During a question and answer campaign stop at a pizza restaurant, an Iowa voter asked Mike Pence.
“If it wasn’t for your vote, we would not have Joe Biden in the White House. Joe Biden shouldn’t be there. And all those wonderful things you and Trump were doing together would be continuing, and this country would be on the right path. Do you ever second-guess yourself? That was a constitutional right that you had to send those votes back to the states. It was not like you were going to personally elect him. We all know by the number of votes that were there who won that election. You changed history for this country.”
Mike Pence’s Answer.
“The Constitution affords no authority to the vice president or anyone else to reject votes or return votes to the states. It had never been done before. It should never be done in the future. I’m sorry, ma’am, but that’s actually what the Constitution says. No vice president in American history ever asserted the authority that you have been convinced that I had. I want to tell you, with all due respect — I’ve said it before, I say it right now — that President Trump was wrong about my authority that day, and he’s still wrong.”
Will the Trump maga voters ever learn? It's hard to do the research, but it can be done, especially if they request information from a constitutional lawyer or maybe even a librarian. Would it help if a definitive answer was presented in every newspaper, television station, social media outlet? Doubt it. If they don't believe Trump’s VP who will they believe?
