like him or hate him. agree or disagree....
that was someone showing leadership and command of the room
can you imagine the former vp addressing that group?
Look…I loved the speech. I thought it was terrific. The people in that room deserved every word he said.
But imagine how much more credible it would’ve been coming out of Mike Pence’s mouth.
The primary differences between 1/6 and the Romanian election were (1) they had the imprimatur of a court to annul the election, and (2) they were actually successful overturning it.
Granted, the courts confer the annulment full formal legitimacy. But, in reality, it seems obvious to me that they just didn’t like the results. From what I read about it, the allegation that Russian interference was dispositive in the results has about as much credence as the allegation that the 2016 election turned on Russian meddling. Which is…not much.
Anyway, Vance doesn’t have the moral authority to be making that speech. He forfeited that as soon as he demurred on the question of whether or not Biden fairly won the 2020 election.
