I think I do a good job explaining it in this thread.

@RonColeman, primarily the issue I have with Pence is that after December 14 vote of the electoral college, Pence got on stage multiple times and elevated expectations specifically for what could happen on 1/6. Up to the Monday before in GA.

Then after a report saying Pence told Trump he couldn’t do anything at lunch on 1/5, Trump released a statement contradicting the report and again raising expectations and stating he and Pence were on the same page.

If that was incorrect and 1/6 was just a rubber and people gathering in DC was so obviously dangerous then why did Pence wait until Trump was already on stage at the rally to finally clarify his true position?

Moreover the time of Pence’s statement was somewhat condescending and implied that his inability to do anything other than rubber stamp was definitive and obvious.

Again if that was his view why did he wait until Trump was on stage to let the world know that?

At a minimum he didn’t serve his President well. At worst he participated in an establishment set up designed to end Trump politically.

Since Pence hasn’t had the courage to explain himself, I am left to speculate about his motivations.

My opinion is very unfavorable.
