Trump Was Wrong

 I have no doubt that Trump was used by God to accomplish certain things.  But Trump’s pride reminds me of the story of Nebuchadnezzar and eating grass for 7 years as the Lord humbled him.  I believe that Pence shows more discernment and composure than Trump ever will, unless God decides to humble Trump.  I also would tend to believe anything Pence would say over anything Trump would say.  Pence could not have overturned the election. Trump probably knows he’s wrong but his pride would never allow him to admit it.  The Bible warns us all about pride and where it leads.

Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke forcefully on Friday about former President Donald Trump’s insistence that he could have overturned the results of the 2020 presidential election, describing Trump’s claim as “wrong,” the Associated Press reported.

Speaking to the Federalist Society conservative group in Florida, Pence made his most strident rebuke of Trump’s allegation to date, commenting on Trump’s attempt this week to convince his supporters that Pence could have acted differently to change the results of the election that President Joe Biden won.

“President Trump is wrong,” Pence said. “I had no right to overturn the election.”

In the past, Pence has only said that he and Trump will never see “eye to eye” on the events of January 6th.

Pence’s speech is seen by pundits as gearing up for a potential run for the 2024 presidential election, which would see him likely going head to head with Trump in the Republican primaries.

On Tuesday, Trump said in a statement that the January 6 committee should be investigating “why Mike Pence did not send back the votes for recertification or approval.”

On Sunday, Trump lashed out at Pence, claiming that the former vice president “could have overturned the Election!”

Follow up dated Feb 7;  Steve Bannon said his head was exploding because of Pence's cowardice in that he COULD have reverted the electors back to the states which is what Trump was demanding that he do.

But Pence has defended his actions and came out with a strong rebuff of the former president during remarks in Florida as he was addressing the Federalist Society.

“There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, that I possess unilateral authority to reject Electoral College votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election,” Pence said.

“But President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs the American people, and the American people alone. And frankly, there’s no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president,” he added, in a clip that was replayed by Bannon on his “War Room: Pandemic” podcast.

“Wow,” Bannon reacted. “That’s not what President Trump said. What President Trump said is you had the full right to revert back to the states.”

“Pence, you’re going to carry this thing, eventually, to your grave, Okay? Because it is a mark of shame, and you are a stone-cold coward,” he added, continuing to express his shock.

I guess we will have to follow this story as the Conservatives may well be in for a fight amongst themselves as to who is correct in this assumption, Pence or Trump.
