  1. Pence we don’t want you!

  2. No one asked Pence to overturn an election. There is a procedure to follow if an election is not certified. The world would have looked at the AMERICAN EXPERIMENT: Wow, look at what they do when there is alleged dishonesty in an election. Pence did Not have to certify the election. P told Kudlow there was nothing he could have done. NOT TRUE. He had an option to follow had he not certified the election.

  3. MIKE PENCE doesn't MAKE SENSE

  4. If only he would of called trump out from the get go. Atleast he is nowm

  5. Regardless of your political beliefs Mike shows himself to be a disloyal low-life whom nobody should trust. Especially with a Country if Biden leaves anything left of it, that is.

  6. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WHILE BEING A VICE PRESIDENT. WAIT ! LET ME RETRACT THAT. YES HE DID DO SOMETHING WHILE BE VICE PRESIDENT. HE WAS BOUGHT OUT BY 30 PIECES OF SILVER. MAN HAS NO BACK BONE.

  7. If Pence had spoke up after Jan 6 and like Christie started telling the truth about Trump then, he would have had a real shot at the nomination. He took the path of a coward like all the others wanting to get the nomination and now sees how badly that is working out for them. Too little, too late coward boy.

  8. Where were these stupid people who says there were no election fraud?????? Where in the world you allow mail in ballot on election day after election is closed???? Where ??? All the statisticians in fraud hearing said the results were STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE ! The election was sham and FRAUD.

  9. He is just like another infamous betrayer with whom his name he'll forever be remembered: Judas Iscariot

  10. He's such a slimy politician who doesn't trust himself enough to dine with other women colleagues without his wife being present. That's truly slimy. And he thinks he has a chance for the presidency? Really? And then he says to tucker that the American people and their problems are not his concern. When people tell you who they are BELIEVE THEM

  11. Wow colors finally came out that day. He did put himself over the constitution he had an opinion about the election and asked you to send the votes back to the states to be recounted. You the one who didn’t hold you oath. Just another rino.

  12. I have read Constitutional Law all my life and even very early in school we were taught that President Washington could probably have made himself King if he had wanted to do so. We can thank Washington and the founding fathers for giving us a Republic "if we can keep it"… There are theories today which state that our sitting President has the power of "Kings" and can mostly do what he wants to do (in the National interest… which might possibly could be broadly interpreted). I guess what is interesting to me and possibly frightening is that another President with another Vice President might possibly get away with overturning an election and essentially taking over Government. This is simply my interpretation of the many "theories" which seem to have been around since our Constitution's ratification. I don't endorse or oppose any candidate but know from experience that men in power often take their liberties and I have been shocked at times at the power they may have used against me at a time when I was nothing more than a volunteer. I'm not being critical but neither do I appreciate it when politicians call me a crook or a criminal when I am not being paid or compensated in any way and am honestly not a politician.

  13. Pense is delusional to think anyone would vote for this traitor.

  14. Señoras y Señores,
    El Reverendo Judas Iscariote

  15. Never trust a preacher. They lie like HELL!

  16. Former VP Mike Pence us a Great morally upstanding Republican candidate. He is a former Governor; that means he understands the Executive branch.
    Most of all, he is a candidate who would receive the full backing if the Founding Fathers.

  17. Pence is controlled by a video of him raping amd murdering a 8 year old boy at a church in Ashland Oregon.

    Bernie Sanders is controlled by a video of him raping a 5 year old girl in a beach cabana in Panama in 1980's when he traveled to Nicaragua. Noriega had videos of several US political parasites including GHW bush raping young boys and slicing their throats.

    Its why Bush went after Noriega and isolated him in a Federal prison.

    Those videos were copied.

    J. E. Hoover's numerous control files are being kept on a Fuji Island in the care of a family…

  18. Pence has cut-off his base of supporters, we will never support Pence, we support Trump and Trump will be President in 2025! "Former VP Mike Pence committed political suicide in the Republican party by not supporting Trump when he said that former President Donald Trump put “himself over the Constitution” and should “never be President of the United States”

  19. He would make a good president I'm democrat I would vote for Mike pince😊

  20. Pence is correct, he put himself over the Constitution, he had the right and responsibility to ask the state Legislatures to review the electors and verify which electors were valid! He refused to verify the electors via the state’s Legislatures. So how can he say that the Executive Branch of the State override their Senate’s Authority? Many voters will for ever question the validity of the Court’s for dismissing the cases without actually considering the evidence and facts, and the fact that Biden on video states that they were repeating the same vote fraud that Obama did in his second election! Now followed with obvious evidence that the Courts have been manipulating evidence to get the results they want by omitting and hiding evidence from the jury, has done more to create distrust in the entire judicial system. From Al Gore’s challenge of Bush’s win to modern day, we see Democrats can accuse election fraud and get their day in court, but Republicans can’t get the same thing!

  21. PENCE CAN NOW ATTACK TRUMP WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT TRUMP ATTACKING HIM.

    Pence has the backing of the court’s order, which told Trump not to commit any other crimes including that Trump should not intimidate the witnesses…now imagine if Trump starts threatening Pence as a “SNITCH” or “COWARD”…then the judge could violate Trump’s bail and send his ass straight to jail for the duration of the trial. This judge is not going to tolerate Trump’s continued violation of the law…

    PENCE KNOWS ALL OF THIS!!

    Pence can say whatever HE wants about Trump and Trump is going to have to keep his mouth SHUT. This is beautiful…imagine how frustrated Trump will be.

  22. I have to respect how chill he was when people were screaming for his blood. If someone showed up to my office with a noose I'd be pretty upset.

  23. Amazing grace how sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like him
    He once was lost, but now he’s found
    Was blind but now he seeeees!

    PRAISE THE GOOD LAWWWWWD! MIKE PENCE HAS FINALLY SEEN THE LIGHT! 🙌🏻

  24. Prolonged arms akimbo just doesn't fit Mike.

  25. What Hoosiers are capable of:
    Ray Spruance handled a critical situation when Bull Hallsey couldn't by sinking three fully loaded Japanese Aircraft carriers in 4 minutes.
    It took a few hours more to sink Japan's fourth carrier. That pretty much determined WW2, six months after Pearl Harbor.

  26. Of course Trump is incapable of choosing anyone with quality , integrity and character . That explains why Trump chose Pence as Vice President .

  27. Between pence and Hutchinson… im choosing Pence

  28. That I believe. Crackpot lawyers.

  29. How about Ol Joe Biden comiting treason while vice president? I guess that's okay??

  30. He has something to hide.

  31. I just lied to get out of a sticky and dangerous situation. I have to apologize to Pence. I went too far. I won't be a hypocrite. Prayers.

  32. She asked about Trump
    not you . But thanks for doing the right thing.

  33. You’re getting close to acting like a human being Michael…especially one whose family was threatened with seeing you executed…under orders of your President.

    Keep going and finally be honest. You are finally showing some real conviction…and don’t think we didn’t notice you slide in “former President”

  34. The election was stolen The real president supposed to be trump not that old grumpy fake president

  35. That is the most coherent, honest thing I have ever heard Pence say.

  36. Trump surrounded himself with incompetent lawyers because he knew they would give him cover when things went south. He made all decisions to send rioters to the capital himself. And he deserves to go to jail for his crimes.

  37. They always throw the constitution in our face like they are the righteous ones.This is nothing more than a clown show 🤡🍿 These satanic pedophiles are trying to lower our vibration, don't allow them to break your spirit. Pray for them, this is the only way we can win.🙏

  38. Pence did his duty on Jan 6th. Unfortunately Pence and the Republican Party didn’t stand for the truth since that day. The GOP politicians did their best and still are doing their best to sabotage the country with lies and misleading information in an attempt to undermine our Democracy and put their party first. I wouldn’t vote for a guy like Putin in Russia and I won’t vote for a Republican here in our magnificent country as they seem to be one and the same.

  39. The political career of Mike Pence evaporated when he refused the cabinet recommendation to enact the 25th amendment.
