Former vice president Mike Pence said he would remain “proud” that he and members of Congress completed the certification of the Electoral College results, in remarks at the Reagan Library on Thursday evening.
In a wide-ranging speech, Pence urged Republicans to continue the policies of former president Donald Trump alongside more traditional conservative priorities. Pence said that “under President Trump’s leadership we were able to achieve things Republicans have been talking about since the days of Barry Goldwater.”
Pence praised Trump’s focus on border security, calling for the country to continue building a wall on the southern border, and said that the “Trump–Pence administration” was the first to see “Communist China

When you hit rock bottom, it's sort of stupid to keep trying to dig deeper!!!
Pence may be a good Christian and husband, but he is a useless swamp creature of a politician!!! Just shut up and go away!!!!

Are you equally proud of allowing the usurper to undo all the good work that Trump was able to accomplish?
Tool.

Now he can go and talk to the 49 year old woman in Bloomfield, IN who was jailed for 2 days for the misdemeanor of walking through Capitol building

He’s proud to have Joe replace Trump. Mike lost his job to a street walking hooker. High fives on that buddy. I guess cheating to win is as American as it gets now. Got to stand for the achievements made but keep quiet how they were all overturned in a mere 6 months. You’ve got payback coming your easy one way or the other old pal.

Stay proud. We don't care. You're nothing to US. Enjoy the love you're getting from the lame, insane media and other traitors like yourself; it's a fitting reward for ya. It's not gonna last long, dude. You're ruined, you tiny, vile, silly man; accepting that fact is the beginning of your recovery. Anyway, still don't care.

Pence is correct. This idea that he had some magic authority to halt the certification process is an ahistorical, unconstitutional fantasy.

'Un-American' is the last refuge of the scoundrel when he has no other arguments, logic, reasons, laws, principles, precedents or plain old courage to rely upon.

That’s why DeSantis will be our next president and Pence will not.

Pence, you were threatened with exposure of something you are ashamed of. John Eastman gave you a constitutional plan of action. You cowered like a little girl. I feel sorry for your children and grandchildren. Those of us who watched what happened know what you did, and it will never be forgotten.

So the predator Pence is proud. Pride goeth before the fall.
Lin Wood's whistle blower, who recently became more public and has worked inside the government, a credible man with a doctorate who is currently running for Senate in Maryland ("john here to help" - Twitter) revealed wretched details about Mikey. He is the opposite of who he portrayed himself to be, and it's anything but Christian like.

Congratulations, Doofus, you can be proud at home, alone and with all prospects of a political career over. How can we continue with the work of Donald Trump with a half-dead corpse and a gum-chewing middle school girl in the White House? Pence, congressional republicans and the Supreme Court all failed America due to lack of courage, honesty and morals. The election was stolen and they all knew it at the time.

Nobody was asking Pence to overturn the will of the American people as they expressed in their voting...
What people were asking was for only real votes to be counted.
There is still strong evidence that the WILL of the American people was circumvented and, if that is the case, Pence was complicit, knowingly or unknowingly.

The Un-American part is the amount of fraud that took place, and the extent that the D.C. swamp went to go along with it. There is so much evidence of fraud that was plainly evident and is still being discovered that anyone denying that fraud took place, is just lying through their teeth.

No one asked this putz to "overturn an election". Two things were asked of him:
1. Follow the Election Clause of the US Constitution and honor the request of the representatives of five separate states for 10 days to review the legality of the certification. Jan 6 is an arbitrary date set by Congress. The Constitution has one deadline for the election of a President: Jan 20 of the following year at noon.
2. By law passed by Congress the President of the Senate is required to ask if there are any objections to the electoral vote for each state. Objections in writing with the signature of one Senator and one House Representive are to go to the full Congress for debate. If the objection holds, the electoral count is returned to the state legislature for review. Pence arbitrarily stopped asking for objections when they reconvened from the "insurrection".
No one asked Pence to do anything other tjhan follow the law. and the remedy for objections: Return the electoral certification to the state's legislature for review.

It makes me very uneasy that he is being given the forum of the Reagan Library. I don't quite know what to make of it.
And, yes, to his defenders here, I do realize that he is a Republican and former VP.

Delaying certification until the accuracy of disputed results can be verified is not overturning the "results" of an election, it is assuring that the voter's will is done. The dishonesty exhibited in this headline is now typical for National Review.

Does this decision—which certainly seems to honestly reflect his conscience— cancel out his loyal service to President Trump for the prior 4 years? I think a little balance is in order here.

Pence was not asked to be the one man to overturn the election. He was simply asked to do his duty and return the matter to the states so that some of the claims of election fraud could be investigated further.
His statement is dishonest and worthy only of a mealy mouthed political weasel not the man of principle he as attempting to portray.
I missed the loyal service part. He mostly stood by quietly while Trump took on the tough issues. Why didn't I hear him protest when the democrats and media reported that Trump said Nazis and racists "were fine people". Why did I not hear "The President said there were "fine people" on both sides and your statements are dishonest".

from a poster called 'CAtfur'
I once knew a weakling named Pence
Who showed signs of some competence
But on Election Day
He faded away
And is now known as simply "Past Tense"
