So the RNC is backtracking on the "legitimate political discourse" comment they made in reference to the Jan.6 insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol by saying that they were referring to others who did not actively participate in the attack, which leaves the question of just what the RNC considers those rioters who actively participated in the break-in to be. It seems by their making a distinction between the active and non-active participants the RNC has unwittingly admitted that those who directly participated in the violence are insurrectionists after all.

What will they say Tomorrow?

BULLSHIT!

Don't let them off the hook for this. They blamed the Democratic Party for "defund the police" when it was never the party's official position.

It says a lot about today's "law and order" conservatives that the biggest reason they don't like Pence is that he put the highest law of the land and the peaceful and orderly transition of power ahead of his party.

What's amazing is that it's news that the former VP has to say stealing an election is wrong.
When did he grow balls?

Unless there's an indication of a general change in his political approach, I'd assume this is simply a case of saying what he thought was the right thing to say at that moment in time, rather like The Daily Telegraph criticising Trump for something and then returning to their regularly scheduled programming of Trump idolisation.

Lindsay Graham and others have done this before as well.

Mike Pence has the nerve to say something reasonable and the MAGAts lose their minds.
There are no more Republicans of any consequence who are not MAGA.
Due to their fervent desire for extremism, and for blood, there will never be a moment in our lives for "dialing it down".
This is why they hate Mike Pence, because Pence did not want to watch the country burn. Were as, they do.
