Former Vice President Mike Pence said he looked to the founding father James Madison and the Bible early this year when he decided to defy Donald Trump and certify the president's reelection defeat.
Pence was speaking at an event for young conservatives at the University of Iowa on Monday. During a question-and-answer segment after his speech, an audience member identified as Jared requested that Pence identify who in the White House counseled him to "buck President Trump's plan and certify the votes" of the 2020 US election. Jared also suggested that Pence changed his mind and decided to certify the votes because he didn't want to damage his future chances of running for office.
Ridiculous. Before he "decided" to certify,? Like he had a choice? He was REQUIRED to, as stipulated in the Constitution.
Yet, Trump wanted to do an end run around the constitution, to try to be reinstated as president.
Of course, which only proves (again) he thinks the truth is what he wants it to be, or deludes himself into believing.
Which begs the question, is he that stupid, or that deluded, or does he know the truth but thinks he can convince the right people it isn't?
It's got to be either he deludes himself, or knows the truth, and I think it's the latter. But not sure.
