Former Vice President Mike Pence launched his most public attack against his ex-boss on social media Tuesday, saying Donald Trump’s latest indictment shows he should “never” be re-elected as Commander-in-Chief.
“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States,” Pence said.

On January 6th, Former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will.

We will restore a threshold of integrity and civility in public life so we can bring real solutions to the challenges plaguing our nation,” he concluded.
