Mike Pence blames the Lincoln Project for 1/6.

https://www.rawstory.com/mike-pence-lincoln-project/

As part of the book, Pence talks about an ad in which the Lincoln Project taunted Pence and Trump after the election.

"In a Dec. 5 call, the president for the first time mentioned challenging the election results in Congress," wrote Pence. 'By mid-December, the internet was filled with speculation about my role. An irresponsible TV ad by a group calling itself the Lincoln Project suggested that when I presided over the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress to count the electoral votes, it would prove that I knew ''it’s over,' and that by doing my constitutional duty, I would be 'putting the final nail in the coffin' of the president’s re-election."

Pence said that it was the "first time anyone implied I might be able to change the outcome. It was designed to annoy the president. It worked. During a December cabinet meeting, President Trump told me the ad 'looked bad for you.' I replied that it wasn’t true: I had fully supported the legal challenges to the election and would continue to do so."


Mike Pence gets smaller every time he opens his mouth.

He didn't do the right thing, he simply couldn't find a way to do the wrong thing no matter how hard he tried.

Trump and MAGAs talked their own kind into blaming Pence.

He only finished the vote counting because he knew he was nothing to maga but he didn't want anything to do with Democrats. He did what preserved his life, not thinking he was saving democracy in the mean time.

He is nothing, I hope he fades into the history as the coward, he really is.

Warning: spoiler ahead for the movie The Blair Witch Project







Pence and the rest of them keep acting like the guy standing in the corner near the end of the movie. What the hell are they so afraid of?

First of all didn't the Jan 6 committee already show proof that they GOP crazies were already talking about this idea well beforehand and maybe even before the election. Second the GOP was already talking about this idea before LP came out with the ad
