Congratulations to Vice President Mike Pence, the 2025 #ProfileInCourage honoree. Jack Schlossberg said: "Vice President Mike Pence and I are from different sides of the aisle and we disagree on a lot. That is what makes tonight so powerful. Because before we're partisans - we are patriots. (1/3)

"The US vice-president presides over the Senate, and it was in this role that Pence resisted calls from Trump and his supporters to try to overturn the election results.

Although there was no hard evidence to back up Trump's allegations, his supporters targeted the Congressional certification of the election, usually a routine procedure, on 6 January 2021.

Trump publicly criticised Pence and called on him to stop the certification process. Some of the Capitol rioters chanted "hang Mike Pence" as they breached security."

That's a good troll.

Wonder when Trump will pull Pence's Secret Service protection.

To save money, of course. Not out of any sort of petty vindictiveness.

Also, I fully expect the mentally challenged bleeper here to delete Pence's name...

We actually live in an age where a Republican will be given a prestigious award if he does his job and tells the truth. Bizarre.
