Nice try, Mike Pence

Speaking up now doesn't make you a hero

According to the dictionary, the term courage means “strength in the face of pain or grief”.

A good example of courage is jogging the entire length of Lake Shore Drive in Chicago with shorts on when the high for the day is only three degrees.

That takes incredible courage to do, because as a black man that has spent his entire life in the South and hates cold weather with a passion, I look at people who do that shit as brave souls.

What is not a good example of courage is someone finally speaking out about someone doing them wrong after the fact, which brings us to one Michael Richard Pence.

The disgraced ex-governor of Indiana, who basically latched on to Trump like a paper clip to a magnet and became his running mate due to the fact that he was insanely unpopular in the Hoosier State, finally decided to break his silence about what happened on January 6th in an interview with ABC News.

That’s right, over a year after your former boss’ supporters tried to have you killed because you wouldn’t do his bidding, you finally speak out about how your former boss’ words endangered you, your family, and everyone who worked at the Capitol that day.

And while it’s nice that you’re speaking out Pence, let’s not forget that you have a memoir coming out detailing your error (not era) in the White House.

Let’s not forget that part.

Not to mention that it was Dan Quayle that convinced you to do the right thing, a guy who couldn’t spell potato.

You didn’t have the balls to stand on your own ten toes.

Let me be clear, Michael Richard Pence, you may think you did something by speaking out in an interview.

But you really didn’t do shit.
