Pence knew he wasn't going to do jack shit about rejecting electoral votes, yet he let it seem like he was. Then he decides to release a statement effectively saying "psych!" right before objections were going to be made triggering the rush into the capitol.
This gave the excuse for some not to object and for them to vote no on hearing and having the debates on the objections where the actual data could actually heard by the general public instead of the propaganda.
Also Pence should have known people would be pissed and made sure they had the appropriate security. The mayor made a dumbass or malicious decision to keep it light.
Yet Trump is blamed and Pence is the new hero to the establishment so wont get hounded.
Everyone on the right should be screaming about this and demanding answers.
I still have hope that he's in on Trump's plan.
