I know a lot of people saying he is a traitor, and I can understand that, but maybe he had a larger intent.
If Pence rejected the electors, we’d get Trump as a president, but we would be left with the same traitors in congress. The bullshit spin would continue, and ultimately the country would be even more divided.
But Trump and Team knows that bigger action is required. Pence explicitly said that he left it up to the electors. He had to let the actual traitors commit the crime.
Did Pence actually take one for the team? Did Pence trick Pelosi in thinking he was on her side?
I’m thinking out loud. I think the movie is just starting. Stay safe everyone.
I think Pence just didn't want to be the decider. It's hard to imagine that he's the VP and doesn't know that Trump is plotting something. The Pence rejecting the electoral votes thing didn't arise until recently. Pence probably felt a huge burden was thrown at him last minute and said "nope" and passed it back to Trump. I think Pence knows how this will end, but he wants nothing to do with it.
