Former President Donald Trump went on a Truth Social tirade on Tuesday, once again claiming Mike Pence had a “choice” in whether he certified the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump’s latest echo of this declaration appeared to be sparked by an op-ed from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in which he endorsed the Electoral Count Reform Act.
Trump linked to Paul’s op-ed, published in the Louisville Courier-Journal, in his lengthy thread, which started off with him insisting he does not care “whether they change the Electoral Count Act or not.”
“I don’t care whether they change The Electoral Count Act or not, probably better to leave it the way it is so that it can be adjusted in case of Fraud, but what I don’t like are the lies and ‘disinformation’ put out by the Democrats and RINOS. They said the Vice President has ‘absolutely no choice,’ it was carved in ‘steel,’ but if he has no choice, why are they changing the law saying he has no choice?” the former president posted.
