If the VP threw out electoral votes, there would be a revolution.
There would have been a constitutional crisis in America.
His comments confirm reports that Trump wanted the election to be stopped.
The first constitutional crisis since the founding of the republic would have been caused by the revocation of the 2020 election, according to a former judge.
"That declaration of Donald Trump as the next president would have launched America into what I believe would have been a revolution within a constitutional crisis in America which in my view would have been the first constitutional crisis since the founding of the Republic," he said.
He said he would have laid down his life for the Vice President to overturn the 2020 election.
He said that Donald Trump instigated a war on democracy.
He said that the former president and his allies and supporters lied to the nation and said that he had won the election.
Pence faced enormous pressure from Trump and his allies to stop Congress from certifying election results. "I don't have the authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not," said the vice president.
Trump and other Republicans have been accused of being involved in the January 6 insurrection. It was the greatest honor of his life to help the vice president in the days after the election.
The former appeals court judge was close to being nominated for the Supreme Court. Ted Cruz referred to him as being like a father to him. John was a legal adviser to Trump.
