possible to prevent him from being hanged and killed in front of his daughter and his wife'

Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell in an interview with NPR called former Vice President Mike Pence's recent minimization of the January 6 Capitol attack a "disgrace" and "pathetic."

Gonell, who helped defend the US Capitol against a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump as a joint session of Congress met to count the country's electoral votes, spoke about the troubles he'd dealt with in the year since the attack. That includes ongoing therapy for his mental health, injuries that prevent him from raising his left arm, and emotional trauma.

Gonell, an Army veteran who served in Iraq, criticized the recent remarks by the former vice president, whom he helped defend that day.

Speaking recently with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Pence referred to the assault on the Capitol as "one tragic day in January," a description that the former vice president has used more than once.

1. Pence has destroyed his own credibility here

This is simply dumb. Dems should make a lot of noise about this.

Away?

3. He has disrespected those who shielded him from harm

He is a pathetic excuse for a human being. Is his “base” that deprived of decency?

4. What a spineless POS...

I don't know what he thinks he's going to gain by continuing to lick TFG's asshole. He certified the election results so TFG has absolutely no use for him. If TFG runs in 2024, Pence will absolutely, positively NOT be his running mate. If Pence runs on his own, he won't make it past the primaries. The deplorables still blame him for certifying, so they won't vote for him. And no one else will vote for him because, well... because Mike Pence.

Everyone hates this guy. Except for "mother". And his kids. Maybe.
