Trump's final words on Jan 6 to Mike Pence revealed

A new book claims that President Donald Trump called Vice President Mike Pence a "wimp" during their final phone call just hours before the Capitol riot occurred.

The interaction was documented by Pence in his personal notes, which are being published for the first time in an upcoming book by ABC News' Jonathan Karl titled Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign that Changed America.

The note was reportedly going to be used by Special Counsel Jack Smith against Trump if the president's Capitol riot case ever went to trial.

Trump allegedly wanted Pence to block then-incoming President Joe Biden’s certification as the winner of the 2020 election. When Pence refused, he reportedly told him that he would "go down as a wimp."

no one would have said an opposing word.

GOPers were that mad, Graham, Jim Jordan, and many more. Unfortunately, after two weeks they were back up trump's rear.
