Mike Pence Thinks “History” Will Hold Donald Trump Accountable.
And that’s probably the only accountability he’ll have to deal with.
I suppose it could really go without saying that the Republican Party certainly has its fair share of cowards, and if there was any sort of silver lining to the Trump era it’s the fact that his rise brought all of that to the forefront of the conversation. Now, with the civil war escalating within the GOP, it’s been interesting to see prominent figures within the party weigh in with their thoughts on Trump and how they feel about him, particularly those who — like former Vice President Pence — have Presidential ambitions themselves.
Ben Terris with The Washington Post writes:
“In a speech Saturday night, former vice president Mike Pence delivered what amounted to his strongest rebuke of Donald Trump, criticizing the former president for his role in the lead-up to the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol as well as attempts to rewrite the history of that day.
“President Trump was wrong,” Pence said. “I had no right to overturn the election. And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day. And I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”…”
