Trump attacks ‘Liddle’ Mike Pence: ex-president says he could have made others vice president and insists he ‘never said anything bad to him’

Former President Donald Trump slammed his former Vice President Mike Pence with an insult he once uttered against nemesis Adam Schiff, mocking him as “lidle” amid their clash over Trump’s demands for his role on Jan. 6.

Trump lashed out at Pence after a series of escalating remarks from his former VP, who said he had no authority to reject state-certified votes, and that no one is “above the constitution” — even while berating Trump for “going to” insane lawyers.

“I’ve never said anything bad or even the slightest bit inappropriate to Liddle” Mike Pence. What I did do was make him Vice President of the United States over the many people who wanted it. Infidelity in politics is alive and well. MAGA!!!’ Trump wrote.

Trump had also put in a light Saturday, even as his legal team deflected a legal request from Special Counsel Jack Smith after a federal judge warned him not to do anything to intimidate a would-be witness following his third indictment.

‘WOW, it’s finally here!’ Trump posted on Saturday. “Liddle” Mike Pence, a man who was about to be impeached as governor of Indiana until I came along and made him VP, has gone to the dark side.

Schiff was a key figure in Trump’s first impeachment trial.

Trump also specifically denied a statement from the indictment, about a phone call in which he allegedly told Pence, “You’re being too honest” on a New Year’s Day in 2020, while demanding he act and refusing to accept the votes that would see Joe Biden running for president. would make. on January 6.

“I never told a newly emboldened… Pence to put me above the constitution, or that Mike was being ‘too honest.’ He’s delusional and now he wants to show he’s a tough guy,” Trump wrote.

Trump’s new attack came after Pence, in comments on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” did not rule out witnessing prosecutors receive a grand jury indictment against Trump for obstruction and interference in an official administration dealing with his attempt to overthrow the elections.

Pence, who was praying before lunch during a stop at the Indiana State Fair, is not ruling out testifying for Trump’s prosecution in Washington, D.C.

Trump accused Pence of infidelity in a Monday post

The Republican presidential nominee, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, called Trump a “liar and a coward.” He was reportedly on Trump’s VP shortlist when Pence was considered

Pence told the network he had “no plans” to testify, using language that doesn’t preclude testimony. The latest indictment cites contemporaneous notes Pence kept through Jan. 6.

“But people can trust that we will obey the law, we will respond to the call of the law when it comes, and we will simply tell the truth,” Pence said.

Pence is trailing Trump in the polls, both nationally and in swing states, as both men want to be the Republican presidential nominee, but his testimony could be powerful evidence in the case.

Pence told Fox News last week, after he was conspicuously named in the Trump indictment.

“The American people deserve to know that President Trump and his advisers did not just ask me to pause. They asked me to withhold votes, to return votes, essentially to reverse the election,” he said.

If Trump had listened to “his bunch of idiot lawyers,” Pence predicted, “there would have been literal chaos.”

Trump’s comment about elevating Pence “above the many people who wanted it” is a reminder of his 2016 vice presidential selection process. Besides Pence, two other reported finalists were former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Gingrich has remained a Trump loyalist. Christie is running against him for the nomination, calling him a “liar and a coward” last month.
