Vice President Mike Pence called Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Thursday to offer his congratulations and assistance as Harris prepares to take over in less than a week, the New York Times reported Friday. Several other news organizations confirmed the call.
A day late and a dollar short if you ask me. Pence should have done this over a month ago. Heās just like Trumpy, still hoping to overturn the election.
I dunno . . . just seems like, back on the 6th while they were sheltering in place, Pence could have found 5 seconds or so to look up Harris and say, āOh, yeah, by the wayācongrats!ā But heād probably say by way of excuse that he was too busy, just then, running for his life and/or hiding from Trump.
No, I donāt think so. He may be a stuck-up, repressed doo-dad of a fundamentalist, but heās gradually doing something akin to the job he was originally voted in to do.
That isnāt to say he deserves acclaim or prestige, only a recognition that heās doing something right for a change.
