Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday repeatedly invoked the Constitution and said it is what “binds us all together” after receiving the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.

Pence received the award for his refusal to go along with President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election. The award recognizes Pence “for putting his life and career on the line to ensure the constitutional transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6, 2021,” the JFK Library Foundation said.

Hey, hate is super edgy, but recognize this guy found his line and wouldn't cross it. He's still a theocrat and Lawful Evil, but give him that redeeming quality when it's there.

lmao. he didn't have the courage to speak out against trump publicly. he didn't have the courage to endorse Harris. he did what he was supposed to do and what any law abiding citizen would have done in his place.

Hey, maybe the world needs some people that lay low until they can have the most impact. I don't agree with the guy on most things, but I respect that he did the right thing here when he was under a ton of pressure to the opposite.

The 2036 Democratic National Convention is going to suck so bad. 90 year old Donald Trump, guest speaker, smiling and waving from his seat while everyone gives him a standing ovation for not liking President Rittenhouse

Honestly, if they had hanged him, we'd be a lot closer to the light at the end of the tunnel today.
