Mike Pence: American hero?

[Bugsy McGurk]

It’s hard to wrap our heads around that concept, right? He spent four years enabling all of Trump’s insanity.

But, when it came down to crunch time, when it was critically important, Pence finally said “no” to Trump. Having lost all the frivolous “voter fraud” cases, Trump had one way left to overturn the actual election result and pull off his coup - he needed Pence to reject the electoral votes and declare Trump the winner. Pence refused. And let’s face it - Pence saved our democracy, putting himself in considerable personal and political peril in the process.

There’s one way Pence could bolster his case for being an American hero - he can march in and provide the January 6 Committee with his testimony…

The Jan. 6 hearings’ missing man: Mike Pence — POLITICO

Donald Trump's vice president, the target of his election-subversion campaign, hasn't gotten a formal invitation to testify. But the select committee isn't ruling it out.

Seems to me he sat on the fence on January 6, waiting to see if the coup attempt would succeed … when it was clear it would not, he cast his lot with the constitutionalist side.

Not really. Whether it succeeded was in his hands - he refused to leave the Capitol building despite being urged to do so. If he wasn’t there to certify the electoral votes, they could not be certified.

Agree, the ultimate success would be in his hands but Pence should've spoken up publicly before J6 though, he's utterly stupid to think $hit wasn't going to go down on J6.

Makes no sense to wait ...

No argument there. He shouldn’t have enabled any of Trump’s madness, but he did. He probably thought Trump wouldn’t go so far as to send thousands of terrorists to seize the Capitol building. He was obviously wrong about that.
