Mike Pence trashes Trump as ‘wrong then and wrong now’ on alleged attempts to overthrow 2020 election

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday trashed his former boss Donald Trump for allegedly attempting to overthrow the 2020 election — and defended his actions in blocking the ex-president from doing so.
“What I want the American people to know is that President Trump was wrong then and wrong now. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said on CNN’s “State of the Union” while stumping in New Hampshire.
“By God’s grace, I did my duty under the constitution of the United States and I always will.”
Pence, along with Congress, certified the election of President Biden as the winner of the 2020 election — over Trump’s objections.
The former VP’s criticism of Trump Sunday parrots statements he made last week after Trump, 77, was indicted on four counts over his alleged efforts to cling to power and overturn the 2020 presidential race.
Prosecutors allege Trump unlawfully supported a scheme to put forward fraudulent electors and pressured Pence and various state officials to reject Biden’s victory. The ex-president said Pence was “too honest,” according to the indictment.
“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States,” Pence tweeted Tuesday.

With almost no support whatsoever? WADR, I find that hard to believe.

The GOPe will back him. Who else do they have that's a RINO? Trump is doing the leftists a favor by going after DeSantis.

So far they haven't. And unless they're going to manufacture a vote-stealing operation that would dwarf whatever the democrats did in 2020, he's never going to get the nomination, let alone the general election.
