In case you thought you’ve heard it all, now comes news from the political world that Donald Trump is calling on Congress to investigate Mike Pence for failing to overturn the will of the voters and hand him the presidency in 2021.
Politics
Since losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, Donald Trump has been under the misguided assumption that the presidency is equivalent to a dictatorship and, constitution be damned, that he could make up the rules as he went along. So, with no real knowledge of how government actually works, Trump has spent the last year claiming that former vice-president Mike Pence could have (and should have) overturned the legitimate election results and hand-picked ‘The Donald’ for another 4 years.
Now, with no one inside government buying into Trump’s claims and reversing the election certification from January 6., 2021, Trump is demanding that Congress investigate Mike Pence to determine why he announced Joe Biden as the 2020 winner (SPOILER ALERT: Pence couldn’t select Trump or anyone he wanted. His role was merely ceremonial in order to announce the actual results from the 50 states).
In an irate statement on Tuesday from spokeswoman Liz Harrington, Trump attacked the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot and said the panel should be focusing on Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi instead of him.
“The Unselect Committee should be investigating why Nancy Pelosi did such a poor job of overseeing security and why Mike Pence did not send back the votes for recertification or approval, in that it has now been shown that he clearly had the right to do so!” Trump barked.
He added that “there would have been no ‘January 6’ as we know it” if Pence had simply refused to certify the Biden victory, and if Pelosi had increased security on the day of the Capitol riot to deal with his mob of supporters.

“I know I did my duty under the Constitution of the United States, but the president and I sat down in the days that followed that, we spoke about it, talked through it, we parted amicably.” – Mike Pence
The fact that Pence didn’t ignore the constitution and do Trump’s bidding has caused a deep divide between the 2 men. So, it should come as no surprise that Pence and Trump haven’t spoken in more than a year — when Trump’s MAGA mob hung a noose outside the US Capitol and threatened to “Hang Mike Pence” if they found him inside the Senate chamber.
In a surprise slap in the face to Trump for failing to understand the constitution and how our government works, Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California shut ‘The Donald’ down with an interesting twist over the weekend.
Appearing on CNN, Lofgren told Trump that if he seriously believes Vice-President Mike Pence had the power to certify whomever he wanted as president in 2021, then Vice President-Kamala Harris must have that same power to certify whomever she wants as president in 2025.
Not surprisingly, her remarks have rendered ‘The Donald’ and the Trump camp silent!
Arrogant, cynical-azz, Old, white male billionaire, LYING to himself and everybody else, in service to himself, because he views himself as somehow being “Superior” to ALL others, while living in his own world. Hmmm?
Now where have I heard of this happening before? Ooh yes. Right here in America.
But wait a minute, hold up. NFL…what’s that you say? Lol…Yes, I know. What Trump is doing ain’t about how you “good OLD boys” view/treat Black people. It’s about how you view/treat “lesser” whites too (in this case Mike Pence).
Ooops! My bad /sarc
