According to reports about the new Bob Woodward book, Former Vice President, Michael Pence was deeply disturbed and had a hard time deciding whether to Certify the Election Results on 1/6/2021, or whether to try to throw them out.
The new book alleges that President Trump specifically told Pence that if Pence wouldn’t help Trump out and fail to certify the results,Trump wouldn’t want to be his friend anymore. From Pence’s point of view there goes the single most powerful ally he could have on the Republican side for his own White House run.
Pence supposedly called, of all people, Dan Quayle, who allegedly to Pence that Pence had no discretion or personal choice. As we know, Pence certified the results.
In Pence’s shoes, maybe I would have had counsel look into whether there was any way to delay the certification so I could get more info on the alleged voting irregularities, but given the evidence, I don’t think I would have wanted my name to go down in history as a partisan hack who tried to overturn one of the most secure elections in American history.
What say you war room?
