Don Lemon on Mike Pence's oped

[Opti]

Pence made a series of wild claims about election security, including the outright lie that the 2020 election, which he and Donald Trump convincingly lost, was stained by “significant voting irregularities”.

It appears not even the genuine threat of being murdered by insurrectionists storming the US Capitol was enough to make Pence see sense. Many were shocked and disappointed that America’s least favourite homophobe would continue to peddle such blatant, proven mistruths – including CNN’s Don Lemon.

In a searing monologue, Lemon pointed out the obvious: “There were no significant voting irregularities people. Stop falling for this bullcrap.”

The CNN anchor cut to footage from the US Capitol of insurretionsists chanting: “Hang Mike Pence. Hang Mike Pence.”

“See the gallows?” He asked. “They wanted to hang you, Mike Pence.”

Lemon continued: “Do you care about power that much? I guess you do. Sorry, I shouldn’t even ask that question. I shouldn’t waste my time.

“All that and Mike Pence is still sucking up to his former boss? Have you not debased yourself enough for that man?”

Anyone else's sympathy for Mike Pence go to zero as well?

It's zero.  He's seeing another round of VP in his mind's eye.  That or president because Trump drops dead during his second term either due to age or poor health.

I shouldn't be the least bit surprised.   If it were me I'd have nothing to do with Trump. If he ever tried to call me would remind him of what happened and the only thing I ever want to see from his family again is an obit.

Clearly I am not meant to be a part of Trump's cult.

Doesn't surprise me in the least.

It was at zero from Nov. 2016. And no way would Trump invite him for round two when he has Ivanka, Jr., Hawley available. And based on the sycophancy of this ass kissing editorial my original feelings about this jerk have proven to be right on the money.

I suspect Mike Pence is helping the Republican party change voter laws OR to get loyalists into positions  who will happily cry "Voter fraud! And by the way I have the power to do something about it!"  when the Republican candidate doesn't win.

Keep everyone whipped up and angry about the 2020 election and then get those voters to "vote angry" and agree to limit/change who can and cannot vote. Even if it hurts them in the long run.

I'm pretty sure Pence is aware that there wasn't any voter fraud.

That leaves the Republicans to keep working on getting their loyalist of people in positions of power that CAN say there is voter fraud (and change an election outcome) OR they need to keep people who aren't going to vote Republican from voting.

They don't seem to have a platform other than the "thing to get angry about of the moment".
