Pence Still Doesn’t ‘See Eye-To-Eye’ With Trump On Capitol Attack | Talking Points Memo

“I will not allow Democrats or their allies in the media to use one tragic day to discredit the aspirations of millions of Americans,” he added.

What, their aspirations to hang him?

TBH, I would not have given a damn if they had hung The Mother Fucker.

"Pence accused Democrats of using the attack perpetrated by Trump’s followers … to divide the GOP. "

Yeah! Republicans should be UNITED in celebrating the attacks upon our democracy, our Capitol, and tthemselves!! Pence doesn’t mind that he and his entire family, children included, could have been abused and murdered, so why should you guys gripe? You’re sounding like those weenie Democrats!

…And most GQPers will actually buy this.

Not sure what constituency does Mike Pence think he is appealing to, half of America hates him for being Trump’s lapdog, the other half hates him for stabbing the dear leader in the back by legitimizing the clearly stolen election.

But again, Mike Pence is a moron, and when in Congress he was voted the most stupid member of the House.

Difficult to see eye to eye when your head is firmly stuck in somebody’s backside

Cut him a break, he’s a domestic violence survivor.

Are we entirely certain that one of them is not the ersatz clone of the other?

Mike doesn’t see eye to eye with his brother who voted against establishing the commission to investigate the mob that wanted to hang him!

Looks like lots of fun is going to be had at the family’s Thanksgiving get-together!

Moments later, he appeared to still be singing Trump’s praises saying that in spite of the pro-Trump mob’s attack on Capitol he will “always be proud of what we accomplished for the American people over the last four years.”

You can tell what kind of a tree it is by the fruit it bears, or so I’ve heard. I think it was in a book somewhere.

Well, yeah he murders people who cross him but it’s not personal; it’s just business.

“President Trump and I have spoken many times since we left office, and I don’t know if we’ll ever see eye-to-eye on that day,” Pence said in a speech at the Hillsborough County GOP’s annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner in Manchester, New Hampshire.

OK. First of all, T rumpp wanted you hanged on 1-6, so no one would actually expect you to see eye-to-eye with him about events that unfolded on that day.

Secondly, using the name “Lincoln-Reagan” in any official capacity is sacrilege to President Lincoln. He does not deserve to be dragged down into the gutter to appease Republican wishful thinking that they espouse the same values as Honest Abe. The GOP and the word “honest” are antithetical.

Fake news! That book doesn’t even mention Donald J Trump, much less his triumphant return in August.

Mike Pence: Pay no mind to crowd chanting for my hanging and the construction of a gallows on the grounds of the capitol.
It’s obvious that his reparative therapy isn’t working well.

I wish I could express without being intensely vulgar my profound contempt for this creature. I’ve rarely heard of a more hypocritical coward. Absolutely disgusting.

What a sorry, old fool. I felt for him that day. Not anymore. I feel for his children. His wife made her choice, but to not even care that this man almost got your own kids killed? That’s a lust for power and attention that I can’t even begin to fathom.
