Grim Reaper 6 Posted April 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2021 WASHINGTON (AP) — From a secure room in the Capitol on Jan. 6, as rioters pummeled police and vandalized the building, Vice President Mike Pence tried to assert control. In an urgent phone call to the acting defense secretary, he issued a startling demand. With Trump not engaged, it fell to Pentagon officials, a handful of senior White House aides, the leaders of Congress and the vice president holed up in a secure bunker to manage the chaos. Pence's call to Miller lasted only a minute. Pence said the Capitol was not secure and he asked military leaders for a deadline for securing the building, according to the document. By this point it had already been two hours since the mob overwhelmed Capitol Police unprepared for an insurrection. Rioters broke into the building, seized the Senate and paraded to the House. In their path, they left destruction and debris. Dozens of officers were wounded, some gravely. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/clear-the-capitol-pence-pleaded-timeline-of-riot-shows/ar-BB1fvq1a 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect in the future Pence my elaborate even more on the Trump White House, by writing a book on the subject. That's a book Inwill read, because no one knows more about the underhanded and illegal activities that went on for those fours years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatetopa Posted April 11, 2021 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Pence is writing a book of course but I am guessing you will not want to read it after you read the summary on the book jacket Manwon and bats. I think Pence still has some political ambitions. He may want to reclaim the religious right away from Cruz and Gaetz. I think it will be a soft and complimentary portrait of the administration and highlight Pence's steadfast faith, ,strength, and presidential qualities without throwing Trump under the bus. Just a guess of course. VP Pence had a perfect opportunity to tell it like it was on Jan. 6 and let it pass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will have to see. I may be at odds with Pence on just about everything, but he does seem to have some stout moral fiber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
