If there has ever been a more pathetic, sycophantic, groveling weasel in all of world history, I don’t know who it might be:
Former vice president Mike Pence said media reporting on the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection is meant to “demean” supporters of former president Donald Trump, some of whom stormed the Capitol that day shouting, “Hang Mike Pence!”
In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News on Monday night, Pence sought to explain media coverage of the Jan. 6 riot in which he was hurriedly evacuated from the Senate chamber and taken to a secure location amid threats to his life.
“I know the media wants to distract from the Biden administration’s failed agenda by focusing on one day in January,” Pence told Hannity. “They want to use that one day to try and demean the character and intentions of 74 million Americans who believed we could be strong again and prosperous again and supported our administration in 2016 and 2020.”
Some 800 members of a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol as they sought to stop the counting of electoral votes for Joe Biden in the worst attack on the seat of democracy since the War of 1812. The riot left five people dead and more than 140 members of law enforcement injured.
He seems to think the MAGA faithful are going to forgive him for failing Dear Leader and bring him back into the fold. He is wrong. But Trump and his minions will no doubt enjoy watching him demean himself over and over again trying.
His political career is over, it’s just a matter of how history remembers him. He’s chosen to be remembered as the most masochistic, obsequious Trump toadie of them all.
