Inhofe: "I've never seen Mike Pence as angry as he was today"

[sabra]

Source: Tulsa World

...

“I’ve known Mike Pence forever,” Inhofe said Tuesday night. “I’ve never seen Pence as angry as he was today.

“I had a long conversation with him,” said Inhofe. “He said, ‘After all the things I’ve done for (Trump).’”

Aside from Wednesday’s attempted takeover of the Capitol, the past few days have been difficult for Inhofe because he refused to go along with protesting the Electoral College results.

“We’ve had calls. We’ve had threats. … I have many very, very close friends mad at me, when all I’m doing is upholding my oath,” Inhofe said

1. The problem with Inhofe's traitorous friends

They believe running the country is a zero-sum game. I only win when you lose.

[mr_lebowski]

2. Pence would have to be unimaginably apathetic in order to NOT be PISSED AS SHIT

Not making excuses for him, but he HAS groveled at IQ45's feet for 4 years, supported and defended him at every possible turn.

He HAS to have felt emasculated as these 4 years have gone along.

I'd bet he thought the one thing he could count on was that Tangeranus would have his back when the chips were down, as he always did for shithead. Clearly he has minimal experience with sociopaths like Needy Amin.

Instead, Trump sicced his goons on the building he was in FFS, and called him coward in a tweet, and implied HE is the reason Trump is losing his job. He's literally put Pence's life in danger, and not just today either.

Anyways, he HAS to be fucking pissed.

[NanceGreggs]

4. Well said!

[CatMor]

5. He sure does ... it took him long enough.

[StClone]

21. Well when you want to run in 2024 You have to at least look the part

Even if you were a gimp for the Trump Shitshow of Treason.

26. So....... magats chanted "hang Mike pence". That's too bad. Now watch this drive.

46. Schadenfreude

Ha ha Dense Pence

[Bernardo de La Paz]

51. Woman shot breaking into Pelosi offices corridor was there to arrest her and Pence

This is what happens when you whip people into a frenzy based on a false narrative and carefully propagandized factoids.

58. Thanks. I had seen that in passing during the hectic phase and lost it. Note his pepper spray

Note his pepper spray, tactical gear, and using cellphone as a bodycam. There is probably a record of his stream on the internet somewhere.

[Grokenstein]

13. He's spent YEARS watching the leopard eat everyone's faces and laugh about it.

If he's shocked that the leopard finally ate his face, Pence is an even bigger boob than I imagined.

[Pachamama]

23. +100000

No surprise Pence

[happy feet]

41. This!

No sympathy from here---you reap what you sow - 4 years of supporting a traitorous president when it was to your advantage....not in support of upholding the constitution and the citizenry of the U.S.

[KPN]

61. Nailed it perfectly!

[Escurumbele]

35. Its not like he didn't know, or could have imagined, that trump would do something like that

Anyone who claims ignorance that this was going to happen is lying. What no one could have imagined is that there seems to have been some complicity to allow it to happen. The National Guard should have been there on the 5th, the goons should have never been allowed to take, not even one step into the Capitol, they should have been kept behind the barriers.

I am convinced there was complicity there, someone decided to do trump's dirty deed and I hope the truth comes out. It is unacceptable what happened yesterday, but it did not happen without the help of someone, and at this time I think the chief of the capitol police must be investigated, and whomever was warned four days before by Maxine Waters, and others.

Pence may be angry because the buffoon has thrown him under the bus a few times, but I don't think it is because of what happened yesterday, I believe his actions from yesterday are an attempt to redeem himself from the adoration and enabling he has been performing the past four years. Every time I saw him look at the buffoon with adoring eyes my stomach turned, he has shown a lack of dignity and principles just like many other republicans. No, I don't give him a pass.

[wiggs]

44. Pence and Melania might have had a moment of realization at some point, but they are still there nt

[JohnnyRingo]

59. ☆☆☆☆

...and embarrassed.
Sided with the school bully only to have his pants pulled down in front of the whole class.

[lagomorph777]

64. Pence and Congress need to remove Turd, simply as an act of self-preservation.

I mean physical self-preservation; forget about the optics or the politics. Trump is now a clear and present danger to them all. Mobs don't pay a lot of attention to little details like getting the names right before they shoot.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

71. "Needy Amin" -good one! thats as good as "twitler." nt

[live love laugh]

3. So Republicans are now all talking to the press after deafening silence?

Their cowardice is revolting.

[Aussie105]

9. Just looking out for themselves - again.

Thinking of their role, if any, in a Democratic Party dominated political environment after Trump.

But their silence over the last 4 years tells a different story.

[Mike Nelson]

6. I've seen Mike Pence...

... he appears to have some degree of intellect. He walks, he reads, he talks... there is no way he hasn't known what Trump was, all along. I have much less access to watching his boss, and it's been very clear.

[Escurumbele]

37. You are 100% correct

If we all knew, he knew, he just decided to look at the buffoon with adoring eyes and go along with all his crap. Pence is as guilty as the buffoon, someone with principles and dignity would have resigned and told the reasons why to the country.

They all deserve to be behind bars...SOBs all of them.

[Make7]

8. Pence must have thought there was no room under the bus...

... after seeing Trump throw so many people under there.

[GoneOffShore]

10. Now that he's 'stood up' to pmurT, will he finally take the next step and stand up to Mother?

And move in with Lindsey Graham?

[Traildogbob]

11. Maybe

Pence will take trumps offer to step down and get pardoned. Then Pence says “Fuck You” and let’s him be drug out after resignation. Mother shouts ‘Hell Fucking Yes Mike”, as Trump is handcuffed and drug by the rat on his head to GITMO for treason.

[GoneOffShore]

12. And then he moves in with Lindsey.

And starts prancing around the place in a tennis dress.

[yankeepants]

14. You owe me a keyboard!!! Bwaaahaa!

[GoneOffShore]

18. Which kind would you like?

Can only get AZERTY keyboards here.

[Escurumbele]

39. I have thought about that, what a great scenario that would be

To allow the buffoon to think he will get pardoned and then don't do it, let him be indicted for civil and federal crimes. Pence does that and I will forgive him for all the crap he helped do, well not all, that is going to far.

[AngryOldDem]

15. "After all the things I've done for him."

Good Christ. THIS is why he’s angry?

Add one more sucker to the pile of people totally conned by Don. But if Pence is making what happened all about him and his hurt feels...

[chia]

24. +1000

Never mind about the millions of people affected (and infected) by Trump's malice and negligence. It took Trump's words and actions affecting him personally. Now he knows what millions already know, so now he's angry. Supreme self-interest moved him, but noting else did? I'm so not surprised.

[lapfog_1]

17. scorpion and frog

Pence... you ain't the scorpion

[Dave Starsky]

19. He could easily have been killed today. They all could.

I saw the video from the House chamber, and it was fucking terrifying. Mike Pence escaped with his life.

I still can't believe that ANY of those GOP legislators could still support that infernal orange shitsmear after that. He sat back and watched on TV as they fled for their very lives, and there was no way that raving band of maniacs attacking them had the time or inclination to care who they were.

This is what Donald Trump has been all along, Mike. He is the literal God damned Antichrist. I am sorry that it took this long for you to have to start pondering this.

[quakerboy]

20. Some house members are flat out deranged

And Hawley is taking a shot at the gold ring and hoping that he can hoover up the trump vote in 4 years.

[bucolic_frolic]

32. There was a photo of one of the invaders carrying a handful of heavy duty zip ties

Leads one to wonder if they were planning a Gretchen Whitmer type hostage operation.

Pence has the backbone of grape jelly.

[Escurumbele]

40. I read that someone said that there is no way that without an insider the mob would have found

one of the rooms, that it is very difficult to get to it, so someone had helped the goons move inside the capitol.

I am convinced this was not spontaneous and that someone allowed it to happen. The treason of these criminals has no bounds.

[intrepidity]

22. Aw poor baby

too bad there's nothing he could do, like 25th, or anything.

Suck it up buttercup!

[Bengus81]

25. Aw shucks Mike....my heart bleeds for you!!

Go FUCK yourself. You've been the right hand man to the Fuehrer for FOUR YEARS.

[BeyondGeography]

27. Biggest and most pathetic dupe ever

[hatrack]

28. So what?

Fucking DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

[sinkingfeeling]

29. Ye reap what ye sow. The GOP welcomed all those angry

extreme right wingers into their party and then lost control over them. Example is Qanon members if Congress.

[democrank]

30. Boo Hoo, Pence

[Askov_Finlyson]

31. Inhofe and Pence

"You lay down with pigs, you get dirty."

[EnterwebsJohn]

33. Butt kissers usually do get mad when they finally find out that

the kissee doesn't even care about the kisser.

Weird that a carreer politician doesn't know this.

[apnu]

36. I witnessed his cold anger when the Senate resumed.

It is remarkable that he resumed his duty with any grace. His politics are disgraceful, hurtful, and callously punitive to those he doesn't like, but he did his job as President of the Senate yesterday.

[Kaleva]

45. Yes he did.

[FakeNoose]

57. Pence has spent his last 4 years enabling Chump

During any time in the last 4 years did he ever consider that Chump has no business being president? Or that Chump needs to be removed from office for the good of the country? Or that it was up to him (Pence) and only him to see that our country and our government needs to be rescued from this madman?

Pence is a coward of the worst sort, he's a complicit coward. So what if he's finally had enough - I don't care. The rest of us finally had "enough" long ago. He gets no admiration from me. None of those Repukes matter now, because none of them (except Mitt Romney) did anything when it really would have mattered.

[apnu]

63. I can't speak to the man's mind.

It clearly a loathsome and vile place. This is they same guy who thinks he "can pray the gay away."

That he is complicit in all of Trumps evils and sins is not in doubt.

But last night he grimly did his job to ensure the transfer of power. He deserves a modicum of respect for doing that in that moment.

Everything else is fair game, he is a part of this criminal enterprise, but he also did he job to let the people throw his ass out.

This courage of his, this act last night can't even fill a thimble, but its more courage and integrity than Trump has in his whole body.

I wonder, some times, what regrets Pence, Lord of the Flies, has right now.

[lonely bird]

38. After all Pence has done for Trump?

What did Pence think was going on with Trump? How stupid is he? He had his chance, multiple chances in fact, to do the right thing for 4 years and he did nothing. Finding a spine at the last minute is all well and good but let us not pretend that Pence does not have his hands dirty.

[IronLionZion]

42. If the GOP won't expell members who incite violence and terrorism,

it's time to disband the Republican party.

[Hotler]

43. A true Chtistian would not have been part of it. nt

[Paladin]

47. For once, I'd like to believe something Inhofe is saying.

Still can't do it. He's a lying-ass old Republican, first, last, and always.

Fuck Mike Pence. Let him rot in the bed he made for himself.

[denvine]

48. I have not one iota of sympathy for these enablers!

They have nurtured and protected this monster and now they have the audacity to act surprised at his monstrous behavior? They should forever be tied to their actions of the last 4 yrs!

[SamKnause]

49. Fuck Inhofe.

Fuck Pence.

They are EVIL.

They are unpatriotic.

They are cult members.

Many are members of 2 cults.

They are my enemies.

They are enemies of my country.

[jayfish]

50. "After all the things I've done for (Trump)."

...said anyone who's ever dealt with Trump. Duhhh...

[kskiska]

53. Talk to Mike Cohen about that.

[yaesu]

52. I bet he had mamma hold him all night. nt

[IsItJustMe]

54. Hey stupid. Didn't your mama ever teach you that if you lay with the dogs, you get flees.

This is as obvious as the nose on your face. Yet, these people act clueless.

[eppur_se_muova]

55. He was angered by 45's *PERSONAL* disloyalty, not his acts of treason.

No points for that. Gov't of laws, not men. Uglicans don't get that.

[NCjack]

60. Pence almost did the right thing as the Trump "p*ssy grabbing tape"

surfaced. He almost backed out of being #2 on the ticket with Trump. But, he sold himself to Trump, who is a vicious slave master. Don't feel sorry for Pence -- he put himself in his present position.

[Javaman]

68. As a former Hoosier who lived under a Pence Governorship

I have absolutely no empathy to give. Along with any Fucks.

May he begin to reap all that has been sown in the past ten years!

[Yeehah]

69. Ahhhh...poor Mikey. Give Mommy's boy a glass of milk and send him to bed!

With the waterproof mattress cover.

[Hassler]

70. Dense can do something about it by rounding up the votes

To 25th Amendment the Chump.
