Former Vice President Mike Pence’s Reluctance to Hold Trump Accountable for Jan. 6 Attack
In a recent interview, former Vice President Mike Pence made some troubling statements regarding Donald Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Here are some key points that highlight the lies being perpetuated by Trump and his allies:
– Pence stated that Trump’s words were “reckless” but he is not convinced they were criminal, despite mounting evidence suggesting otherwise.
– Pence dodged questions about whether Trump should be held accountable if evidence of criminality is found, instead choosing to deflect and change the subject.
– Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also avoided answering a similar question about holding Trump accountable for any potential criminal actions.
These statements and actions by prominent Republicans raise serious concerns about the rule of law and accountability in our democracy. It is clear that Trump and his allies are willing to ignore evidence of wrongdoing and prioritize their own political interests over the well-being of the country.
Donald Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy by undermining the foundations of truth and accountability. His refusal to accept responsibility for his actions and his allies’ willingness to enable his behavior set a dangerous precedent for future leaders who may seek to evade consequences for their actions.
