Donald Trump furiously claimed Tuesday night that Mike Pence can overturn the election result in Congress Wednesday - and denied the vice president had told him he could not.
The president issued a statement after the New York Times reported that Pence had told him over lunch that he had no constitutional power to 'decertify' states' slates of electors when he presides over Congress to certify the election result.
But Trump called that 'fake news' then outlined an extraordinary plan to either get Republican state legislatures to send Trump electors - or turn the election to Congress under the 12th Amendment, which could then vote for Trump.
ABC News' White House Correspondent Jon Karl reported that Trump was 'prepared to go after Pence and go after him hard' if he does not get in line and overturn the election at the special session of Congress which begins at 1pm Wednesday.
********************
So if Pence does not fall in line with Trump’s attempt at subversion today, Trump will go after Pence.
That should surprise no one.
My question to all those including Pence who sold their souls to Trump, made absolutely fools of themselves for Trump, then discarded like common garbage by Trump, was it worth it?
Was it worth it to have history look at you as not just losers, but losing spineless sycophants?
The list of people who sold their souls to Trump only to be humiliated and attacked by him are long and deep.
What did Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Brian Kemp, and Sean Spicer get for humiliating themselves, for instance?
Of course, Trump was never known to be loyal to anyone but himself. Even now it is Trump before Country and Constitution.
Cruz and Hawley will also find out that selling their souls to Trump will get them nothing.
Trump will not give a damn and the American people will eventually reject them as well.
Just more wreck and ruin for Trumpist losers.
