Trump Attacks Mike Pence in Possible Bond Release Violation
Former Vice President Mike Pence is a witness in Trump’s January 6th case. Despite the terms of his bond release barring Trump from attacking witnesses, Trump shared an election denier themed post on Truth Social Tuesday night attacking Pence.
The meme Trump shared from “FruitSnacks,” one of his favorite Truth Social accounts, has a picture of Nancy Pelosi with devil horns, President Joe Biden with a “guilty” stamp on his forehead, and Mike Pence with a giant fly on his head. The caption reads, “Questioning election results is not a threat to democracy, but stealing an election is.”
This is a reference to Trump’s January 6th case. Trump is painting Pence as his political opponent and signaling to his MAGA base that Pence is the enemy.
Trump has attacked Pence before for not going along with his plan to subvert to will of voters and cling onto power through a false electoral coup scheme after losing the 2020 election.
Trump continues to test his release terms and his gag orders. Pence is not only a witness in the January 6th case he is also a witness in Trump’s Georgia RICO case. It will be up to prosecutors and judges to determine if Trump will be held accountable for this.
