Trump 'Accidentally Told The Truth' About Inciting Capitol Riots To Intimidate Mike Pence

Former Governor for New Jersey Chris Christie has said that Donald Trump 'accidentally' told the truth about wanting to overturn the election.

Christie went on to say that while the former president is 'trying to do a clean-up on aisle one' by issuing the statement, 'he actually told the truth by accident. He wanted the election to be overturned'.

In the same interview, Christie supported Pence's certification of the election, saying: 'I think that the action the vice president took on January 6 spoke loudly, and I'm glad he's finally put words to it. I don't know why it took him so long, but I'm glad that he did'.

While Pence had a congressional duty as vice president to certify the election, he did not have the power to overturn it.

'President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone', he added.

Pence's former chief of staff Marc Short also weighed in on the matter, explaining 'the president had many bad advisors who were basically snake-oil salesmen giving him really random and novel ideas as what the vice president could do'.

Pence first spoke out about the incident and his certification of the election in November 2021.

Of the result, he said: 'Psalm 15 says he keeps his oath even when it hurts'.
