Chris Wallace: Pence Team Considered Trump’s Behavior During Capitol Attack to Be the ‘Ultimate Betrayal’

By Josh Feldman Feb 10th, 2021, 4:30 pm

With the Trump impeachment trial underway Wednesday, Fox News’ Chris Wallace described just how furious Mike Pence’s team was with Donald Trump over his actions the day of the Capitol riots.

Some of the footage shown at the trial has included people who were clearly riled up about Pence, after Trump publicly pressured him to reject the election results (which, again, he could not do).

Wallace recalled that Pence was “the most loyal soldier” to Trump and said, “Quite frankly, Mike Pence had to eat a lot… One time when he was about to do our show and Donald Trump was speaking from the White House the day that they brought down Baghdadi. And you could see there were things in the way the president conducted himself that clearly was not Mike Pence’s style. But he would swallow it and be the loyal soldier.”But all that loyalty meant nothing after he didn’t help Trump overturn the election.

And as Wallace explained, “That weekend, some members of the Pence team and called us up — and I know they called other people up around town… to make it clear, and this is how angry the Pence team was, that Donald Trump never called Mike Pence when he was in the bunker inside the Capitol to ask him if he was safe, to inquire about his safety, nor did he ever urge the people who were storming the capitol to stand down and not to go after Mike Pence.”

“They saw that as the ultimate betrayal.” Wallace bluntly described how they felt: “We did everything we could for four years to serve you, to stand by you. You asked us to do something that was a constitutional impossibility. And then you didn’t protect us when the mob came to literally try to find him and to, in the minds of some of them, to execute him.”

So it's all about Pence? Mr. Christian didn't care about the other politicians? He didn't care about the trampling of our Constitution? Did he care about anything other than himself?

Was a death sentence from his master. I bet he feels like a loser and a sucker now days. He has been hiding out because he is ashamed to show his face in public. I don't blame him.

And he realized that acquaintances who are willing to put him and his loved ones in mortal danger are not his friends.

A mere few days later Pence went back to the Oval Office to kiss Trumps ass. He, his wife and his daughter were in real harms way because of the direct action of Trump and he still went back to kiss his ass.

Fuck Mike Pence, he is like the eunuch’s in the old time palaces. Gelded so there is nothing to distract him from the love and adoration to Dear Leader. Fuck him for not protecting the United States, Fuck him for not protecting his family, what a piece of garbage.

“And you've bit me even, why?

You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die”

“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin

“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.

Boo hoo for mikey?
