Mike Pence is running hard to be the Mitt Romney of 2024, the controlled opposition establishment Republican nominee who will run for president and lose gracefully. Or if he somehow wins, he will do the Left’s bidding, but in a restrained, ostensibly conservative way. The formerly genuine conservative Pence showed that again Saturday at the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where speakers usually keep things light. The famously stone-faced former veep may have been incapable of cracking jokes, but he sure went all-in on making his remarks as heavy as possible and signaling that he would happily carry water for the Left, repeating his claim that Trump endangered his life on Jan. 6 — even as the Left’s Jan. 6 narrative is in a full state of collapse.
According to a Sunday report in the New York Post, Pence told the Gridiron Club audience, “President Trump was wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day.” Pence has said this before, and it’s a strange thing for an alleged conservative to say, as it is a prime Leftist talking point. Trump criticized Pence for lacking “courage,” and Pence has repeatedly claimed that this put his life in danger. Yet Trump did not call for any violence against Pence. The Left has adopted as a consistent strategy the contention that any criticism of Leftists is tantamount to violence and results in their being inundated with death threats from right-wing yahoos.
Of course, this never works in the other direction: Leftist criticism of patriots is never violence and never results in threats. For Pence to say that Trump’s criticism endangered him is to parrot a Leftist talking point that is designed to shut down all criticism of the Left. It’s irresponsible and short-sighted for Pence to aid and abet the destruction of the freedom of speech.
Pence even went on to say, “And I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable.” Did Mike Pence read Das Kapital over the winter and become a true believer? It’s likewise a core Leftist talking point that history is trending in an inevitable and discernible direction, and that they’re on the right side of it. That’s why they call themselves “progressives.”
It’s unlikely that Mike Pence has actually become a Leftist, but he is certainly talking like one of their useful idiots. This is especially true in light of the fact that he went on to say, “But it was there, in that small office just off the Senate chamber, there was a small television set, and we watched what was unfolding outside — the mayhem and the rioting. You could hear it echoing outside and soon thereafter in the hallways.” This was just feeding the Jan. 6 mythology of a mob of violent, crazed MAGA protestors, stirred into a frenzy by Trump, storming the Capitol. Like the Jan. 6 Committee, Pence ignores the fact that Trump told protestors to proceed “peacefully and patriotically.”
It was also striking that he chose Saturday to say all this, after the nation was treated to startling new evidence, and a week of discussion of that evidence, of how the entire Jan. 6 “insurrection” narrative was a hoax, akin to the Russian Collusion farce. Is Pence going to claim next that he has inside knowledge that Trump was in cahoots with Putin?
His new remarks are jarring and tone-deaf, but Mike Pence actually made his choice long ago. Few recall today, especially Pence himself, what he said on Jan. 4, 2021: “I promise you, come this Wednesday, we’ll have our day in Congress. We’ll hear the objections. We’ll hear the evidence.” Yet just two days later, without explanation, he was singing a very different tune. And now this.
What Pence himself is getting out of all this remains unclear. Maybe he really does think that he can become the Republican establishment’s choice in 2024, and that a Pence/Cheney ticket could sweep him into the White House on Jan. 20, 2025. Given how the 2022 elections went, he could conceivably become the Republican candidate, although he has aroused almost no voter enthusiasm and would have to be imposed upon the electorate rather than chosen by it. If he does become the nominee, however, it’s virtually certain that he would just have been chosen to play the role of the Washington Generals facing the Democrats’ Harlem Globetrotters. From the sound of his recent statements, he would play this role eagerly.
On FOX News had interviewed a woman who is an American patriot women and was outside at the rally for a free and honest national election said that she saw a number of Capital police smiling and even waving the other patriots in the Federal Capital building.
She said that she had a gut feeling and it was a set up. That woman turned out to be right.
It was, indeed, a set up a despicable schemed leftist set up. In other words, it was a dirty double cross.
It was a planned entrapment of a very insidious loathsome lawless low sort.
It was an unconscionable arranged and sinisterly designed disingenuous unfair affront to all genuine justice law and order.
The ancient Roman statesman lawyer scholar and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero had very wisely wrote that “Law is built on justice; where there’s no justice there’s no law.”
To add to my above comment, Those smiling Capitol police officers who were smiling waving the patriots into the Federal building for that schemed set up.
Those insincere ,left -wing politically correct police are like the kind of characters in the song written and played on the radio in the early 1970’s which is entitled “Smiling faces.
Some of the lyrics to that song are “Don’t let them fool you, a smile is just a frown turned upside down- smiling faces tell lies.”
Two things already back up your comment.
¹ We were lied to from the start – knowingly lied to – that officer Sicknick was “bludgeoned” to death by a fire extinguisher.
Even I foolishly bought that bullshit at 1st. Then the compliant press could no longer contain the truth from us.
They used his stroke (the following day) to sell a lie that “conservatives kill cops too! – not just leftists!”
² It’s become abundantly clear the FBI has zero interest in finding the notorious “pipe bomber”; withholding the camera shot that views him/her far more clearly.
Never making him a focus during the Jan 6th circus.
Why?
Because he was another installment of that bullshit PR job when the left mailed all those fake pipe bombs to themselves . . . during the October “surprise” month in 2018 (the “bomber” was a registered Democrat).
THE money footage will be the panoramic views of the entire ellipsis – lending full context to a huge crowd lured into the ellipsis and being complacent as they had been all day & the day before (in spite of sporadic attacks from AntiFa pricks).
It’ll answer the critical question of WHO initiated the mayhem – the patriots or the cops?
It took the DC cops/attackers half an hour of besieging the patriots with tear gas, sting bombs, flash bangs, and rubber bullets, before they finally succeeded in getting them to enter the Capitol building. (They even opened doors for ’em. Mission accomplished.)
Pence was always a phony and a sleazebag. He has always caved under pressure, and is another horrible appointment by Trump.
A man of God no less. Screw him.
A “stitch up” as they would say in the UK 🙂
Police who are very similar to the KGB?
They are getting rid of older and wiser police officers and replacing them with young indoctrinated officers who will fight for the party.
So another question is, was the George Floyd hysteria a stitch up too.
Long-winded. Robert, ghost-write that 40th book…
Robert,
You’re no Bat Yeor or “Robert Prince.” However, you do contribute.

Trump should have been savvy enough by then not to fall into the trap. He somehow expected to be able to call in help to police the rally. Going in, this situation called for his highest level of cynicism.
What we need to know is, where in the world is Pence gonna get the financial backing, Beijing?
P.F.,
Psychologically and physically speaking, Pence sees himself as a littoral reincarnation of George Washington. He appears to have adopted his likesness and mannerisms. Let’s call this behavioral manifestation the George Washington Complex.
Ajax maybe.. Incitatus (Caligula’s horse) but not George.
Ajax, the foaming cleanser.
“Pence sees himself as a littoral reincarnation of George Washington.”
Does he think he can become the first president of the United States?
Maybe the guy is crazy.
With a funnel on his head, in period clothes, crossing the Delaware, it could at least be funny.
Ask any Koch you happen to see.
The advantage derived from Uniparty participation is longevity.
This isn’t exactly the same as the motive for becoming a vampire, but close enough.
The Republican establishment just might be stupid enough to back pence in ‘24, further solidifying my theory that they want to stay in the minority
Shithead McConnell seems to have comfort being in the minority. He spent serious figures to prop up super-RINO Lisa Murkowski (who never passes on a chance to vote woke) and undermine conservative candidates.
Two senators campaigned with zero help from McConnell in close races.
Only risk that McConnell takes is spilling his drink working the cocktail circuit. (Results in nasty falls sometimes.)
McConnell is married to ChiComm money.
The Uniparty is free of obligation to the peasantry.
McConnell doesn’t see himself as a minority, but a well choreographed dancer in sync with the progressives. In reality he gives the conservatives a hand job, nothing of real value.
Yes, Beware the Rino compromisers who go along with the left. They are deceivers too.
“That’s why they call themselves “progressives.”
Yes, they are progressing towards nothingness and want to bring everyone there with them.
“and that a Pence/Cheney ticket could sweep him into the White House on Jan. 20, 2025.”
Imagine, Pence VS Bidden in 2024…
There will always be the possibility of going into exile in Cuba.
Beautiful beaches. I’ll have to brush up on my basic Spanish.
From this performance of Pence and the news that John Kennedy and Chuck Grassley bemoaned the release of January 6 video evidence ( if it is true that these two did do that), I ask, how can we know who anyone in DC really is? And to whom they are beholden? Perhaps they’re all puppets on some string,Or actors reciting lines we like from time to time but not sincerely.
Why on earth would or could any even somewhat moral person NOT want the truth about the January 6th- as it has already been proven to have been a lie.? Why even take an outside chance of perpetuating a hoax like that? Why risk denying constitutional rights and committing cruel and unusual punishment to so many citizens? What measure of a man does that?
Pence a candidate for President? Pence is just wasting his time, and his donors’ money! In my opinion, the back-stabbing, two-faced, sell-out turn-coat could not be elected ‘dog catcher’! Someone needs to tell Pence, IT’S OVUUH!
Amen. Anyone who would give Pence money deserves to lose it, in my opinion.
The guy is a back stabbing disgrace. Never liked him, saw right through him on day one.
The sooner Pence gets in and gets out of the race the better. An abhorrent robot man.
And apparently, a traitor to his own country! What a rotten duplicitous piece of work!!!
There are moments like this that it is difficult for the mind to accept that Pence actually was the Vice-President under President Trump. It is as if my memory is trying to filter him out of the existence that I recall. But, of course, the moments flood back into reality to J6 and his betrayal of not only the President but the Nation, and all that occurred on that day because of the treachery of the Left and so many complicit weaklings like Pence. To think he once had my respect embarrasses me. I now have no idea who this man is. History may sort it out, although the likelihood seems rather dim considering the “academic propagandists” being produced by our “universities.” However, Mike Pence will not be remembered as being a noble character on that day for no one honors a traitor, no matter which side of history he tries to stand on. Please go somewhere and lay down Pence, your self-inflicted wound is terminal. You have no future-political history to write.
I also hold him mainly responsible for the Covid JAB debacle. If you remember the Covid Task Force was under him as VP. He allowed the CDC Director who was doing his job correctly, to be pushed out and not listened too. The most important task he ever had to do, in the history of his political career, he blotched and utterly failed, not just Pres Trump, but the American people.
I wish Mr. Pence could read your post. Poor Mike seems totally out of touch with reality.
As long as society tolerates and REWARDS weak character in men and women, we will engender more of it from the top down. It also is a blessing, enabling us to see the men, like Pence, who are wolves in sheep’s clothing. He is no George Washington.
The giants of our founding were men of their society and culture. The citizenry were of the same culture. It was permeated with protestant Christianity at all levels. There is no reason why this cannot be re-instituted. Even though wokeism has permeated our churches, this is nothing new. Tares always grow among the wheat. The arm of the Lord is not shortened, nor will His good purposes be thwarted.
I believe the pipe bombs were the original plan to create an emergency to scuttle the proposals to investigate fraud in the 2020 Presidential election. Plan B to entice the protesters turned out so well for them they went with that. Unfortunately for the uniparty they thought no one would see all the video afterwards, now you would be hard pressed to find a trusting soul that didn’t benefit. Fedsurrection will be in the lexicon of the American citizen from now on. Nothing can be done about McConnell until the end of his term in 2026 politically anyway. We can stop Pence from getting near a public sector job in the next 18 months! The republican party is a smoldering hulk at this point. It is not republicans versus democrats, it the DC uniparty and the rest of us.
What a pathetic little twat he is Whine Whine Whine
Yet in Pence’s twisted mind, I suspect he envisions himself in white robes, fearless hero,
brandishing his sword at President Trump who put his life in danger when there were dozens of
capitol police and secret service . . .
In reality, Pence is seriously wimpy.
I respect Mr. Spencer, but the assertion that the capitol riot was “mythology”…is mythology. It’s just as inaccurate and even foolish for conservatives to downplay what happened as it is for the left to call it an organized insurrection or to promulgate lies about what did happen. The fact is, there WAS a riot. It was huge, it was violent. People claiming to be conservatives — you know, the ones who are supposed to be on the side of law and order — were attacking police officers and destroying property and breaking into into the building. No officer should have fired a weapon, and Lt. Byrd should be held accountable, but Ashli Babbitt DID, in fact, smash her way through a window. That’s an act of violence, no matter how you slice it. And Pence is right: He was in no position to overthrow the results of the election, and Trump’s insistence that he do so was grossly out of line — not to mention the disgusting public remarks Trump made about Pence. No, Trump did not tell the crowd to riot…but in my opinion it was completely inappropriate as president of the United States for him to be calling on a mob to protest a peaceful election, and the fact that it quickly got out of hand is evidence enough that it was an absolutely irresponsible thing to do. Again, that’s my opinion, and we can disagree about that conclusion. But there is no room to disagree about the events that unfolded, and trying to pass it off as “mythology” is apologism of the worst kind.
The violence of the Democratic Party has generated anger. The Democratic Party has used intellectual terrorism for 4 years against pro-Trumps.
I’m not even talking about BLM violence.
This “Democratic” Party is clearly in destructive activity.
You are turning the problem around to try to put us to sleep.
As if this election had been the one and only factor of anger, which was there long before the election, among many pro-Trump.
For 4 years non-stop, “Democrats” have shit on the pro-Trump, slandered them from morning to night, defamed them, totally demonized them.
You want it to end like a Care Bears soap opera?
What world do you live in?
You must study, meditate on this question: was there any legitimacy in such an action?
This is the question that needs to be asked.
My answer is: yes.
There is plenty of room to disagree about the events that unfolded to include your characterizations. There is now a lot more video evidence as well. A small percentage of the assembled were overwrought in what they thought they could accomplish by their Antifa/BLM type demonstration. It is mythology to refer to their actions as an insurrection. If you want to call some of them rioters fine but from the videos most who entered did so hardly impeded and left upon feeling they made their point or out of embarrassment. It was unarmed un-organized pathos against what they strongly felt was a corrupted election and no available system of redress. They felt they were standing against “no-standing” and insisted on being heard – something they felt somehow would help. Your insinuation toward all the people who attended Trump’s speech as a mob is calumny.as is your characterization of his speech.
Dude, i believe you live in a mythological universe yourself, if you just cant see that the demoncrats made this event……..even planned it out as their ‘Reichstag fire’ against Trump………seeing as from day 1, when he entered office, they were calling for his impeachment……..and he had just started! They literally had 2 months to work on this horrific set-up, from the day Trump announced that he would host a rally, called ‘Stop the Steal’…….thats when they hatched their plan……to stop him! Who all entered the Capitol that day…….i think had been contacted by Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell……among many others, to totally paint Trump forever in a bad light, because he didnt want to play their globalist communist ball! To his credit! i believe the paramilitary wing of the democrat party was called out,and infiltrated the crowd, and those would be: Antifa; BLM; FEDs: and they paid extra, i believe to the DC police and Capitol police to stir the pot, as they say! And i have to take humbrage with your comment about Ashli Babbitt, to defend her honor………she was murdered in cold blood, by a police officer that did not give a warning……..which is extremely unusual! And you are more than wrong about her breaking the glass of the door………..that glass was broken by some of the infiltrators mentioned above! If you are being totally intellectually honest,, which you dont seem to be, the truth will win out in the end!
Mike Pence didn’t know he has Secret Service agents and the Capitol Police to protect his sorry hide?
He should have hidden under his desk with AOC.
Curious why my comment about people giving money to Pence lose it justly needs moderation.
Why would a comment about support of Pence being a waste need moderation?
Mike Pence is Judas. He betrayed the country, and our election, by betraying the President, and not fully allowing the states to come forward with the proof of a fraudulent election., especially from Arizona. The Rinos sided with the left in the cover ups too. He is the one who allowed the New World Reset oligarchs to take over the government.
Absolutely! Probably got the inside phone call from Klaus Schwab!
Follow the money. Whoever now funds Pence politically controls his message.
I will never vote for Benadict Arnold Pence
I find Mr. Pence boring……
Pence was for Trump what Bush was for Reagan. Globalists making sure the president didn’t get to Make America Great Again
Isn’t Pence part of the pedo ring. I personally cannot stomach the robot never have. He doesn’t look human weird almost demonic. Yea that’s it demonic guy.
Maybe he should hang that wreath of flowers around his neck and look like a total dweeb
