Pence: I will not testify before Jan. 6 committee
Former Vice President says Congress "has no right to my testimony" of Capitol riots and will therefore not voluntarily cooperate with Jan. 6 committee.

Former US Vice President Mike Pence said on Wednesday he would not testify before the House of Representatives panel probing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, saying Congress "has no right to my testimony."

In an interview with CBS News, as quoted by Reuters, Pence said it would establish a "terrible precedent for the Congress to summon a vice president of the United States to speak about deliberations that took place at the White House."

Pence has written about the events of January 6, 2021, in a book released on Tuesday, and several of his former staffers have provided testimony to the committee. He told CBS News, however, he would not cooperate voluntarily.

The Jan 6 Committee will die next January anyway.

When I lived in Indianapolis and Pence was in the House, I thought he was a true conservative, but it became obvious he was less than “upstanding” as a few years passed. The day he refused to uphold the rights of a local pizzeria to not cater a gay “wedding”, was when he began to show his true colors, at least publicly.
Reports are that Ronna McDaniel and the RNC cabal forced Trump to have him as VP as a “control measure” when they realized they couldn’t prevent Trump from getting the nomination or face the wrath of the people who wanted him.
It’s just more of the same old sleazy shenanigans of our broken and evil gubmint.

I don't dislike Pence as much as some (not on this board, just seems like there is a lot of general dislike for him and I get why) but I do not wish to see him in any type of political position again.

Gutless, cowardly stand, when it will not matter and make no difference. No surprise.

If that's true about the Pizzeria, then shame on him. That's disgusting.

He claims to be Christian so he should have stood against catering a gay wedding.

An empty sack.

Pence reminds me of Jimmy Carter. Jimmy was a nice guy who lacked brains and leadership qualities. Jimmy was never fit to be President. Mike also appears to lack brains and leadership qualities. He seems like a nice guy. He'd make a horrible President.

He has already said enough to help the anti-Trump crowd. Just doing his part I guess. I used to respect him so much for his Christian stance but he seems to have made a pretty big turnaround IMO.
For some reason, I think the democrats will use the same tactics they used in the Republican primaries and will throw money and support behind Pence to get the nomination. Not because they think he would be a good president, but because he isn't Trump or DeSantis. JMO though.

First of all, personally I see Pence now as just another RINO, and quite possibly a Christian In Name Only too ~ he left the RCC, professed to being a Christian, then returned to the RCC. My first thought when reading the headline of this post was he's saying this to try and smooth things over with Trump supporters because he's thinking about running for POTUS himself in 2024. He probably believes there's no way Trump will get the nomination. Especially if Ronna McDaniel keeps her word after Bumbling Joe was declared POTUS in 2020, that Trump would never get the POTUS nomination again, and knowing what a RINO McDaniel is ~ just like her Uncle Mitt ~ I'm sure she'd do everything possible to help a RINO like Pence get the nomination. If Pence is the GOP nominee for POTUS in 2024, first of all he's going to lose big time, and secondly, I'll be helping him to lose because I won't be voting. Personally, after experiencing voting for two RINOs, McCain and Romney, there's no difference in voting for a RINO than voting for a Demonrat, so voting is pointless to me. Besides, the Demonrats always seem to win when a RINO is put forth as the candidate. Also, Pence doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the literal evil the Demonrats will unleash on him or any other GOP candidate.

It’s true, and was just after we moved to TN in 2010. That was when I was BRIEFLY on Facebook, and I posted my disappointment with him on his page. No response, but his page was full of people expressing their disgust. He never relented, and friends I still have there said the restaurant was sold. There is a LOT more to his history according to local, and it’s not pretty.
