A number of GOP figures on Sunday said they backed former Vice President Mike Pence in his rebuke of former President Trump's claim that he had the authority to overturn the 2020 election results.

Pence made headlines on Friday when he broke from Trump in the clearest terms yet, saying the former president was "wrong" in believing he had the right to overturn the election when he oversaw the official count of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021. The former vice president called Trump's suggestion "un-American."

"I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs to the American people, and the American people alone," Pence said at a Federalist Society event on Friday.

Pence does not have Trump's back.

A few Republicans.

Most Republicans condone the mob violence and attempt to overthrow democracy on Jan. 6th. as their frequent attacks on Cheney demonstrate.

BTW, it took Pence over a year to speak out. He's a coward and traitor, too.

Wrong. He did it over a year ago:

Why would he need to speak out? Him not overruling and doing what Trump wanted was enough to know where he stands. He seems more the quiet mormon guy in the background.

It's very important for everyone to speak out against an attack on our democracy. To remain silent is to be complicit.

Well, there goes his shot at 2024.

There is no way that Trump will ever be president again. He probably won't even run because he doesn't want to face another stunning defeat.

Oh you're mistaken. I was talking about Mike Pence's chances being ruined. I suspect that Trump will make another go at it now that Biden is floundering and the Republicans are expected to win big in the midterms.
