Coming from Chris Wallace, no fan of Trump or Pence, the credibility of the report here can certainly be questioned. However, given the facts as we know them, how could an honorable man like Mike Pence not feel totally betrayed by a man he had been loyal to for four years? How could he not bitterly resent that while a crowd bayed for Pence’s blood on January 6th Donald Trump egged them on?
FNC: “Former Vice President Mike Pence feels ‘residual bitterness’ toward former President Donald Trump over his lack of concern for Pence’s safety during the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, ‘Fox News Sunday’ host Chris Wallace told ‘The Story’ on Wednesday. ‘That weekend [after the riot], some members of the Pence team called me up … to make it clear — this is how angry the Pence team was — that Donald Trump never called Mike Pence when he was in the bunker inside the Capitol, to ask him if he was safe, to inquire about his safety, nor did he ever urge the people who were storming the Capitol to stand down and not to go after Mike Pence.’ Pence, in his role as vice president, was presiding over a joint session of Congress when the Capitol was breached by a mob attempting to stop the certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory. Five people, including a Capitol Hill Police officer, died during the attack, which forced Pence and other lawmakers to flee the House and Senate chambers.”
The timestamp on security footage presented by impeachment managers shows Vice Pres. Pence being evacuated from the Senate chamber at 2:26:02 p.m.
Pres. Trump had tweeted an attack on Pence just two minutes earlier. https://t.co/nzNg7GZBsK pic.twitter.com/J7EOpc73P8

They felt they did “‘everything we could for four years to serve you, to stand by you,'” Wallace said. “‘You asked us to do something that was a constitutional impossibility, and then you didn’t protect us when the mob came to — literally to try to find him [Pence]’ and to, in the minds of some of them, to execute him.”

To execute him. The mob of lunatics outside and inside the capitol had literally erected a gallows, though a rather slipshod item as gallows go, to hang Pence and others who would not follow their deranged lead. What did Trump do? He told the mob they were “special” and that “we love you” while simultaneously insulting Pence over Twitter. That’s what loyalty to Trump gets you. It is a lesson for our times.

Pence has been exposed as a deep state operative!!!
chicken little, chicken little – trump is out to get me….. wahhhhh wahhhhh wahhhhh
Am from Indiana. Best that those of you think Pence is a deeply religious upstanding guy do some research on him and find out why Pence had to drop out of the first governors race he ran in. More importantly find out why Pence, in the last governors race in Indiana, was running far far behind. I didn't understand back then why Trump chose Pence to be his running mate and I still don't understand it to this day. Pence actually almost started a civil war here in Indiana with most of Indiana against the law Pence passed with the help of the three known, at that time, hate groups in charge. Rightious and upstanding!!??? Far from it! Disliked him then and more than dislike him now. Research it!!!!
The riot was not President Trump's fault!!! It was the fault of the democrats, who hired their thugs to come in (I am thinking they slipped some of them in through a back way to get into the Capitol!!!); Pence should be ticked at the Democrats; they created the entire ruckus, including they hateful words yelled about VP Pence!!! So, Mr. Pence, please, be made at the correct partie(s)!!! You may have some other reason to be mad at our President, but the Jan 6 riots would not be a reason. Look to the corrupt democrats for this one!!!
When I seen pence had received one of those cards at the Busch funeral I knew he was involved with the corrupt democrats also. No President Trump did not insight violence on Jan 6th, that was all democrats. Now they just want everyone to believe he did. The real impeachment should be for people like Maxine, Pelosi and others who publicly encouraged harm on Americans and their communities. Pence has had his loyalty to democrats not President Trump. We the people will not forget those who betrayed our President Trump ever. Even the RHINOS in Washington. It’s a shame to think democrats hate us so bad they are willing to destroy us. Their is still a silent majority in wings for 2022 election.
What a two faced politician. Just what Trump needs. He would be better off with AOC at least he would know the snake is in the henhouse.
