Trump again lashes out at Pence, blames him for Jan. 6 riot

[Scott]

 

Former President Trump told reporters on Monday that "in many ways you can blame" former Vice President Mike Pence for the U.S. Capitol riot, per the Washington Post.

 

The big picture: It's the latest in a long-running feud that began after Pence resisted pressure from Trump and certified the 2020 election results.

 

Driving the news: Trump's latest comments were in response to Pence's remarks over the weekend that "history will hold" Trump "accountable" for the insurrection — marking the former vice president's sharpest rebuke yet on the matter.

More lunacy. Apart from MAGA diehards, virtually no one in the legal community believes that Pence had the legal authority to send the election count back to the states to decide.

Actually, this amounts to a confession from Trump that he was responsible for the Jan 6 riot. He had been told that there was no chance that Pence could legitimately reject the ballot count. Yet he openly demanded that Pence do just that thereby persuading the crowd that the certification of the vote was Pence's fault and inciting the attack.

If that's true, it is only more evidence that Trump shouldn't be the next POTUS, and needs to step aside so a Republican can win the big chair next year.

Trump step aside?

 

He will take the GOP down with him rather than step aside.

Infamous words from the orange buffon when told to step aside after explicit foul language video.

"I never withdraw. I've never withdrawn in my life". He doesn't play by any rule and a snowball chance in hell that he will step aside for party sake. It will be a bitter Republican Party primaries  like no one has ever seen. The party will probably will never be the same after this primaries.

I rarely agree with you, but on this I do.

At the moment, IMO, he is the most likely reason the Dems will keep the presidency next year.

I can only hope that he either doesn't get the financing needed or fails in the primaries.

For once I agree with you so far Imo it’s shaping up for a dem sweep in 2024 imo I don’t think trump will talk down the USA with him but he has done grevious injury to us and the world for that matter
