.MaddowBlog: After the 2020 election, fmr. VP Pence was prepared to do the wrong thing. He just couldn't find a credible way to pull it off.
that haven't previously been reported about just how eager the then-vice president was to do the wrong thing. As the Post reported yesterday:
Quayle, fortunately, made clear to his ally that he had no choice in how to approach his responsibilities."Mike, you have no flexibility on this," Quayle told Pence."None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away," he said. As the world saw in January, the then-vice president ultimately played by the rules, a day after telling Trump in the Oval Office that his role was to simply"open the envelopes" as the Senate certified the results of the election., apparently referring to his coup scheme. He later told Pence,"You've betrayed us. I made you. You were nothing."
Or put another way, Pence was prepared to do the wrong thing; he just couldn't find a credible way to pull it off. Far from the image of a heroic figure who valiantly put the integrity of our political system above all, Pence grudgingly did his duty after concluding he didn't have a choice.
