Former VP Mike Pence has a memoir coming out next week titled “So Help Me God.” Today the Wall Street Journal published a excerpt from it dealing with the events leading up to and following January 6. Pence outlines some of the pressure he was under to attempt to change the outcome of the election by refusing to certify the vote from a handful of states.
On Dec. 23, my family boarded Air Force Two to spend Christmas with friends. As we flew across America, President Trump retweeted an obscure article titled “Operation Pence Card.” It alluded to the theory that if all else failed, I could alter the outcome

Mike Iscariot Pence write a book that is probably filled with lies and a significant hit job on Trump. Buy it and put it in the little house in the backyard with a moon cut in the door, or use it to line your bird cage, or tear it into strips to light your bbq coals. I will certainly not be buying it let alone reading it.

What a lying piece of garbage!!!! He was never pressured to "change the outcome of the election by refusing to certify the vote from a handful of states".
He was simply asked to postpone the certification for a short time to allow the evidence of the election theft to be investigated. It wouldn't have stopped anything. But he was a useless backstabbing DC sewer creature, and he clearly still is!!!!!
I would never vote for a Demon-Rat, but I will also never vote for a backstabbing RINO like Pence either!!!!! I guess I would have to sit that election out!!!

Oh here we go again with the unhinged nuthouse theorists. Pence had no constitutional authority to do anything other than what he did. When a member of the house and the senate from the same state object to the electors, the Veep sends that state’s delegation to settle the matter. That’s what Pence did. He had no other authority and there is no constitutional theory to the contrary.

Mike Pence is the last person you want anywhere near you. He has sold his soul to the cabal that is trying destroy this country. He is a sanctimonious fraud. Cashing in this way says everything you need to know about Pence’s lack of character. I always thought there was something off about him but just could not put my finger on it. Now it is clear. He is a self-serving little man willing to betray the guy who trusted him, picked him out of the political graveyard and gave him the opportunity of a lifetime, to serve as VPOTUS.
From the excerpt in the article it is clear that Pence is painting himself as the hero while casting President Trump as the desperate and weak villain refusing to accept reality. If I remember correctly the states in question were requesting that they have more time to enable them to make sure their numbers were correct because they had serious doubts. At no time was Pence urged to overturn anything.
Looking back on those few days it was obvious that there was a large contingent in the Republican Party that wanted Trump gone. Instead of asking for time to look into the various examples of fraud that were coming out, these individuals wanted to put a lid on it as soon as possible. They had no curiosity and no time for the many examples of fraud that were coming to light. There were questions that the American people wanted answered but the coalition of anti-Trumpers were already calling anyone questioning the many disturbing videos election deniers, sore losers, and liars. The fix was truly in And Pence was a part of it. Reasonable people were asking reasonable questions but were shut down, called names and ignored. The “big lie” was created by the media and democrat party and the rest is history.

Mike needs to go back and reread the 20th chapter of Exodus one more time and pay better attention to the part about bearing false witness! He then needs to go home and slap his mother for raising such a POS!

Some publisher will take a bath on this yawner. It will be lucky if it makes it to the seconds bin before being pulled altogether.

It figures that he's writing a book. He already blew through his 30 pieces of silver.

Benedict Pence.
And this guy thinks he is presidential material?
There was an historical PRECEDENT for him to follow, and he did not even consider it, and look at what his failure caused.
Trump may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Judas Pence will go down as a major disappointment

This is why I would never vote for Pence, he's a jellyfish, no backbone. He's part of the establishment. Scum democrats for over 6 years have been going after Trump and his family. Impeachment based on total lies, character assassination based on total lies, a Russian collusion hoax based on lies fabricated and paid for by the Clintons and lying to the courts to destroy Trump. And Pence has not guts. Got it.

Unfortunately Pence Is a wimp, and if the wimpy Republicans ever nominate him to be their Presidential candidate, the Democrats will have no problem stomping Pence into the gutter.

Excerpts I read have Pence saying that he was fully onboard with contesting the elector slates from half a dozen states, had plenty of Reps lined up to file the formal complaints(190+), Senators to 2nd the motions(4+)...sending each states slates to the house and senate separately one at a time for discussion, debate, voting whether to accept, reject, accept alternate slates of electors...or return them to the various state legislatures. It would have taken several more days to go through the process and allow for several more courts and legislatures time to make rulings...many of those courts and legislature HAVE since ruled that processes in the 2020 election WERE unlawful, and cannot ever be repeated. Was fully onboard with continuing that plan when the building had been cleared...it was OTHER house members who went wobbly and abandoned that course. In those excerpts he isn't "attacking Trump" but primarily praising him, he does say that Eastmans input was rejected as invalid/unworkable but he agreed with the longer process that would accomplish the same thing. Making time for the 20 states lawsuits to be heard, appealed as needed...the several states who had already requested their elector slates to be returned to get them back. He had already entertained the complaint motion from the 1st state and adjourned the session to their respective chambers...

Keep in mind...during the complaint/debate process many of the Dems were not attending, many were not even in town, Proxy voting was not allowed, Repubs could have prevailed.
