Former Indiana governor and candidate for Republican nomination tells Fox News decision ‘should come as no surprise’

Mike Pence will not endorse for president Donald Trump, the man he served as vice-president for four years but whose supporters chanted for Pence to be hanged as they attacked Congress on January 6.

“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” the former Indiana governor and former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination told Fox News on Friday.

Asked why, given that he previously promised to endorse the eventual nominee, Pence mentioned 6 January 2021, the day a mob attacked Congress and Trump was reported to have told aides Pence “deserved” to be hanged for refusing to block certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.

He refused to comment on it before and got mocked for it. Why now?

it looks like all these people would be ruining their whole careers by doing some of these things, I wonder if a standardly randomized IQ test and public results shoud be a thing for US public servents

Let's ignore all the bias in IQ tests and how they are not a valid measure of intelligence.

This is based on the premise that these people aren't smart. The scary thing to realize is that they are very smart people. They are using that intelligence in a concerted effort to advance their agenda and power.

The republicans don’t want to hang on your every word like they used to, mike, and even then it was not the kind of hanging you’d like.
