All through his tenure as Vice-President, Mike Pence was the target of the wrath of the Democrats and the Democrat PR wing that masquerades as the news media.
Since the Democrats
devolved into inexorable lunacy targeting President Trump, the viciousness
towards Pence wasn’t as apparent.
But they despised
Pence, for myriad reasons.
The leading reason
being he was religious, conservative, and believed in traditional values.
Pence revealed that
he does not eat alone with a woman or attend an event where alcohol is served
unless his wife is present. A marriage is a personal contract between two
people, if Mike and his wife Karen have set themselves a few rules, it is
nobody else’s business.
Yet Pence was derided he
was called anachronistic and even misogynic by Democrats.
When a fly accidentally landed on Pence’s forehead during
the 2020 vice-presidential debate, the insect received all the attention while
Pence trouncing an incoherent Kamala Harris was ignored.
When Pence was
baselessly attacked by the cast of Hamilton, when there to watch the
famous musical, the Democrats applauded it.

They were appalled
when Pence stood by President Trump at public events. They were repulsed
whenever Pence led prayers in the White House alongside Trump.
He was called dangerous, hateful, bigoted, and
a variety of other pejorative epithets.
But that hatred seems
to be receding, some among the Democrats are even calling Pence a hero.
The following is a
key excerpt from an op-ed in The Washington
Post entitled “Mike Pence, stand-up guy”:
“Pence certainly
showed great courage when he insisted upon remaining at or near the Capitol
that day, especially considering that some members of the assembled rioters and
protesters were clearly keen on killing him. In preparation, the mob had
constructed wooden gallows featuring a noose intended for Pence’s neck. A video
shown during the hearing captured Trump supporters chanting “Hang Mike Pence!
Hang Mike Pence!”
The following is a
key excerpt from an
op-ed in the NYT entitled “We Should Thank Mike Pence for His Courage
on Jan. 6”:
“Mr. Pence refused to
leave the Capitol, instead staying to fulfill his duty to the Constitution, to
the law, and to us. Let us talk about courage and what it meant on that day,
and thank Mike Pence for what he did.”
CNN legal analyst
Jeffrey Toobin who was suspended from CNN for gratifying himself on a Zoom
call is back and is comparing Pence with Harrison Ford.
Toobin was referring to Ford’s US President who single-handedly took on terrorists in Air Force One or Ford’s Deputy Director of CIA who single-handedly took on corruption and abuse of power in Washington in Clear and Present Danger.
This was Toobin's way of calling Pence brave, tough and moral.
The Atlantic Magazine
said that Congress should honor
Mike Pence. by naming a building in Pence’s honor. Esquire
magazine agreed with that idea.
Even CNN
reluctantly joined in saying Pence “did his duty to the country”.
‘Republican’ Liz
Cheney too called Pence
a hero, obviously and so
did Democrat Jamie Raskin.
So what going on here?
We know that the
Democrats approve of only two kinds of Republicans
The first variety is
a dead Republican.
For the departed
Republicans such as George H. W. Bush or John McCain, they lavished copious
blandishments. But all these glowing tributes are an excuse to conclude that
‘those days are over, the GOP has now been hijacked by Trump and his extremist
MAGA wing’.
But if one revisits
the media coverage of Bush and McCain during their Presidential runs, against
Clinton and Obama, respectively, it was exceedingly partisan and
negative. Obviously, the viciousness was nowhere close to how they covered
Trump.
The second category
of Republicans that the Democrats are fond of are those who publically
attack Trump.
Mitt Romney, Liz
Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, George Will, Bill Kristol, Colin Powell, etc. receive
attention and praise for being Never Trumpers. However, in the Democrat world,
they are always second-class citizens. They may be invited occasionally to
galas and soirees, but they will always get the table in the corner that nobody
else wants.
The latest entrant in
the 2nd Class Citizen Club seems to be Mike Pence. This is
because he said "President Trump is wrong" and proceeded to
grandstand saying “The presidency belongs to the American people.
There is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could
choose the American president. Under the Constitution, I had no right to change
the outcome of our election.”
Does this wave of Pence fandom exist only because he went against Trump?
Not exactly, the WaPo
revealed their other
motives in their op-ed:
“Pence deserves broad
support to keep Trump away from the 2024 Republican ticket. It is almost enough
for Americans to register and vote in the Republican primary in 2024. Whatever
follows couldn’t be worse than another Trump presidency. “
The Democrats know
that Biden’s catastrophic lack of leadership has crippled America. There is 40-year
high inflation, surging
gas prices, and a supply chain crisis. The border is open which causes an
influx of migrants, human trafficking, and smuggling of illicit drugs. Biden’s
foreign policy is an unmitigated fiasco with the chaos in Afghanistan and
Ukraine.
The Democrats know
that irrespective of what they do, an emphatic shellacking during the mid-terms
in November is certain.
They also know that
Trump will win back the Presidency in 2024 perhaps in a landslide such that
rigging won't help. If Trump doesn’t run, the nominee is likely to be Ron
DeSantis. Both men are fearless in taking on the Democrats and uncompromising
in implementing their agenda.
The Democrats
probably think that if by some miracle they can keep Trump, DeSantis, and other
strong candidates away and have a GOP nominee such as Pence who is as plain as
vanilla ice cream, they do stand a chance of winning. Perhaps they replace
Biden and Harris with relatively younger and brighter candidates to increase
their chances.
These Democrats'
hopes will always remain dreams.
Mike Pence, has no
chance of becoming the GOP nominee in 2024. He never had much of a chance
before and his actions on January 6th, 2021, have
foreclosed the likelihood that his home address will ever be 1600, Pennsylvania
Avenue.
The Democrats know
this too, but they are using all they have to stop Trump.
The Democrats think
the sharpest and most lethal arrows in their quivers are the January 6th hearings
and other bogus investigations. Propping up Pence is like aiming an arrow that
may not travel too far and may not be sharp but there ‘no harm in trying’.
