Mike Pence is responding to the recent indictment handed down by special counsel Jack Smith against former President Donald Trump.
The former vice-president and Indiana governor released a statement Tuesday, saying that anyone who “puts himself over the Constitution should never be President.”
“I will have more to say about the government’s case after reviewing the indictment,” Pence added. “The former president is entitled to the presumption of innocence but with this indictment, his candidacy means more talk about January 6th and more distractions. As Americans, his candidacy means less attention paid to Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies afflicting millions across the United States and to the pattern of corruption with Hunter.”
The indictment accuses Trump of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Special counsel Jack Smith says the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol was fueled by lies told by former President Trump. This marks the second time the Department of Justice has indicted Trump, the first coming in the case involving his handling of classified documents.

RINO Mike Pence, just go away already. The masses of people are not Interested in what words come out of your mouth. You will never be POTUS.
By putting his political career ahead of doing his Constitutional duty on January 6th, Judas Pence put himself above the Constitution and he should NEVER be President.
Go ahead Pence, cut your own throat. I love it when a stooge politician does himself in. By asking certain states to review their voting so an accurate count can be had for the Electoral College was your DUTY. And some of those states were asking for you to do so. Do not bother to ask me for my vote. it’s going to Trump even if he is in jail.
