Mike Pence is the saddest Trump loyalist of all.

And that’s saying something.

The list of Republican politicians who have determined there is nothing Trump can do that will prevent them from licking his boots remains long, and just as pathetic as it was in 2016. How can we forget Lindsey Graham, who was literally doxxed by the former President and had his phone number released to the public when he dared to criticize him during the primary? Or, of course there’s Ted Cruz, who made a public show of how offended he was that Trump called his wife ugly, only to be caught on camera phone banking for him not long after. That being said, even sadder is the fact that Trump’s Vice President Mike Pence might just be the saddest loyalist of all.

We all remember January 6th. As exhausting as it is to continue hearing about it on a regular basis, there’s no denying the fact that the events of that day were alarming to say the least. High on the list would be the Vice President being whisked away from the senate floor just a minute or two before a crowd of rioters chanting “hang Mike Pence” broke in. Of course, to make matters worse, Trump not only has refused to really condemn the actions of this crowd and their threats to his Vice President, he is now on tape justifying their actions.
