Marc Short Reads an Email from Keith Kellogg on Jan. 6th Supporting Pence, Says ‘He’s on Trump’s Payroll’ These Days

EXCERPT:

SHORT: “Well, Wolf, I'm saddened to read that. I don't want to denigrate anybody who has served our country in uniform, in combat, like Keith has. But at the same time, I think Keith has just recently boasted that he nominated Mike Pence for the presidential Medal of Freedom, which I don't think is consistent with his comments of him lacking leadership skills. I also know there are a lot of young men and women on our staff who stood at their posts on January 6th. Unfortunately, Keith was not one of them. Keith was at the rally at the time the United States Secret Service had evacuated the vice president. The vice president's national security adviser was down on the rally encouraging people to march on the Capitol. So, he did not stand his post. And I did bring a receipt tonight because this is an email that I got from Keith on January 6th, in the evening of January 6th. In which he said, the president is up in the residence. I recommend you stay on the Hill and finish the Electoral College issue tonight. I responded, that's our plan. And he said, that's not a good plan, that's a great plan, close this thing out tonight. So, on January 6th, Keith was clearly supporting the vice president's actions. I know that he's still on Donald Trump's payroll and perhaps that's why he's saying something different today.”
