(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) After showing his true colors during a devastating interview with Tucker Carlson last month, Mike Pence on Tuesday was roundly condemned, shamed and mocked for his comments supporting the J6 indictment of Donald Trump.
“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States,” Pence wrote on Tuesday evening.
However, in a follow-up post, Pence admitted that he never even bothered to read the indictment, writing, “I will have more to say about the government’s case after reviewing the indictment. 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.”
Pence doubled-down on his positive view of the J6 indictment, claiming that his old boss was a distraction from Joe Biden’s destruction of America and Hunter Biden’s multiple scandals.
“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,” he wrote.
People on X — formerly known as Twitter — responded to the series of posts by criticizing Pence. “You are a disgusting traitor,” one user wrote. Hodgetwins, famous conservative bloggers, mocked Pence with an epic, wordless reply.

“Go home Mike, nobody wants you around anymore,” Tim Young wrote.
Others pointed to Pence’s eroding popularity, comparing it to Vivek Ramaswamy, an initially unknown 2024 presidential candidate who skyrocketed to third place by having a pro-American and Trump-sympathetic campaign.
“You’re a vile POS! Take your 30 pieces of silver and get lost. Nobody likes you. Even Vivek is kicking your ass in the polls,” one user wrote.
Kari Lake War Room also responded to Pence.
“You are one of history’s greatest cowards. Shame on you. Judas,” scolded Kari Lake’s War Room, while on his Truth Social account, Trump responded to Pence’s treacherous series of social media posts.
“I feel [bad] for Mike Pence, who is attracting no crowds, enthusiasm or loyalty from people who, as a member of the Trump Administration, should be loving him,” he wrote.
