Pence says he hasn't discussed invoking the 25th Amendment
Source: CNN
Vice President Mike Pence said in an interview airing Sunday that he has not discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
"No. Never," Pence told CBS's "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan when asked if he'd had conversations about invoking the 25th Amendment, adding, "Why would we be, Margaret?"
Pence's comments came in light of a recent New York Times op-ed written by an anonymous senior Trump administration official who claims there have been internal discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment as a mechanism to remove Trump from office.
Pence, in his rebuke of the claim, quickly pivoted to a speech former President Barack Obama delivered Friday that was seen as a pointed critique of Trump.

And don't you want the job? Don't you? Come on, you do, don't you? Just a little bit? Think of all the gay people you could oppress. Think of all the fetuses you could save. Come on, Mike, God wants you to do it. Do it for Mother. Do it for Jesus.

I myself wouldn't want that to happen - precisely because it would leave us with Pence.

Anyone else note his increased presence in the media? I think it's, unfortunately, the beginning of his ascendancy to replace 'Lump the Orange". Save us baby jesus.
