Mike Pence Planning to Attend Joe Biden’s Inauguration While Cowardly Trump Runs Off and Hides

Well, it looks like Mike Pence won’t get getting off Donald Trump’s shit list any time soon.

According to Politico, Pence plans to attend Joe Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration in a show of support for the peaceful transfer of power.

Sources close to the besieged vice president told Politico that Pence found the decision easy to make in the wake of President Trump’s public attacks against him after he refused to try and overturn Biden’s Electoral College victory.

“It was a much more difficult decision days ago, but less difficult now,” a person close to Pence told the publication.

Trump is expected to snub Biden’s presidential inauguration as he continues to claim the election was stolen from him.

Hundreds of the president’s supporters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday after attending a rally outside the White House where Trump gave a fiery speech in which he claimed the election was “rigged.” Many of the supporters were overheard chanting “Where is Mike Pence”, endangering the Vice President and his family, who were also in the Capitol.

Pence is reportedly furious with Trump for making him the target of the angry crowds.

In a since-deleted tweet at the height of the violent scene, Trump expressed his displeasure at Pence for not carrying out his wishes, writing that he “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”

As of now we don’t know what Trump is doing for the inauguration. Current rumors have him going to Scotland on January 19th.
