Any comment from Pence on the threat by twelve United States Senators to "reject the electors from disputed states” — or is he still on vacation and refusing to talk?
Mr. Vice President, any chance you could bother to express your reaction to the threat by twelve U.S. Senators to “reject" the Electoral College results?
Pence, we Americans don’t want to impose but it would be nice to hear at least something from you — sometime.

On this day in 1808 was born Andrew Johnson, whom many scholars consider to have been one of the most atrocious Presidents in American history:
Andrew Johnson (born today 1808) insisted that when he died (1875), he should be buried swaddled in an American flag, with his head on a copy of the Constitution. But as a lame-duck President leaving office, even Andrew Johnson never tweeted heroic videos about himself.
Ticket to the Senate trial of Andrew Johnson, first President to be impeached (born today 1808):

Next he will claim he was one of the astronauts on the first moon landing.
