Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence ended his cash-strapped presidential campaign on Saturday, after struggling for months to convince Republican voters he was the best alternative to the man he once served with unswerving loyalty, Donald Trump.

    Yes, the only reason he followed the absolute bare minimum he was legally expected to is fear. Fear that he would fail and become the front man for literally treason.

      I agree totally. The guy happily followed, defended, and aided Trump in doing insane, evil shit. The only difference on January 6th is that Pence would have had to act alone instead of following someone, and he didn’t want to take on that risk. But I am sure he would have done it in a heartbeat if he felt sure it would benefit him.

      You can tell this is the case because in the aftermath he had every opportunity to continue to stand up for democracy and he didn’t do shit.
