In Bad Taste, Mike Pence Capitalizes On Trump Indictments

After years of backstabbing former President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence has finally found a way to make money from his boss's misfortunes. 

Pence's 2024 presidential campaign recently unveiled new merchandise, including T-shirts and hats that read "Too honest." 

"Too honest" was taken from a quote found in the January 6 indictment that Trump reportedly said of Pence after finding out that he opposed the lawsuit seeking a ruling on the vice president's authority to reject electoral votes.

On January 1, 2021— just days before the Capitol Hill protests— Trump reportedly called Pence to notify him that law enforcement had discovered evidence of illegal activity regarding the election. According to Pence's notes, he said that Trump said the "Justice Department [was] finding major infractions," which Smith calls false. 

The indictment continued noting that according to Pence, Trump discussed a lawsuit filed by Republicans that asked a judge to declare the vice president had "exclusive authority and sole discretion to decide which electoral votes should count." However, Pence stressed to his boss "that I didn't believe I possessed that power under the Constitution." 

"You're too honest," Trump replied, according to the indictment. 

In the past, Pence has chosen to throw Trump under the bus rather than support him through these troubling times. 

Just this week, the former VP criticized Trump's "reckless assertion" that a vice president had the power to overturn election results, adding that he was surrounded by "a group of crackpot lawyers who kept telling him what his itching ears wanted to hear."

Pence is navigating a difficult path to secure the 2024 GOP nominee. He currently sits well below Trump in the polls, pulling polling results still in the single digits. 

Despite being confident he will qualify for the debate stage in a few short weeks, Pence still needs to catch up to the threshold of meeting the requirements.
