Look all we all know is what the (former) president has been accused of within the indictment. We don’t know what his protection is. We don’t know if this can ever go to trial. We don’t know what the decision will probably be by the jury.”
Pence known as the felony fees divisive for the nation and saddening that we at the moment are on this second.
This could’t be repeated typically sufficient. Donald Trump tried to convey hurt to Mike Pence and reportedly stated that Pence deserved what occurred on 1/6.
For most individuals the reply to the query that Pence was requested can be extra like if he’s convicted, he ought to do his time. I imagine within the rule of regulation and the justice system. The regulation applies to everybody equally.
Solely a spineless individual would dodge the query of pardoning Trump.
The conclusion that may be drawn from the habits of most Republican 2024 presidential candidates is that they don’t imagine within the rule of regulation, they usually don’t really feel that the regulation ought to be utilized equally.
Mike Pence isn’t going to be the Republican nominee, and his shameless pandering model of politics will not be the form of management that America wants.
