Two people familiar with the call told the New York Times that the President used one of his favorite phrases to try and convince Pence to help change the results of the 2020 US Election. He made the last-ditch attempt to push Pence into intervening on 6 January, shortly before he was to head to the Capitol: “you can either go down in history as a patriot, or you can go down in history as a p***y,” Trump reportedly said.
It was said that Mr. Pence did allegedly look into whether he had the power to intervene, however, his counsel explained that he did not. Trump later took a jab at him on Twitter saying,
“Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!” Trump wrote.
Now while Trump scolded Pence for not doing his bidding, it seems like the VP stood up for Trump in his final days. Since the Capitol riots, many have asked Mike Pence to pull the pin on Trump’s time as President. However, he has refused to do so.
