Former Vice President Mike Pence was caught in the crosshairs after a voter blamed him for President Joe Biden being elected.
During a small rally in Sioux City, Iowa, this week, a voter confronted Pence by criticizing him for allowing the 2020 election results to move forward for a final vote before Congress.
“Do you ever second-guess yourself? That was a constitutional right that you had to send those votes back to the states… If it weren’t for your vote, we would not have Joe Biden in the White House,” the woman said.
In response, the former vice president defended his actions, claiming he did not think he had such constitutional authority.
“I say this with great affection and respect,” Pence began. “The Constitution is very clear. My job was to oversee a session of Congress where objections could be heard, and I made sure that objections would be recognized so we would hear whatever evidence or debate there was. But the Constitution says you open and count the votes. No more, no less.”
Pence continued to defend himself, saying that rejecting or returning votes to the states has never been done before or should be done in the future.
Still, he threw his former boss, Trump, under the bus again like he has several times in the past.
“No vice president in American history ever asserted the authority that you have been convinced that I had. But I want to tell you, with all due respect, what I said before, I said when I announced. President Trump was wrong about my authority that day, and he’s still wrong,” he added.
No Balls Mike
His wife keeps them in her purse.
Americans need to start holding these a-holes accountable. This is disasterous what’s happening to this country.
Yes. Trump should be able to appoint himself or anyone else of his choosing as President of the United States, now and in the future. MAGA!!
Yes! Bring back the Monarchy. Much better form of government and Trump obviously should be our first King.
