulted in the issue being turned over to the House of Representatives and literally chaos would have ensued.”

As vice president, Pence presided over the U.S. Senate on Jan. 6 as Congress worked through objections to certify the election. Per the indictment, “the Defendant and co-conspirators attempted to enlist the Vice President to use his ceremonial role at the January 6 certification proceeding to fraudulently alter the election results.”

When Pence told Trump he wouldn’t go along with his scheme, according to the indictment, Trump complained that his vice president was “too honest.”
