Drew Allen at American Greatness explained why, in his view, Mike Pence is not Presidential material. Mr. Allen compared the contested election of 1876 to November 2020:
A stalemate ensued for three months
in 1876 as both Democrats and Republicans refused to give in. The contested
states sent competing electors to Washington, D.C. In 1876 this was unprecedented.
But the Republicans of 1876 didn’t cave as Mike Pence did. When it came time to
certify the electoral votes in 2021, Pence
remarked, “When the Joint Session of Congress convenes today, I will do my
duty to see to it that we open the certificates of the Electors of the several
states, we hear objections raised by Senators and Representatives, and we count
the votes of the Electoral College for President and Vice President in a manner
consistent with our Constitution, laws, and history. So Help Me God.”
. . .
Over 120 members of Congress voiced their objections to electoral certification. Here is what Pence then said:
“It is my considered judgment that
my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming
unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and
which should not,” Pence declared.
But Pence didn’t support and defend the Constitution. He revealed that he wasn’t
willing to fight for the Constitution.
The full article by Mr. Allen is here. Constitutional conservatives have crossed Mike
Pence off their list.
