Thoughts on Mike
Pence -- Dishonest
My
Thoughts on Mike Pence
Never Trust a Man Who Put a
Knife in a Friend's Back
While Pence takes credit for
Trump's presidential accomplishments, saying, we did this and we did that,
he further twists the knife he strategically placed in his once friend's
back, on January 6, 2021.
Just two days before, on
Monday, January 4, 2021, Pence said the following at a Georgia
rally:
“We’ve all got our doubts about the last
election. I share the concerns of millions of Americans about voting
irregularities. Come this Wednesday we’ll have our day in Congress. We’ll
hear the evidence.”
Pence's own words implied he
believed the election results were greatly fraudulent and that something
could be done on Wednesday, January 6, 2021.
In
Pence's book, “So Help Me God,” Pence, speaking of the upcoming January 6,
2021 says, when Trump first suggested holding a rally on that day, "My
first thought was that a rally that day might be useful as a way to call
even more attention to the proceedings on the floor of the House and
Senate." --So, we can safely assume he expressed such to Trump. And we can
safely assume this is why Trump believed Pence would do what he could do
come January 6, 2021, and that would be to not read the so-called
"results" on that then upcoming day.
FLIP/FLOP
Then come that day, Pence did in fact chicken out and
read the so-called "results." That is when Trump went on Twitter and said
Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect
our Country and our Constitution.” --THIS is what Pence is claiming
endangered his life and his family's lives and tossed in the lives of the
whole of Congress for effect. And THIS is a coward.
Not only was Pence too scared to take a stand for
what he clearly believed had happened in the election, mass voter fraud,
he then behaved just like liberals. He went after Trump's speech, speech
that in no way called for harm to come to Pence or anyone for that matter.
It is simply free speech. Yet Pence wants to turn it into threatening
speech. That is straight out of the liberal playbook. And instead of
admitting he could just not go through with it, he has chosen to lie and
claim he did not have a constitutional right to NOT read those so-called
"results."
Pence quotes the constitution, which
speaking of the Vice President, who is the President of the Senate, states
the following:
"the President of the Senate shall, in
the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the
certificates and the votes shall then be
counted;"
Pence says the constitution says no more and
no less on this topic, in his defense of his claim that Trump asked him to
choose between Trump and the constitution. Pence's exact words, "Trump
asked me to choose him or the constitution - I chose the constitution."
--This is an out and out lie. Trump would have never said such words. But
Pence, who is a lawyer, is also playing by a lawyer's playbook. Lawyers
will get one key line and stick with it like a dog with a bone. Mark my
words, this will be Pence's one key line throughout the election. And it
is a lie.*
*An accusation like this should be backed
up with proof or never put out there. And if Trump had really said such a
thing, then why did Pence say what he said, just two days before January
6th?
What is also a lie is Pence's implication that
there was nothing he could have done that day, when fact is there was
something. He could have simply refused to read the so-called "results"
that day.
Nothing in the constitution says that the
President of the Senate shall read the results on any one particular day.
Pence could have simply refused to read them that day. He could have said
he refused to read the so-called "results" that day, because he did not
believe them to be the true results. No matter what, the constitution does
NOT state a particular day the results shall be read. Pence could have put
it off indefinitely. In the meantime, if Congress did not like it,
Congress could have gone to work on amending the constitution. But as it
is currently written, the constitution states what it states on this
topic, no more and no less.
Another
Thought
The day that Pence announced his run for
office, his wife spoke of having been humbled by his first loss for a
political office, way back when. She said they had thought they were
"God's gift to D.C.," and spoke of how they needed to be humbled. In my
opinion, they need some more of that good old fashion humbling. They
remind me of that couple in church who aspire to bring light onto
themselves and attempt to use the Lord in their endeavors to do
such.
In Closing
It is written in
Scripture that a friend loves at all times. I don't trust a man who sticks
a knife in the back of a friend. And I certainly do not trust a man who
attempts to use God in his plight to do such a
thing.
