Mike Pence at CNN Town Hall: No Pardons For J6 Participants, Trump 'Should Never Be President Again'
Bob Hoge


Former Vice President Mick Pence took the stage at a CNN Town Hall Wednesday on his 64th birthday in front of Republican voters in Des Moines, Iowa. Oddly, the event occurred on the same day that CNN chief Chris Licht is out at the network, in no small part because he backed a Trump Town Hall that caused the snowflakes at the “most trusted name in news” to openly rebel.

Pence, the former Indiana congressman, governor, and wingman to Trump, talked about Jan. 6, why he wants to be president, abortion, Ukraine, and a variety of topics in the 90-minute talk with host Dana Bash.
January 6

He once again stated that he thought Donald Trump was wrong to think that the vice president had the power to overturn the election:

    …I felt that he was asking me to choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution. And I always will.

    I said today President Trump was wrong then, he’s wrong now.

But then he leaned in even harder and said that his former Commander in Chief should never again occupy the Oval Office.

    Anyone who puts themselves above the Constitution should never be president in the first place. And anyone who asks anyone else to put themselves over the Constitution should never be president again.

Pence said that if elected, he would not pardon any J6 participants:

    You know, on the day of January 6, I issued a tweet demanding that people leave the Capitol. And grounds.

    I said that those that failed to do that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and I continue to believe that today.

Many Republican voters probably turned off the TV right then, even if they had bothered to tune in to CNN.

The fly has more charisma than Pence.

C'mon. He never had a shot.

I have no doubt that Pence was involved or at least knew about the J6 insurrection.  I see him as being less than truthful about the entire situation.  He is part of the deep state. He is despicable!

If the J6 plotters followed the WWII French Resistance model of compartmentalization ...

Pence would have only been read in for his part - allowing Congresspersons to object to Electoral Vote Count for states - and would have been kept in the dark about the rest.

Sufficient compartmentalization of each J6 workstream or vector would allow many of the hands-on perpetrators to remain useful idiots without having knowledge of the entire scheme.

The lack of which, of course, tends to show that it wasn't a concerted conspiracy.

There may not have been one, single conspiracy,rather, there may have been a corrupt enterprise (RICO) invoved in multiple smaller, targeted conspiracies.

Go Pence....

   He agrees with his old boss on this. Though Trump had 13 days to do so, he pardoned 74 people on his last day, none J6 prisoners of the dem party.

That he's running for the democrat nomination, why else would he playing up to their base? Then again he may be just that bad at reading the republican voter.
