Per a report by ABC News, Mike Pence was hardly a shining example of courage. In fact, he had been considering sitting out the electoral count. “Not feeling like I should attend the electoral count. Too many questions, too many doubts, too hurtful to my friend. Therefore, I’m not going to participate in the certification of election.” I’m glad he changed his mind and someone like Sen. Chuck Grassley didn’t preside instead. But can we please be consistent in standing up to authoritarian rule?
