Washington Vice President Mike Pence urged Senate Democrats to break ranks and"stand up against" the articles of impeachment in a Wall Street Journal op-ed comparing the Senate trial of President Donald Trump to President Andrew Johnson's impeachment trial in 1868.

"The question naturally arises: Who, among the Senate Democrats, will stand up to the passions of their party this time? Who will stand up against 'legislative mob rule' and for the rule of law? Who will be the 2020 Profile in Courage?" Pence wrote in the op-ed, published Thursday.A true profile in courage, he said,"would be a Senate Democrat willing to stand up and reject a partisan impeachment passed by the Democrat-controlled House.

PenceKnewImpeachHimToo

The sole 'enemy of the people in America',is Mitch McConnell bcz he's on National TV right now ' orchestrating asham trial to cover-up of trump's morally represensible tactice which violates the constitution'

This story book man also needs to go. IStandWithVirginia TrumpRussia ImpeachedForever

I would, provided Trump resigns.

Erectile Dysfunction Face!

GET RID OF TRUMP.

Has Pence flipped on his religion? Condoning lies, deceit, racism, adulterous conduct, stealing tax money, bearing false witness & complicit in murder? When will Pence stand up for the religious values he constantly claims he has? WWJD

Anderson cooper I understand why u hate this country we all know ur mom was a 2 bit hore but u can change I have faith in you

is VP mad that he was implicated in the president's crimes? 😆 maybe you shouldn't have participated in something that was illegal in the first fucking place bro. jesus would not approve.

Truth vs distortion . . .

What about USMCA, hit the bong again CNN and AT&T

Why would the Democraticsdo that.

The first thing I thought when reading this is this guy has a monumental case of chutzpah. The mere idea of the GOP asking anything from a Dem is absurd. 99% of the time they busy calling us traitors, or disloyal to our country for not liking Trump. Pence can go rub salt.

The oppressors do not always appear in the same mask. The masks cannot always be stripped off in the same way.

mr. Christian man, is found out to be just a bigger liar as Trump. You ain't going to get to heaven riding on them lies if you even really believe in heaven cuz Hell will be waiting

Pence- just go somewhere and pray for yourself, QUIETLY.

Pence should be quiet. He'll be on Nancy's sights next.

Hell no. They better not!!

You need to step down, you honor and praise Trump over God!

Can't anyone shut this fool up?

More evidence vp is not a smart guy.

I urge Pence to grow a pair

Republicans need to break ranks

You should be defending this nation . So spineless!

Mike Pence seems to think he carries weight with anyone other than bible thumpers and trump's lips. No Senate Democrat would DARE fight against the articles...and some republicans (those who are honest and intelligent) might even side WITH Democrats. Pence is DESPERATE. It shows!

ImpeachPence

Just looking after your own butt!

Exactly Break Ranks !!! Use your own brain and quit walking in Lock step w Fake narratives!

Hmmm, is Pence as guilty as trump

Ya. Good one VP . Did you ever consider that you have zero charisma? Meaning zero ability to influence anyone other than your mommy-wife. But good try, Trump-lackey. And don’t pee your pants, please, when Donnie finally comes after you.

I think Pence needs a little impeachment to go with his partner as he seems to agree with everything that trump did how much of that was he in on

What’s the matter Mike, you don’t want your bosses job?!

They won’t and you should go down with Trump and be impeached. You act so holy but then do really bad things and are helping with a coverup of the crime that you were involved in.

Lol bruh

Can you impeach a Vice President?

Bwhahahha haha. VP is a total imbecile

Ah flip yourself and resign also mr Christian!

Lol no

President Pence in the making

Lock him up!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Pence could be up for impeachment himself soon. Sounds like they are all in on it and that's why they are covering up for Trump, to hide their own complicity. ImpeachTrump ImpeachPence ImpeachBarr

And they will.

Lev wants to know why he isn’t invited over for dinner anymore Mike

How much are they willing to sacrifice for their damn religion? And what bible are they reading? It’s one thing to make an honest error, but will God truly keep forgiving consistent and significant conscious wrong doing?

VP

I had no idea Pence is a comedian. Little boy that he is afraid Trump gets kicked out and he'll be taking his place? He'll sitting in oval office with one finger in his mouth another finger up is butt.

You should get out while you can!!!!! You are another crook!

I would love impeachment and removal from office if I were him: it’s the only way he’ll have a job next year

Somebody doesn't want to go to jail

Pence scared he will get impeached like trump

Now that is funny

Pence why don’t you flip on the mob boss in the White House and live up to your oath of office.?

Hey Pence, why don't you show some balls and tell the truth on what the idiot POTUS did on the 'perfect' call and the abuse of the office? Grow one, man, and I'm sure your wife will appreciate it.

MrMother I’m dying to read your Op Ed. Not.

🤣

Democrats need to break ranks. Everyone knows the house Democrats did this impeachment crap only out of hate and envy.

Good for him.

VP hey mike why don’t you break rank and fight the ongoing lies and illegal acts by Trump. The growing evidence will implicate you and the sooner you distance yourself your future political career will survive. Once you stand up it will be a domino affect in GOP.

But why?

PenceKnew

This WeekVice presidentNeedsToShutTheHellUpAndGrowAPairOfBalls! He supposed to be a man of faith, he better learn about telling the truth and realizing he’s just one step into a pitfall into hell

Idk if I can even believe this tweet ? I mean it is cnn ?

Before the trial even begins, Pence urges the party he refuses to represent to defy the Constitution.

I love CNN news

😂

The reason they want everything buried on the Republican end is because they are all in some way, shape or form connected to breaking the law, so they are just as worried as Trump for the truth to come out. Maybe you shouldn't have covered for him...

When is he going to impeach?

Right back atcha. Scum bag or real American Mike?

Not going to happen

VOTE BLUE EVERYONE

He is asking them to abandon the truth like the rest of his clan?

Fat chance VP

Mike Pence have all the features of a bad guy

Pence has that wrong. It's the GOP that needs to break ranks, the incompetent in chief needs to be stopped BEFORE world war 3 starts NOT AFTER!

Written for an audience of one...

HA! I laugh at you.

jonfavs PreetBharara TIME DevinCow Did Pence miss the video of Lev Parnas with all the various members of the Trump team and family? If Pence was smart, he would just distance himself, and get ready to to become president.

Pence impeachment is next.

Because the ImpeachmentHoax is just as much of a joke as VP Pence is.

Shut TU

Because his butts in trouble

Also-Mr.Pence-you May have to decide where your priorities lie-God first or country-if you continue to defend his lies-I guess the order has changed

Fat chance of that

Um, no

He’s crazy, no way!

Seems pence name is surfacing. From Parnas notes

I don't know if anyone wants to jump on the crime chain at this time things are still coming out. well how much will you pay?

the only ones breaking ranks are fake democrats

Laughable

You can bring a liberal to water but they would rather die than drink.. your not dealing with a full deck of cards when it comes to liberals..

Jury pressure is legal?

Everyone should be weary of the Trojan horse....that’s who Pence is - a far worse individual and in the same league as the number one enemy of the state moscowmitch and the other nutjob Lindsey Graham- Thor’s them all out in Nov

mike, actually you should break rank and just stand up

Or maybe he could grow a pair and hold the president accountable.

This is worrying as it implies that he does not care what the impeachment is about or what the evidence says. CNN need to ask him about this

Pence is afraid of his own impeachment

This is what scared looks like

OMG did Pence find a piece of his conscience under the bed?

Shameful just shameful to even think like this

'Come join our crime family' is a weird way to govern in a democracy.

Andrew Jackson set blacks back and should have been impeached. Wrong story.

I urge you, VP, senatemajldr, GOP to break rank and stand for truth and our Constitution and our American values. What Trump* did was wrong. WitnessesAndDocuments Donald John Trump* was impeached on December 18, 2019 for the AbuseOfPower and ObstructionOfCongress.

Has to make a good show of supporting Trump.

Reminder: the GOP (Greedy Old Pricks) impeached Clinton for a BJ. Not treason, not constitutional violations, not violations of emoluments, a BJ!!

he needs to testify.

He should practice what he’s preaching.

Sleeze

I don’t think so

Tell your fellow Republicans to break rank and stand up for the truth, the people, and the Constitution instead of the crook!

What nerve, especially in lieu of the Giuliani crony that is all over the news saying trump was aware of EVERYTHING. What should happen is that republicans grow a pair, break ranks & stand up for impeachment

I agree

VP is in this up to his eye balls of course he is calling for back up.

Pence is stepping up to protect his complicit guilty ass.

But Democrats can’t stand up. They are sheep led by the 80-year old Pelosi.

Good call VP stand up against the people who have tried to remove him since precious Hillary got beat fair and square.

Do your Damned Job Mike and defend the GD constitution and not the President

I think there will be articles of impeachment on Pence.

Ok boomer.

VP is just as corrupt as any of them

The criminals know if there is a guilty verdict then all the rest of the presidents men are coming down too, including Pence who can be impeached after becoming president.

VP Do you think you can write an article to get Dems to join your CULT SORRY! Your OP-ed should be encouraging your own criminal party to straighten up and change course. Oh! Almost forgot you are GUILTY TOO! PenceKnew

How about both side present evidence on what Trump is accused of and listen the evidence then every member of the Senate should vote. If they do this Trump will be gone and the US can undo the damage he's caused.

Who the heck is Mike Pence?

Why doesn’t Pence ask the Republicans to demand witnesses who will tell the truth about what happened? Perhaps he is afraid to be implicated.

Really?

That Oath of Impartial means absolutely nothing...

Wow Pence is nervous. Why not call witnesses.

Terms; stop he broke the laws no one above law

Democrat Socialism VS Republican capitalism!!!!!! Did you support a failure ideology? ,Then GOP Capitalism is the only solution for America.

Trump 2020 and hello Fake news

Notice that he is not encouraging them to do their job to render impartial justice.

Pence is guilty as 45.

Pence wants democrats to come over to the dark side.

Hahahahahaha

When is Pence going to be impeached? He is part of this crime and has been named as such, right? Change the headline to read: 'When will Pence receive his impeachment papers?'.

Just hear ALL the witnesses, decide on the facts and be done with it. All of these people are so damn shady!!

You’re literally implicated in all this Mikey

This dude has plenty of nerves. He thinks the American people are stupid.

I bet. Because he’s guilty as hell.

Is he that stupid..

I feel like that's our line...

Hahaha haha

The Republicans will flip on you VP Pence! What did you know and when did you know it? Questions about president Zelensky’s inauguration and what he had to do for the visit

If Democrats continue they will fail in 2020

Awwww he doesn’t want to lose his job crook

Trying to save his own butt.

And we should trust a use Bible salesman

Is he talking about the articles for his daddy or the articles that might be coming his way?

All he had to tell them is “do you really want me to be president?”

He could have simply wrote, 'Please, please stop before you get to me.'

Bahaha

GOP=Gang of Putz’s

And what? Stop the Dem/Repub-choreographed theater production? Why that’d mean they might have to start addressing issues *real* ppl (not corporate “ppl”) want their [sic] rep’s to deal w/: perpetual war, DoD waste/graft, healthcare, stagnant wages, crap infrastructure, etc.

Really, would you follow someone like Pence into battle.

So the co-conspirator wants jurors to absolve the criminal. If he had a sense of honor, VP would resign.

like anyone gonna do what the elf on the shelf says, he hardly says anything, now that his name has come out hes talking more must be nervous mr religious but doesn't care if a woman's life is in danger

Because he’s in the jackpot too.

Shine a spotlight on Mr Pence please. We wouldn't want any of the vermin to wiggle out.

Who?

The President broke the law. He needs to be held accountable.

This idiot doesn’t realize he would become president if tRump is removed.

Your president broke the law and you don’t want to protect the American people.

Ha!

HE IS SCARED!

After tRump goes, you are next little pence!

he is the criminal running for his life.. impeach him

VP NO. We’re standing up against YOU and the GOP

Sure Mike we’ll drop the fight for democracy and get on the corruption train

CNN will be out-of-business next week!

Republicans should do the same

Lev has exposed him too! Crook

He's has been quite until now. Wonder what changed? Parnas maybe? Implicated maybe?

You know that you are next realDonaldTrump Mike_Pence

VP Pence is just another piece of garbage pawn in a bigger game. If he keeps committing crimes, too, he’ll be on the chopping block for impeachment next. What a wonderful history this administration is casting for America.

'Come to the dark side! Be as stupid and corrupt as us!'

THIS MF RIGHT HERE

Yeah cuz he’s implicated in the crimes 🙄

Pence, good man.

Mikey, Jesus (not the one in the white house) won't be none too pleased with you for idolise a man who lies and grabs pu****s

Is your next job comedian?

Why don’t Republican Senators respect the Constitution and uphold their oath?

Hypocrites from the house DEMs started this entire BS. Their clown show must come to an end. DEMs in the Senate stop this straight by party sham. It was Pelosi that said if this was not bipartisan it would not go forward. She lied.

The man has gone crazy 😱

this guy should also be impeached as he is up to his neck in this mess.

Pence is next

Pence lied about Flynn, now he’s lying about Ukraine. If he were really a man of God he’d be pushing the GOP to follow the truth and the constitution not an orange guy with little hands.

Go away liar

Sooo the Vice President is publicly asking people sworn in as jurors in a trial to not judge it impartially but politically. Literally one of the charges is obstruction, it's like threatening to kill someone if the don't clear their boss for murder...

😂😂😂😂😂This clowns in on it also.

Democrats do not have morals

Correction: Stand up against accountability.

Don’t be stupid

This must be a joke.

Good for him this is bull butter anyway

Senators you are free to think for yourself and to do what's right for the American people.

On the contrary it should be Republicans breaking the ranks to remove President Trump from office.

I, as a concerned citizen, urge all elected GOP to break ranks and oust Trump. The Constitution and the Oath you took means more than kissing Trumps Ads

LOL! I bet he did!!!! LOCK HIM UP!

He seems a little desperate.

Or what? The GOP needs to get there heads out of the sand.

The Republican Party has Gone Mad!

So much for his supposed 'Christian Values'. He is up to his ears in this scandal and still lies in support of Trump. Disgusting!

His sleeziness knows no bounds.

Good luck with that...

Is he mad , I can’t believe they are so corrupt that they have no respect to the oath they took to the constitution. It’s like they have all turn into Daleks from a different planet

Pence went to Ukraine just to shakedown Zelinsky.

Mike Pence should consider a deal with prosecutors to avoid prison time impeachpence

Hes getting nervous! Haven't heard from him in months. And he asks the Dems to cross over! Lol 😆 nope he's trying to save his ass!!

He’s a liar just like the whole administration. 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

This blasphemous, hypocritical, heathen, is so religious to his god; Trump. His minions have no problem swearing before god, as they also believe he’s god. If it weren’t so sickening, I’d laugh. RespectOurLawsAndCountry

This is akin to the Emperor in Star Wars asking you to come over to the Dark Side.

Your grey hair is ashamed of you

How do Americans understand the laws of the land. If a vice president can say that, & which amounts to circumventing the law ,then there's something very wrong with the judicial system in USA.

i.e. Pence is freaking out after LevSpeaks interview spills the beans about Pence's involvement. I hope all of you hoodlums get thrown out of office. Actually, you should all be thrown in jail. disgrace criminals

Why? Because now your name has been thrown out in the arena. Nope the Democratic party will not back down on impeachment.

I urge Pence in my op-ed to come out bravely from the closet, renounce his lord and savior (Trump), and reclaim his humanity.

The have no balls

VP why don’t you stand up against the mobster you work for? Pence used to mean: Christian, moral, principled. Now the name Pence means: lackey, hypocrite, collaborator, apologist. How far have you fallen

no

He speaks? Wow!

LOL 😂 😂😂😂😂

After taking an oath, if they do decide to just play by party lines, they’re subject to prosecution too. I hope they realize that. Plenty of former trump allies are currently in jail or dealing with the court system. Nancy knows what she’s doing.

sending him thoughts and prayers to wecanbeheros

Correction: Hail Mary Pass from Man Just Implicated in Assassination Plot . Start reporting this sh** with the importance it requires.

No shame these garbage people, no shame.

Mikey thinks he can convert them.

At this point looks he worries about his own ass since he knows he will be next

VP that’s hysterical 😭

Can I have whatever Jesus juice pence is on? It’s Friday and I got to get crunk early!

dream on traitor

This walking, talking anthropomorphic pair of khakis should worry about which of Trump's criminal minions will flip on him for a lighter sentence. PenceKnewImpeachHimToo

LMFAO!

Old Mikey Mike another dough boy looking sycophant 🎶🎶🎶🎶 ☢️DON VP

I wonder what he will do if it went in reverse. If some Republicans, unlikely I know, vote with Democrats

what would jesus do VP

Clinton network news be quiet.

Then he should hand over the documents that have been requested.

Pence be like
