As more evidence emerges about the dangerous lengths some people in Trumpworld considered going in order to keep the former president in office last January, former Vice President Mike Pence looks more like a hero for resisting.

Everyone already knows that some of the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 were chanting for Pence’s execution, and everyone knows that Trump put untoward pressure on Pence to comply with Trump’s efforts to override Joe Biden’s legitimate victory. Everyone also knows that Pence rightly resisted Trump’s pressure and that he refused to leave the Capitol complex entirely when the incursion occurred, instead insisting that he must perform his constitutional duty as soon as the attackers were expelled.
