Twitter gave Fox News a huge gift by banning Trump, now they have a talking point that can appease their base yet not actively foment decision.
They’ve been talking about little else except free speech and censorship today. The insurrection is yesterday’s news.
And apparently the RNC met yesterday, re-elected Ronna McDaniel (Trump made her stop using her middle name Romney) and reconfirmed their commitment to Donald Trump, who is being persecuted by the radical left socialist mob who insist on blaming him completely without evidence for his attempt to overthrow the government.
Turns out that pence did not speak with trump yesterday. He personally has not spoken to trump after the phone call on weds. telling trump he could not overturn the vote.
Pence’s people have been in touch with trump’s people and pence’s aids have monitored the discussion on invoking the 25th.
There is video of the crowd at the Capitol chanting “hang Mike Pence”. Certainly his Secret Service detail has been made aware of that and I hope they have shown him that video so he understands. That crowd was at Pence’s location looking for him so they could murder him, publicly in front of a crowd of bloodthirsty onlookers who would have cheered as it happened. I know Pence is a bootlicking toady but actual danger to his person ought to be a powerful motivator, especially since Trump was responsible for sending that crowd over.
Aye; and that’s what’s been making me really sick to my stomach is that these folks actually did come within seconds and millimeters of doing just that.
Imagine if there were now hundreds of cel phone videos of Mike Pence being hanged outside the Capitol by that mob. Now put Pelosi and Schumer up there as well.
And Trump would have just said “this is awful; it sure is lucky for you all that I’m here to stay in charge!”
I understand he’s very annoyed with Trump. Might even be disappointed. Still can’t bring himself to actually criticize Trump. That might be over-reacting.
The more I find out about the insurrection the more craven Pence seems.
Pence was so intent on ignoring the signals that he had bought his wife and daughter with him to the Senate session.
As he cowered in his hiding place with his family, the crowds were chanting “Where’s Mike Pence” and “Hang Mike Pence” (which was a hashtag trending on Twitter, BTW.)
At 2:24 PM, at around the time the Senate Chamber was being breached, Trump tweeted about Pence’s lack of courage.
Maybe he was right, because, after all that, Pence is still too scared or smitten or both (Stockholm Syndrome) to admit that Trump is dangerous and unfit for office. He needs to think about what would’ve happened if he hadn’t been so lucky. He needs to gird his mind and think about how close his family came to being tortured murdered and raped.
Imagine a gang of people are trying to get at you and your family to kill you. Luckily the cops stop them before they can. When the police ask: “Would you like to press charges?”. And then your spouse says: “Nah, we good”. WTF are you thinking about your spouse right now?
There is a video of them opening a barricade and waving them thru.
Why did they do this? is the question.
Can you explain?
I dont think there was any great conspiracy, but yes, a few Capitol Police seemed to be sympathetic to the rioters. Maybe they thought they would just demonstrate?
