9. Does Mike Pence believe his own standards on Trump and Jan. 6?

Mike Pence is full of crap. Pence is attacking TFG but at the same time Pence will support TFG if TFG is the GOP nominee. In addition Pence does not believe that TFG should be prosecuted for Jan 6 or Mar-a-Lago

We can say this with some certainty because, in a Fox News interview after his campaign kickoff in Iowa, Pence said he will “absolutely support the Republican nominee,” even if it’s Trump.

In other words, as the former vice president sees it, Trump’s actions after his 2020 defeat were so offensive and indefensible that he “should never be president again.” But Pence would vote for him to be president again anyway, because in his estimation, principles are apparently less important than party.

Last night, during a town hall event on CNN, the former vice president went a little further, adding that the Justice Department should give Trump a pass on his alleged crimes, even if federal prosecutors have evidence of Trump’s guilt. Pence argued that applying laws to former presidents might be "divisive," and there are "unique circumstances" surrounding Trump.

The comments came just hours after Pence said he would always put constitutional principles first.

Not to put too fine a point on this, but if Pence doesn’t take his own standards seriously, why should voters?


If Pence really believed his attacks on TFG, then Pence should support the prosecution of TFG and agree to not support TFG if TFG is the GOP nominee
