As special counsel Jack Smith’s latest indictment reminded the public, then-Vice President Mike Pence was in serious danger during the Jan. 6 attack, and it was his boss that put him in harm’s way. Donald Trump pressured Pence to participate in an indefensible and undemocratic scheme before the assault on the Capitol, and the then-president made matters worse during the violence.
And still hardliner rush to his defense and that is indefensible. Ignoring the fact he is a narcissist, racist misogynistic he is a threat to that sliver of democracy that remains.
