Remember when, only days before certification, you told an audience of thousands at @TPUSA that you were going to "fight" all the fraudulent electors in the U.S. Senate?

Turning his attention to Pence, Kellogg didn’t hold back in his critique. He pointed out Pence’s passive approach to leadership and avoidance of confrontation. According to Kellogg, Pence’s leadership style, combined with an overreliance on failed political consultants, is unworthy of the presidency. Kellogg believes that Pence has been more focused on political maneuvering and maintaining his image rather than prioritizing the well-being of the American people.
Kellogg concluded his endorsement by reaffirming his support for President Trump’s unwavering dedication to the prosperity and security of the United States. He expressed his belief in the future that Trump envisions, a future that demands decisive and bold leadership.
This public spat between Pence and Trump stems from the 2020 election controversy and Trump’s suggestion that Pence could have intervened in the counting ceremony on January 6th. Pence, however, has maintained that he does not possess the constitutional power to reject or return votes to the states. While there is some discrepancy regarding Pence’s stance on the issue, it is clear that Kellogg believes Trump’s account of events.
It’s fascinating to witness the divisions among prominent Republicans as they navigate the aftermath of the 2020 election. Kellogg’s endorsement reveals the dissatisfaction with Pence’s leadership among those who crave a bold and unapologetic leader like Trump. It remains to be seen how this endorsement will impact the political landscape moving forward, but it certainly adds another layer of complexity to an already tumultuous situation.
