What About Pence?

Stefanik said Biden committed a crime while Pence made a mistake.

As expected, the Republicans show that they can't govern. They have neverending hypocrisy when it comes to investigations and accountability.

You know they're partisan when they refer to the Democratic Party as the pejorative "Democrat Party." 

You know they are partisan when they refuse to say President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris while referring the formers as the president and vice president.

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) faces more controversy but House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the Droopy Dog of Leadership refuses to boot him off committees and expel him from Congress.

Former Vice President Mike Pence had classified documents at his Indiana home, House Republican chair, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) quickly dismissed it as a "nothing burger."  

Stefanik pivoted to Hunter Biden and vowed to get more answers to why Biden had classified documents as then vice president. I smell that the Republicans are going to go after former president Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former FBI director James Comey and Biden official John Kerry. 

They will go after the FBI, Homeland Security, big tech and civil rights groups.

The do nothing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a frequent regular on Fox who is considering another run for president said is best about Republicans and Biden:

"Oh look, the Mike Pence story, it’s still early. You know, Mike Pence, as you noted he is a good friend, he’s a good man. He’s explained where these came from, what his office has put out is that in packing up the vice presidential offices that there were a couple of papers that were classified that were inadvertently put with non-classified materials. That was a mistake, but there’s no reason to think this was anything but inadvertent."

Pence had classified documents too.

Cruz added, "That is very different from what Joe Biden has done. Joe Biden has given zero explanation how these classified documents got there. And in particular, he has given no explanation as to how he has documents from his time in the Senate."

The Pence classified document revelation came just as Republicans in Congress were digging in on Biden, painting the president as careless and possibly jeopardizing sensitive information.

But similarities between how Pence and Biden each handled their respective cases, with lawyers quickly notifying the Justice Department and National Archives, could blunt some of those GOP attacks against the White House. 

Republicans won on the noise. They were screaming inflation, crime and border. It gave them a small majority.

So far, they have passed abortion bans, pushing for spending cuts to raise the debt ceiling, drafting impeachment for top Biden officials and banning transgender girls/women from playing women sports.

They can't govern, period.
