publicly blaming pence for not intervening in the 2020 election, trying to overturn those results, and so pence felt like he needed to get on the record and say, that is not something i am able to do. trump now responding in a statement, saying that pence, in fact, does and should have had the authority and gone ahead to intervene in the election, saying, i was right and everyone knows it. and while this was playing out between trump and pence, we had this remarkable vote at the rnc meeting in salt lake city to condemn and to rebuke these two lawmakers who now cannot get any official gop support. the rnc is now free to support primary challengers, for example, to liz cheney, who is running for re-election, and this resolution, yasmin, which was adopted on a voice vote with no debate actually described what happened on january 6th as legitimate political discourse.
