Watch Presidential candidate Mike Pence backpedal and double-talk in an try to elucidate why “nobody is above the legislation,” whereas on the identical time insisting that Donald Trump is above the legislation.
At CNN’s City Corridor, Pence stated of the Division of Justice’s forthcoming potential indictment of Trump on a number of expenses, “Now greater than ever, we must be discovering methods we may really come collectively, and this sort of motion by the Division of Justice, I feel would solely gas additional division within the nation.” That is the ticket, Mike. Letting Trump off the hook is a positive option to unite the nation.
He then goes on to bizarrely say that America should show to the world that it’s “the image of justice on this planet,” by not bringing Trump to justice. “Indicting a former President in the US sends a horrible message to the world.”
The CNN moderator replied, “I simply wish to make clear, what you are saying is that in the event that they consider he dedicated against the law, they need to not go ahead with an indictment? You simply talked earlier than about committing to the rule of legislation.”
“Let me be clear that nobody’s above the legislation,” stated Pence, who sucked his tooth and went on an unclear tangent about how each he and Biden had categorised paperwork on the private residences. “However I’d simply hope that there could be a means for them to maneuver ahead with out the dramatic and drastic and divisive step of indicting a former President of the US. We have got to discover a option to transfer our nation ahead and restore confidence in equal therapy beneath the legislation on this nation.”
Nothing restores confidence in equal therapy beneath the legislation like refusing to indict somebody when the proof exhibits they dedicated a critical crime.
Ah, Mike, you’ll be able to all the time be counted on to guard the person who wished to see you hanged for not serving to him turn out to be the dictator of the US.
