Mike Pence rebuked Donald Trump’s claims this week that, as vice president, he could’ve overturned the 2020 election, outright calling the twice impeached former President “wrong.” But for the hosts of “The View,” Pence’s words were 13 months too late.
“I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election. President Trump is wrong,” Pence said, while speaking to The Federalist Society on Friday. “I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone. And frankly, there is no idea more on American than the notion than any one person could choose the American President.”
