Thank you, Amanda Carpenter, for reading Pence's book so I don't have to. Your excellent summary clarifies once again that the root cause of January 6 was trump's Big Lie. Even Pence believed that wholesale election fraud was real, and that he simply lacked the power to do anything about it on electoral-vote-counting day. We should refrain from granting Pence superhero status. He did thwart the coup attempt on Jan. 6 just by doing his job. But he propagates the Big Lie to this day, and has done nothing to help hold the coup plotters accountable.
