You know, fuck Pence, and fuck the people claiming he's standing up for democracy. This guy was at the centre of a criminal conspiracy to end democracy in your country. Did he call the FBI? No. Did he go to the media to alert the public? No. Did he resign in protest as a matter of conscience? No. He waited in the wings to see if Trump's coup would succeed. When it didn't, he threw in with the winning side.
Opportunistic fuck face.

This.
I never understood why anyone would suddenly have praise for this traitorous coward.
If he had come forward immediately, I would have had some respect.
I will grant Pence some cred for not trying to overturn the election, but otherwise, he is a cowardly lickspittle who couldn't find a spine with both hands. And who have we to thank that Pence stood up to the uber bully? Dan fucking Quayle who told him it would be totes illegal to mess it up. I am not sure what to do with that. Dan Quayle saved american democracy, which is odd for a start, or the fact that Mike Pence reached out to him for advice. But there it is. Or then there is the issue of why Pence even considered doing anything other than what the law dictates. Why was that even a question in his head?
