Former Indiana governor and candidate for Republican nomination tells Fox News decision ‘should come as no surprise’
Mike Pence will not endorse for president Donald Trump, the man he served as vice-president for four years but whose supporters chanted for Pence to be hanged as they attacked Congress on January 6.
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” the former Indiana governor and former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination told Fox News on Friday.
Asked why, given that he previously promised to endorse the eventual nominee, Pence mentioned 6 January 2021, the day a mob attacked Congress and Trump was reported to have told aides Pence “deserved” to be hanged for refusing to block certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
This means nothing.
I wouldn’t say that.
I mean it doesn’t mean a lot.
Though it may just be the first stitch popping, with more to come.
It is noteworthy that rarely is there ever public dissent at that level of republicunt power.
That’s true! I really meant this means nothing to his fan base. I hope it leads to more people doing the same.
I think there’s a growing number of republican politicians that are realizing they are on the wrong side of history.
Anyone still clinging to trumpty dumpty will be dragged off the wall with his fall.
The only ones who are going to make it out with a career are those who disavow early.
