Given that he surely knows how unpopular that opinion is amongst his base, could that be a further hint that Mike Pence is secretly a white hat?
Trump did say back when the left stole the election "sometimes it takes more courage to do the wrong thing".
Thoughts?
Agreed. And that is a matter best left to constitutional attorney's, and state, and federal judiciaries to rule on.
While we disagree on whether or not Pence had the constitutional authority to halt the counting of the electoral votes, he most certainly has a mouth, and he failed to use it to call out the clearly unethical, and arguably unconstitutional shenanigans of the senate rules committee on Jan. 6.
However one want to slice it- senate rules changes that were made on Jan. 6 were clearly done to affect the electoral counting process, and that alone qualifies as election interference.
Mike Pence did not contest that, and still does not to this day. Trump did contest the election, and still does to this day. One refused to uphold their oath of office- the other is still trying to uphold theirs.
He had no Constitutional authority to stop what was being done.
Lawyers attempted to fight Trump's legal battle for him, in a haphazard fashion. Can't tell me that DJT was less capable than GWB to get a challenge heard by SCOTUS. Either DJT is in fact 1.) a moron 2.) an enemy plant 3.) a genius or 4.) a great actor for whoever is truly behind the curtain. I still lean towards a combination of 3+4.
