    1. Everything about him is ridiculous. But that, faux gravitas, describes his demeanor perfectly. The holier than thou, sanctimonious crap that he eschews is repugnant. Search….John Oliver Mike Pence. An absolutely fantastic piece on who Pence really is. And Oliver does say something nice about him at the end of it.👍👍

    2. Oh so well put! 100% 100 times over. He’s a worse actor than Lee Majors. Tries to put on that six million dollar man act but looks like an idiot.

  1. Does Pence think defending Trump will help him become president or VP? It makes him look spineless and weak. He has no support from most people.

  2. Hard to know what Pence’s game is. He came close to a lynching but he still doesn’t see how dangerous Trump and his anti-facts attitude is to the nation

    1. If you look at the way Dominionists think, it’s more likely that he was counting on Trump to be dangerous to democracy.

    2. Oh he knows how dangerous Trump is. Pence is just clinging on to a neutral stance hoping against hope the base will vote for him over Trump in 2024

    1. HE PROBABLY PRAISED HIS god👑 king TRUMP FOR CALLING OFF THE MOB OF DEPLORABLES FROM HANGING HIM😂😅🤣

    2. @Joyce Ben The mob was chanting to hang him, so that qualifies for protection. He was needed to certify Biden’s win, if only ceremoniously.

  3. He did his job, nobody owes him anything. It’s crazy to give a person credit for doing his job. The only time he actually did his job. The MAGA/TrumPut Republican Party doesn’t want him as President, if they wanted him, they would’ve applied the 25th Amendment.

    1. Calling him “hero” is a far stretch. He went fishing for somebody – anybody to validate him NOT certifying the election. He did what he was supposed to do.

      Him not certifying would not have changed the outcome- it was ceremonial.

    2. @Marie Stinson That’s the rub to me. He tried to find a way to do Trump’s bidding. If he had seen a sliver of a possibility he would have sold.the country down the orange drain. He’s demonstrated that he is in no way a leader. He’s simply a weak sniveling opportunist.

    3. He did his job begrudgingly. He had to speak to a law expert to be told his duties. Otherwise he would have done what Trump wanted.

    4. Actually Pence called Dan Quale to see if he could get out of doing his Constitutional duty. He got a resounding NO

  4. Cheney and Pence are NOT on the same level. He is disingenuous , Cheney is genuine. Pence is just another self serving slime ball, Cheney at least has character and integrity.

    1. that’s for sure, Pence is a whimp slime ball, he has no balls whatsoever and he may as well say goodbye to any Political career because he is lukewarm at best.

      Why is he a hero because he did his job on Jan 6th? I don’t understand how he is a hero, isn’t that part of his job description?

    2. @Guess But she was actually voting her conscience, which shows integrity… even if her values and ideology are unenlightened and misguided to many of us…

    3. @Shane Alan Chenney is a decent human being who has a conscience and can distinguish right from wrong.
      She’s not desperately grabbing on to power and a lot of decent people can see that.

  5. very time I hear Pence speak and defend the indefensible I get images of at best a cowardly, spineless and afraid man, at worst not even the snail but the slimey tail left behind. How can such a man ever gain respect?

    1. Repent and believe in Jesus. John 3:16 KJV – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      Luke 13:3 KJV – I tell you nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
      2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV – Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

    2. Pence is just a shell of himself, that’s what happens when your wife takes away your balls. It’s clear pence is only speaking to the republican base because he wants the nomination. He couldn’t even win a primary against himself 🤣

  6. How soon they forget. The Republican congressmen declined to participate on the January 6 committee. They could have been full participants.

    1. @Norris Fong If memory serves, GOP Rep. John Katko negotiated an agreement with the Democrats that gave the GOP everything they wanted. Then McCarthy chose Jim Jordan, who would be a potential subject of the investigation, to be on the committee. So yes, McCarthy tried to sink the committee, after there was already an agreement.

    2. Not only was it a legitimate committee, but the ReTrumplicons also had their chance to get in on it, TWICE. First, the original request for the committee and the retrumplicons turned it down (McConnell). Then after Pelosi decided to start one anyway, the retrumplicons had a chance to get in on it and McCarthy nominated his cronies who were part of the insurrection, and Pelosi told them to take a hike. So she picked Liz Chaney and Adam Kinzinger, both real Republicans, and no retrumplicon cultists that McCarthy nominated allowed.

    1. @Omar T I think when the time comes doj will make this a white collar Reiko charge proscuiting Donald Trump and circle for the same thing as a group. Which this kind of charge is bad because they all get the same kind of time in jail.

    2. _”That committee was completely fair and legitimate!”_

      Not only was it a legitimate committee, but the ReTrumplicons also had their chance to get in on it, TWICE. First, the original request for the committee and the retrumplicons turned it down (McConnell). Then after Pelosi decided to start one anyway, they had a chance to get in on it and McCarthy nominated his cronies who were part of the insurrection, and Pelosi told them to take a hike. So she picked Liz Chaney and Adam Kinzinger, both real Republicans, and no retrumplicon cultists.

      On top of that, the retrumplicon cult forgets that it is ALL REPUBLICANS from Mango Mussolinis’ own nepotic administration that testified against him and his cult of followers. Also, the questions asked of them were from democrats and republicans on the committee. So yes, totally fair and legitimate.

    1. @JerryGarcia POBox1065 Don’t take the mark that will be required of everyone in the world to take in order to buy or sell anything including food. And when millions disappear they will probably say it’s a mass alien abduction when it’s actually the rapture. Aliens = fallen angels/demons.
      Revelation 14:11 KJV 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

    2. Why is he taking up for orange face this man provoked that crowd and they wanted to kill pence is something wrong with him

    1. Respect for doing his job!? That’s what he gets paid for. He is saying that I would have did what Trump said to do. He is not a hero! Tell that to the military that suffered for this country! He is a Coward.

    2. Respect? People don’t even remember this guy. He’s more manikin than Melania. Hollow window dressing for Americans too stoopido to live.

    3. I didn’t give him much – he did what every other VP has done. Why should he get any praise? I always like to point out, if anyone feels Pence deserves praise, that just shows how corrupt Trump is.

  7. He served the Devil and afterwards the Devil tried to kill him. I have no idea how you can look your family in the face and they know you’re a coward

    1. Pence’s brother is a member of congress and refused to vote to impeach trump even though he tried to have his brother killed, so the whole pence family is assed up in my opinion and should never be in any political office because they are all spineless.

  8. George Conway makes an excellent point, one that I’ve actually never heard anyone say before, and that was that Pence should have conceded the election lose long before Jan 6th, if not ON Jan 6th!

    1. You are absolutely right. After the no win litigation and the states approving electors, Pence should have publicly stated that they had lost fair and square. It was the right thing to do. He did not and was subjected to Trump’s unrelenting manic panic. When you check the meaning of pompousness, Pence is the prime example. Bleak future.

    1. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17

      “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39

      “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6°

    1. Stood up to Trump and Congress and did his job.

      I don’t run around asking for pats on the back when I do my job. I don’t rub it in peoples faces when I am right. I also don’t need to talk to the world about it either.

    2. Yes, Trump has stomped on Pence time after time, and Pence is AFRAID to say anything bad about Trump. Pence is a spineless coward who is unfit for office.

  9. We need to spread the truth. Have the facts come out louder, more frequently. Repeat the truth if necessary. Share the facts with people we know. Those are the way to fight the republicans’ lies and dishonesty.

    1. The only people who don’t know or understand the truth, at this point, are those who choose not know or understand, the truth.

    2. That divides people more. It creates conflicts.

      Let the government do their jobs. Let’s focus our attention to our families, friends, and neighbors.

      It’s Christmas. Don’t let Political Hate ruin your holiday

  10. The reason it looks “Partisan” is because we do not let the accused decide their own fate in a court of law.
