Pence support for election deniers raises question of where GOP stands on 2020 liesAs he lines up a possible bid for the White House in 2024, former Vice President Mike Pence is campaigning with the strangest of political bedfellows, throwing his name and his money behind candidates who supported the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection that put the Indiana Republicans life in danger.
On Wednesday, Pence raised money for a former aide now running for Indianas secretary of state, who called the 2020 election a scam. On Thursday, Pence will headline a fundraiser for one of the fake electors enlisted by Donald Trump and his allies in Georgia. And Pence has recently given his endorsement to top Republican candidates in New Hampshire and Arizona, despite their prior support for Trumps 2020 election lie.
To Pences critics, the former vice president is stunningly craven to flirt with an issue that almost got him killed on Jan. 6. But to his supporters, the longtime Republican is deftly navigating the reality of the current Republican Party, split between multiple factions, and keeping the party from going completely off the rails.
Asked by CBS News earlier in October if Pence was supporting candidates who denied the 2020 election results, longtime Pence adviser Marc Short replied, I guess that depends on your definition of denying the election results.

Hes dead in the water. No shot.
His wife drew the curtains to make sure the mob (Id guess 8 to 10 feet below them) just outside the window didnt see him. He refused to get in the car.
