Well that’s a new one.
I bet it’ll be part of the freakouts of the Right before long. Despite being wholly a typo, not a fact.
By god, they’re inventing new ways to be wrong illegal humans! We must freak out and donate heavily to grifters!
It’s our sacred duty as 'Merkin Reactionay Wacko idjits!!!11!1!!1!!
Sadly, he would try to tell them God can “heal” them, as if their existence is a sin.
I DO know that his wife published a children’s book about their pet rabbit, and John Oliver published a parody where the rabbit was gay.
Both books were pretty decent best-sellers, too.
If he did tweet this about that “one woman rally” story I will give him the smallest of credit for some sense of humor.
Give the devil his due.
That sounds The Producers…esque. Guy runs a super shitty campaign, and then unexpectantly wins. Wouldn’t necessarily be a comedy.
I saw that show!
November of 2016.
“So he riled up the mob, which then stormed the Capitol, called for my death, erected a gallows and drove me and my Secret Service bodyguards temporarily into hiding. And he did nothing for hours to stop them, and then praised them as “great people.” OK, granted. But y’know… these things happen.”
I might be crazy, but I bet there are better ways to project an image of strength than to be afraid to speak out against a man who tried to have you killed.
Is Pence related to the Loopners?
“History will hold him accountable… but I sure as heck won’t!”
I’m not sure if he was born without a spine, or if having it surgically removed was a prerequisite to being named as Trump’s VP candidate.
History will in some countries — not sure about the U.S. (Although to be serious about this, historians will disagree unless we are in a real fascist regime.)
Pence’s team obviously has no viable strategy except to wait for some unlikely event where Trump drops out. And if that happens, there will be no viable lane to the left of where Trump was.
Best guess is that the GOP won’t be nominating any career politicians like Pence for a while. Vivek Ramaswamy and Candace Owens are more popular among the GOP grass roots then anyone with more than four years of officeholding. The Bulwark has had some good focus-group informed articles on this. But it’s not Pence’s own money, so why not try? And if you going to try, running against Trump’s legacy is among the most hopeless of the available bad ideas.
Hey, Trump is still alive and he’s still sort of pissed at Pence, so he’s just being pragmatic.
Or a chicken shit coward. One of those.
Here is an amusing update.
He’s selling t-shirts that quote Trump’s gripe (as documented in the DC election interference indictment) that Pence was “too honest” after Trump asked Pence to commit fraud to help him overturn the election, and Pence refused to have any part of that.
Pence and other candidates have gotten a donor bump when they criticize Trump. It doesn’t help their polling numbers, though. And yes, Pence has new merch, so he’s got that going for him, which is nice.
For all the good it’ll do him.
Then again:
You’ll all be happy to know that ol’ Mikey Pence doesn’t think the Georgia election was stolen either. ]His policy for the USA is pretty scary though. For example, he wants to get rid of the Department of Education, and “ return millions of acres of federal land back to states.”
I’m just waiting for a Trump to call him a Rigger-lover.
The “returning federal land back to the states” is a big issue for the anti-federal government Republicans, the Bundy crowd.
But the real problem with that position is the reason the land is federally owned in the first place is that the states couldn’t afford to manage and maintain it.
