No HE did
Trump explains that January 6 was all Pence’s fault.
Donald Trump on Monday sharply rebuked Mike Pence’s assertion that history would hold him accountable for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, telling reporters that his former vice president should shoulder the blame for the violent riot that day by Trump’s supporters.
It was Billy who broke the lamp/ate the last cookie/spilled grape juice on the rug.
“Had he sent the votes back to the legislatures, they wouldn’t have had a problem with Jan. 6, so in many ways you can blame him for Jan. 6,” the former president said, referring to Pence’s refusal to reject the electoral college votes in Congress as Trump wanted him to do that day. “Had he sent them back to Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, the states, I believe, number one, you have had a different outcome. But I also believe you wouldn’t have had ‘Jan. 6’ as we call it.”
You would have had a successfully stolen election, is what he means. Those were the two options – a quietly stolen election, or a violent insurrection at the Capitol.
“Give it to Mikey! He hates everything!”
Seems apropos, somehow.
“If you’d just given in to my demands, I wouldn’t have had to shoot the hostage. So really, it’s your fault the hostage is dead.”
“…oh yeah, and he shat in my pants, too.”
@sackbut I hated life cereal growing up.
Grrr.
“If he hadn’t dodged the ball I threw, it never would’ve broken the lamp.”
Ah, yes, the abuser’s classic: “Look what you made me do!”
