            Not tried. Did. He absolutely did. There’s an expose on this. If it wasn’t for that judge’s strong condemnation of trump trying to overturn the election when talking to Pence, Pence might have voted to overturn.

              Pence didn’t get a vote, he had to do his job or not do his job. His decision was not a vote, he chose to do his job instead of not doing his job

      This guy helped save us in 2020 by working to convince Pence to defy Trump and to certify the election. If you are going to save us a click at least read the article and allow us to give the guy an ounce of credit.
