That’s…surprising? A republican with some sort of a spine. Huh.

It’s not spine. It’s the MAGA wanting to murder him leopard eating his face.

There were still plenty of other Republicans in that position on J6 who have come out to support Trump

Yeah, but they still need to be elected and can’t piss off the trump cult. Pence is almost 65 and after his dismal showing in the primaries has probably decided to quit politics. So he has a little more leeway to speak out.

A spine would make him endorse Biden, this is more of “he actually tried to murder me, I won’t endorse anyone then”.

I almost forgot about Mike Pence. The only thing I remember about him is I thought he was well spoken. I didn’t agree with anything he said but I liked his voice for some reason.

I’m seeing a bunch of people who haven’t learned from the last 50 years. He doesn’t endorse him now. He will when he’s named nominee.

This is the comment. News like this propagates the way it’s supposed to on social media without enough people pointing out this happens time and time again

Doesn’t matter. Repugnicans fall in line behind their demagogue only once they have no other path to remain in the good graces of the party.

So you’re saying he’ll sacrifice himself to the group at a severe risk to his personal safety?

This just in: Victim of leopard mauling says he won’t give leopard second helping.

Fuck this guy. I’m not giving him credit for not being a completely horrible person when he has been a horrible person. He hasn’t learned anything, made amends, etc. He just doesn’t want the person who put hundreds of people on a mission for his head to have total power.
