Former Vice President Mike Pence should do some work with his, well, style, but before getting to that, let’s dispense with something he said today on ABC’s This Week that nobody should say, ever.
In a fascinating interview in which Pence, as is usual, said a lot of thoughtful things, he, unfortunately, began on the wrong note. It’s a note lots of people have sung in recent weeks, but it’s a note that is way off-key.“Well, first, let me say, I'm — I'm taken aback at the idea of indicting a former president of the United States.”
Here in the United States, nobody is or should be above the law, not even by unwritten rule. Imagine if a former president trying to return to power paid a kickback to a foreign agent. Of course, he should be charged and tried. Even if extra care is taken to ensure he isn’t tried for political motives, nobody in this country should believe power provides protection from equal justice.
They say he might be dependable on issues, competent, and committed to the Constitution. But they want to see something, well, relatable. How many times can he say that he will rely on the “judgment of history” or that he is “disappointed” in Trump’s behavior surrounding the Capitol riots before he sounds like either an automaton or maybe Star Trek’s emotionless Mr. Spock?
