Former Vice President Pence on Tuesday delivered his strongest condemnation yet of former President Trump, after his former running mate was indicted Tuesday on four criminal charges related to his efforts to cling to power and overturn the results of the 2020 election.

“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States,” Pence wrote in a statement.

    I never thought I would say this, but thank God for Dan Quayle. Pence was looking for any excuse not to certify the election results, and Quayle told him flat out that the Vice President didn’t have that authority.

      I did not know about that. Amazing who turns out to do the right thing. I guess Quayle was so long ago that if his conservative set points didn’t change he’d be a liberal now.
