“President Trump said I would have had the right to overturn the election result, but President Trump is wrong,” Mike Pence said.
The United States former vice president Mike Pence has denied the former president Donald Trumpin Pence’s claim that Pence could have overturned the outcome of the 2020 presidential election if he wished.
“President Trump said I would have had the right to overturn the election result, but President Trump is wrong,” Pence said of the Conservative Federalist Association at the conference.
“And frankly, there is no idea that is more non-American than the idea that one person could elect the president of the United States.”
In Florida Pence said Trump was wrong in saying he could have influenced the election result when it was confirmed in the Senate by the current president Joe Biden in January last year.
Pence has previously refuted Trump’s false claims about the annulment of the election result, but Friday’s output is the former vice president’s strongest controversy so far.
“[Republikaani]there are some in our party who believe that as chairman of the congressional session, I would have had the exclusive right to reject the votes of the electorate. ”
He said “under the constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of an election”.
“Also [nykyisellä varapresidentillä] Kamala Harrisilla there will be no right to change the election results in 2024 when we win them. ”
Outspoken a knockout on Trump’s claims could predict Pence’s possible presidential candidacy in the next presidential election in 2024, news agency AFP estimates.
In his speech, Pence also commented on the conquest of the Epiphany Capitol and the riot he called “the darkest day in history”. Five people died in the conquest and hundreds of people have been indicted.
Trump and his supporters have denied in many places the attempt by supporters of the former president in question to overturn the confirmation of the results of the presidential election. Instead, their accusing fingers have been mistakenly turned against, among other things, the Democratic Party.
Terrestrial Republican decision-makers launched a very exceptional attack on Friday against two well-known members of parliament in the House of Representatives.
In practice, the party is trying to clear its ranks Liz Cheneyn and Adam Kinzingerin, as these have publicly defied former President Trump. The party’s national committee passed a resolution on Friday urging Republicans to commit to no longer supporting Cheney and Kinzinger as members of the Republican Party.
