After four years of tongue-biting silence that critics say enabled the president’s worst instincts, the vice president would not yield to the pressure and name-calling from his boss.
Mr. Trump was enraged that Mr. Pence was refusing to try to overturn the election. In a series of meetings, the president had pressed relentlessly, alternately cajoling and browbeating him. Finally, just before Mr. Pence headed to the Capitol to oversee the electoral vote count last Wednesday, Mr. Trump called the vice president’s residence to push one last time.
“You can either go down in history as a patriot,” Mr. Trump told him, according to two people briefed on the conversation, “or you can go down in history as a pussy.”
The blowup between the nation’s two highest elected officials then played out in dramatic fashion as the president publicly excoriated the vice president at an incendiary rally and sent agitated supporters to the Capitol where they stormed the building — some of them chanting “Hang Mike Pence.”

Folks the hits just keep on coming.
I wonder if Pence will vote to impeach.
LMAO Did you ever stop to think that maybe Pence did exactly what he was supposed to do?? I did. Pence has a part to play and has already started.
Stay tuned.
It would be hard when a draft dodger tries to question your patriotism.
Biden was a draft dodger. Ask him.
When he starts questioning Pence's patriotism, I will.
As I said. Pence had a part to play and that's just what he did. Stay tuned. LOL
