Avalon - In the weeks leading up to Congress's January 6th certification of the electoral vote, Vice President Pence and his chief of staff repeatedly explained to Trump - "at least a dozen times, probably two dozen times," according to one official - that Pence did not have the authority to overturn the election results. But Trump continued to lie, up to the day of the insurrection, and even during the riot, that Pence had that power. Was Trump concerned about Pence's well-being during and after the attack? No. He never inquired. Further evidence of how dishonest and unethical Trump is.
