That reads like a really bad joke... blaming the near victim Pence for, "not being straight with the President"?

That would be laughable were we not talking about the conspiracy plot to overturn the Election.

You know, the one Rwingers still claim never existed.

Let the scapegoating begin.

That means we can take anything coming out of Trump and his co-conspirators as an effort to shift blame away from the real culprits.

As I recall the testimony during the investigation, Pence wasn't even in the room when all this plotting and scheming was going on and didn't even know about it.

I suppose Cheesbro would also have us believe that Pence built his own hangman's scaffold and tied the noose to the crossbeam.

But, wonder of wonders, here's the real "go figure" ~~ Pence still supports Trump for President and refuses to say a bad word about him.

Pence is to blame for many things. This isn't one of them.

"Pence still supports Trump for President and refuses to say a bad word about him."

Probably feelsthreatened by MAGA terrorists, can't really blame him. If I were a Republican hoping for the VP slot I think I'd take note.

Trump will be looking for another wooden bobblehead.

And Uncle Tim Scott thinks he wants to be VP? Does he know the history of black men and nooses in this country? This chucklehead thinks he would not be in danger if, while in power, Der Dotard decided he wanted to stay on beyond his designated time in office...

Step N Fetchit Scott clearly doesn't think the MAGAterrorists were serious about hanging Mike Pence but I think he is wrong about that. Even if he becomes VP he won't be put in the position Pence was where his constitutional duty to certify an election anyway.

Once Dictator Trump transfers the text of Russia's constitution to America, he, just like Putin did, can stay in power as long as he likes. That the whole purpose of why he's being backed and supported by the GOP. The plan is remain in power forever . . . or what they refer to as the Thousand Year Reich.

Believe it or not, Russia also has a Supreme Court. But they're just for show to make sure all legal decisions don't land square on Mr. Putin. They're really just paid "yes" people.

It's not so surprising that our own U.S. Supreme Court is already half-way there, working incrementally in preparation for the big change.

Which would explain why Chief Justice Roberts is grinning and foot shuffling his way to slow down Trump's court cases.

It appears that Chesebro is claiming that because Pence followed the law and did what the Constitution required of him, that this is what led Trump's supporters to invade the Capital.

According to Trumpy Mike Pence deserved it. (according to a former White House aide who testified to Congress under oath as to what she saw and heard during the weeks surrounding the attack.)

"According to Trumpy Mike Pence deserved it."

Trump said those very words at his pre-insurrection rally at the Ellipse.

The crowd was chanting "Hang Mike Pence." And Trump said, "Maybe he deserves it."

We all heard it. Trump was giving them his permission and his idiot followers took it seriously. The mob was searching the hallways and offices, chanting and looking for Mike Pense. They certainly intended to attack him.

All this in spite of the fact that Pence's Secret Service detail carry guns. The ignorant fools didn't think of THAT! They missed getting killed in the hallway themself by just a few seconds.

"It appears that Chesebro is claiming that because Pence followed the law and did what the Constitution required of him, that this is what led Trump's supporters to invade the Capital."

Chesebro is grasping at straws. Probably trying to cover his own ass more than Trump because he lost the immunity deal he had with prosecutors.

What Chesebro is really saying is, 'It wasn't me. Pence did this to himself.' blah, blah, blah.

It's all scapegoating. Trump scapegoats Chesebro. Chesebro scapegoats Pence.

They're all yellowbellied cowards.

@#13 ... Chesebro is grasping at straws. ...

I wouldn't even give him that much credit.

In my view, he is trying to grasp air. ...

#3 Twinpac No one ever said that Pence was smart.

#12 Twinpac I still think some of Pence's SS agents weren't going to protect him, but help the MAGATs hang him.

Could be he's protecting his mother from Trump's terrorists fire bombing HER house.

They're not above sending the most vicious messages they can think of, including kidnapping, murder or worse as the calendar ticks down to November.

Remember, Trump said he never forgets and he never forgives.
