Mike Pence Comes Out As A Never Trumper

As many of you know, my piece “The Treachery of VP Mike Pence Explained” was published on Substack on February 1, and it went viral (300,000 page views and counting) far and wide. A friend called to tell me that the piece got picked up by many of the conservative newsletters and aggregators. If you wondered whether Team Pence would have to respond, the answer came when Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short suddenly climbed into the guest chair on Meet The Press on February 6th.

Now ask yourself: since when do Trump officials appear out of the blue to be interviewed deferentially by Chuck Todd on NBC? The answer to that question is: never. Not unless they’re really part of the anti-Trump brigade.

Sure enough, Short was there to explain the unexplainable: why was Mike Pence cooperating “significantly” with the Democrats’ January 6th witch-hunt? Well, because Mike Pence and the GOP establishment are just as anxious to prevent President Trump from running in the 2024 race as the Democrats are. Pence cannot be seen to be too cozy with Democrats, of course, so he must send Short to do his bidding.

And, trust me, Marc Short is cooperating with Democrats.
