Now Mike Pence wants a standing ovation for having a spine\u2014for exactly 12 minutes\u2014on January 6th. Sorry, too late. Conservative columnist George Will nailed it years ago: Pence was Trump\u2019s obedient poodle, fully housebroken and morally neutered. In 2018,<\/strong> Pence flew to Indiana just to stage a pearl-clutching walkout at a Colts game during the anthem. Theatrical outrage, brought to you by taxpayer dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then he shuffled off to Arizona to fawn over Joe Arpaio, a racist ex-sheriff convicted of criminal contempt. Pence called him a \u201cchampion of the rule of law.\u201d That\u2019s like calling a bank robber a financial planner.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Now he\u2019s trying to polish his legacy and sniff around 2028, hoping America forgets he spent four years licking Trump\u2019s boots down to the soles. He didn\u2019t lead us out of the darkness\u2014he just dimmed the lights a little less.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump is a racist who is being used by White Nationist to recreate an Aryan Nation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
