New in PJ Media:
When did Mike Pence morph into Mitt Romney? The formerly sane vice president has now joined the likes of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger in banging the tattered Jan. 6 “insurrection” drum, trying to stoke hatred of Donald Trump and provoke legal action against him over this supposed effort to destroy “our democracy” that lacked a leader, advance planning, weapons, and everything else you might expect an attempt to overthrow the government to have.
Pence is making the media rounds promoting his new memoir, So Help Me God, which is sure to release a megaton of pious posturing and hypocrisy into the atmosphere; on Sunday, ABC’s World News Tonight released portions of an interview with the perfect-haired fraud, showing that Pence is going all-in on echoing talking points that Leftists use with increasing frequency to silence and discredit patriots.
Pence told ABC’s David Muir that Donald Trump engaged in “reckless” rhetoric on that fateful day that “endangered me and my family and everyone at the Capitol.” This came when Muir “referenced the former president’s tweet as violent protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, accusing Pence of not having the ‘courage to do what he should have done’ with regard to certifying President Joe Biden’s electoral victory in Congress in his capacity as president of the Senate.”
Pence told Muir: “It angered me, but I turned to my daughter, who was standing nearby, and I said, ‘It doesn’t take courage to break the law, it takes courage to uphold the law.’ The president’s words were reckless. It was clear he decided to be part of the problem. The president’s words that day at the rally endangered me and my family and everyone at the Capitol building.” This was just feeding the Jan. 6 mythology of a mob of violent, crazed MAGA protestors, stirred into a frenzy by Trump, storming the Capitol. Like the Jan. 6 Committee, Pence ignores the fact that Trump told protestors to proceed “peacefully and patriotically.”
Even worse, Pence takes Trump’s critical statement, that he lacked the “courage to do what he should have done,” as incitement to violence, endangering him and his family. This is an extremely common Leftist talking point: a patriot says something critical about a Leftist, no matter how mild, and then the Leftist claims that he or she has been inundated with death threats as a result. This is both a deflection from the fact that the Left is responsible for the overwhelming majority of the political violence in this country and an attempt to reinforce the Biden regime’s false narrative that “white supremacists” and “right-wing extremists” constitute the greatest terror threat the nation faces today.
There is more. Read the rest here.

If Trump come out today that he is running for president in 2024 ,one thing for sure Pence will not be on his short list as VP picks ! The only thing that seems to stick for the democrats is” Jan 6 (a day that they say is Peal Harbor and 911 rolled into one !) the question of abortions rules even though abortion rules regulation, and laws is now fully a state issue now .New York ,New Jersey ,most of New England and the whole west coast can have women abort their children up to the 9 month and in some cases after birth ,while some southeastern and southwestern states will cut abortion off around the 11 week .The questions of inflation , world war 3,nuclear war, massive illegal alien invading America, are not problems that the democrats even want to acknowledge even though they have been in control of the house Senate and the Whitehouse for the past 2 years. Rinos like Pence want to play nice with these people who have brought these plagues that get worse everyday with the democrats policies or lack of any real policies that work.

Pence is doing an interview with CNN to plug his new book tonight ,I guess all those attacks and hit pieces CNN did on him about his religious beliefs by CNN from 2016 till 2020 are al forgiven .He sold himself and his beliefs out cheap to plug his book .I am sure they will be plenty of of personal opinions ,his own only no other witnesses present observations on Trumps “unprofessional” behavior on CNN tonight! Maybe he can get a job with CNN , they have a solid record of hiring losers whose only opinions not news is broadcasted to ever shrinking watching public.

Instead of Ron DeSantis, Pence should announce his run for the WH against Trump! Then he can claim the support of the Trump hating Republicans, whoever they are, and also claim that all of Trump’s administrative achievements are his as well. That would make for a much more fascinating race, and the GOP will have a primary
