I can't even say it was good that he said this, bc saying it 7 days later makes a mockery of the words.

It only inflames. I spoke up several times in Dec/Jan about his tweets recklessly, needlessly promoting the march. Then I saw him fail to review USCP status on the AM of 1/6.

OTOH this, is an example of statesmanship.

I now realize Mike Pence has represented all Americans by being by the President's side all this time in case intervention was genuinely needed.

On 1/6, it was. Not before.

What Mike Pence has been put through is incredible poor treatment in both directions. He showed us how to keep your cool and do your duty no matter what.

The left has always said disgusting hateful things about him.

Then a noisy faction on the right started letting rip.

For the first few days after 1/6 I felt bad for Mike Pence because his President just trashed his future, & did nothing to denounce the death threats made by his associates like Lin Wood (& condoned by Sidney Powell.)

But then I realized something.

Mike Pence knew from the start that he and Trump would probably only get one term, and there was a risk of the Vice Presidency being his final senior role in the federal government.

I once described him as a servant leader. I also think, now, that he has balls of steel.

It's not Trump that showed immense courage in tough times, it's Pence.

I would adore seeing him become POTUS one day... but the chance of that is extremely small now.

And he's OK with that. He serves. God, family, country.

Did you know he is a biker? Check out the patches on his jacket:

Mike Pence is the real deal. What he's achieved is extraordinary.

I was a huge fan of both Trump and Pence, from day one of their joint candidacy. I can't support Trump's actions of the past 10 weeks. But I will talk about the courage (and competence) of Mike Pence forever.
