Mike Pence just bailed on Donald Trump
Over the past few days it’s become clear that Donald Trump is desperate to get people to attend his farewell event tomorrow morning. How desperate? Anthony Scaramucci, who just spent the past year taking Trump down, says that even he received an invitation for some reason.
Now it turns out Trump can’t even get his longtime loyal flunky Mike Pence to attend the event. Nicolle Wallace just reported on MSNBC that Pence is declining to attend. We find it even more notable that Pence is making a point of announcing that he’s declining to attend, rather than just quietly being absent from it.
Mike Pence is surely only doing this for selfish reasons, and he deserves no points for it. But it’s a real sign of just how toxically radioactive Donald Trump has become that even his Vice President won’t show up to see him off. Meanwhile Pence has confirmed he’ll attend President Biden’s inauguration tomorrow.
