What will Donald award Mike Pence?
WASHINGTON Before leaving office, President Barack Obama awarded the nations highest civilian honor the Presidential Medal of Freedom to his vice president.
In President Donald Trumps final days, he has presented similar honors to California Rep. Devin Nunes, one of his most vocal supporters during impeachment, and to three professional golfers.
To his vice president, Trump bestowed the label of coward.
The staunchly loyal Mike Pence was excoriated by Trump on Wednesday for his refusal to illegally intervene to prevent Congress from certifying the results for the presidential election that Trump lost.
Mike Pence didnt have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, Trump tweeted in a post that Twitter removed Wednesday evening.
Trump has also barred Pences chief of staff, Marc Short, from the White House.
Hes blaming me for advice to VP, Short told RealClearPolitics.
Pence has not spoken publicly about the rift.
But Sen. Jim Inhofe told the Tulsa World on Wednesday that hes never seen Pence as angry as he was today.
The Oklahoma Republican told USA TODAY he talked to Pence about Trump's rebuke. Pence, he said, was very upset with Trump.
