Chris Wallace: From Jack Smith Filing, Trump Said ‘So, What?’ When a Staffer Tells Him Pence Was ‘in Trouble’

‘Let the record know that there was a kind of a growl from the crowd’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: “January 6th of 1961, Richard Nixon was the vice president, had to preside over the counting the electoral votes in the House of Representatives. He counted the votes, he certified that John F. Kennedy had beaten him, he congratulated Kennedy who was in the House chamber and said, ‘There’s nothing that is a better statement about what our democracy is all about.’ Contrast that to January 6 of 2021, when your friend Donald Trump holds a rally on the Ellipse and says, ‘If we don’t fight like hell, we’re not going to have a country anymore.’ And as we now learn from the Jack Smith filing, when he’s in the dining room next to the Oval Office, and somebody rushes in and says, ‘Hey, Mike Pence is in trouble,’ he says, ‘So what?’ Ooh. That — let the record note that there was a kind of a growl from the crowd here in the Ed Sullivan Theater.”
