Trump attacks Pence as protesters force their way into Capitol
By Brett Samuels - 01/06/21 02:42 PM EST



President Trump on Wednesday turned on his own vice president, bashing Mike Pence for declining to illegally overturn the result of the election just as pro-Trump protesters stormed the Capitol building.

"Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" Trump tweeted.

The president's tweet came as Pence was ushered out of the Senate chamber after protesters overwhelming law enforcement outside the building and broke inside.

Pence was presiding over a joint session of Congress, where lawmakers were certifying the electors from all 50 states to affirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory. GOP lawmakers were set to object to the certification of at least three states, though the challenges would not change the result.

However, Trump and many of his supporters had been adamant that Pence possessed the power to unilaterally reject electors or even name Trump the winner. Pence made clear earlier Wednesday that was not the case.

Oh FFS..... they had barely gotten started with the process when they had to evacuate.   If Trump really said this, and if it's not just more fake news/BS.... Trump needs to STFU.... for once.
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.
