Former VP Mike Pence Denounces Trump at Disney's Yacht Club

Former Vice President Mike Pence addressed a crowd of conservative attorneys Friday at the Florida Federalist Society’s annual meeting in Orlando. Attendees at the event, held at Disney’s Yacht Club resort, witnessed firsthand Pence denounce Donald Trump’s opinion that the former Vice President retained the authority to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

“I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election. President Trump is wrong,” Pence declared to the audience. I had no right to overturn the election... ”

Pence also characterized Trump's comments as un-American: “The presidency belongs to the American people, and the American people alone. And frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president.”

Trump slammed Pence ahead of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, for not having the “courage” to reject swing-state electors for then-President-elect Joe Biden.

Pence, 62, is believed to be considering a 2024 campaign for president, although Trump maintains majority approval in the party.

The former vice president was a target of the wild mob of Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol to disrupt certification of Biden’s victory in the Electoral College, with chants of “hang Mike Pence” being heard throughout the day at a gallows erected near the US Capitol.

In an email blast on Sunday, Trump reiterated his claim that “Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome... he could have overturned the Election!”

Though some in Friday's crowd walked out, most remained calm and respectful.
