We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Presiding over a joint session of Congress, Pence was leading the certification of the 2020 election results, a constitutional duty that former President Donald Trump wanted him to abandon based on false claims that the race was stolen. The certification started around 1 p.m. on January 6.


Tim Giebels, Pence's lead security agent, asked the former vice president "twice" to evacuate the building, the book says. But Pence did not want to bow down to the rioters and flee the scene, according to the book.

"I'm not leaving the Capitol," he reportedly told Giebels.

Pence and his family then waited out the riot from an underground but undisclosed location inside the Capitol, the authors wrote. He was adamant that Congress finish its work that same night, the book says.

"We need to get back tonight," Pence reportedly told top lawmakers and defense officials on a call. "We can't let the world see that our process of confirming the next president can be delayed."

I'm impressed. Is this the part where the JPP RWers rush in with their torches and pitchforks, shouting "RINO! RINO!" ?

One sane person in the GOP.

About a hundred feet from where Babbitt was shot?
 
I would have loved that.

Trump will be in American history books for decades to come, but it will be in a negative light due to his damage to America.

Had Trump resigned a year after winning, he'd be a hero to both the Right and probably well over half of the Independents since Pence was a step toward sanity. This would have undoubtedly resulted in a major Republican win in 2020. Instead, we got nutjobs.

"The roughly one-third (34%) of the electorate who identified as independent or with another party divided their votes about evenly (43% Trump, 42% Clinton)."
