Why is Pence not speaking out after he was targeted by trump goons

[Beachnutt]

is he really such a coward as to not stand up for justice ?
These republicans are cowards that cannot be described.
loathsome bastards must be run out of office at the least.

6. I mean, it's not like he has a politcal career or anything.

He really has nothing to lose here. I don't really get it.

7. The price of loyalty to Trump...

Pence was loyal to Trump to a fault, really his dedicated lap dog. Now he has learned painfully that Trump will throw anyone under the bus, and it's really just a matter of time until he does. Trump seemingly didn't grasp that Pence had no constitutional authority to dismiss the results of the electoral college, and Trump like his followers has long inhabited a separate reality where facts don't much matter. Having sold his soul to a secular devil, Pence has been targeted by his angry and frustrated master, and fears his rampaging goons...

8. Well...

... he's probably following lawyers' advice. Say nothing. If he starts speaking out against Trump, he will become more of a target. He should have his spokesperson issue a statement, "Vice President Pence has decided nothing good will result from his speaking about his association with President Trump. He will spend the rest of his life in shameful silence."

9. Well,

A glass of 2% milk can hardly talk now.

10. He wants those same nut jobs to support him

I expect he has his eye on 2024.
