He is right though, the nutjob base won't back Pence for any political office.

(CNN) As former Vice President Mike Pence weighs his future in politics -- laying the groundwork for a possible presidential campaign in 2024 and supporting Republican candidates who face reelection next fall -- former President Donald Trump said Pence is "mortally wounded" inside the GOP.

Video posted to social media shows Trump, who was speaking at a closed press event with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly over the weekend, telling a crowd that Pence "has been very badly hurt" by his commitment on January 6 to allow congressional certification of the 2020 election results.

"I was disappointed in one thing, but it was a big thing. Mike should have sent those crooked votes back to the legislatures and you would have had a different result in the election, in my opinion," the former President told an audience on Saturday as part of O'Reilly's "History Tour" in Sunrise, Florida.

Pence ultimately rejected pleas from Trump and his top allies to halt certification of Joe Biden's victory by the House and Senate in January, hours after he was forced to take shelter at a secure location inside the US Capitol while a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building -- with some chanting "Hang Mike Pence" as they breached security barriers.

Trump, on the other hand, will be tried for attempting to subvert the 2020 Presidential election.
