I just about puked every time someone in the committee insinuated Pence was or is "heroic". He's a little worm and if he could have gotten away with not certifying he would have.
My sense is the committee is blowing him up (saying nice things about him) because they want his cooperation nailing twump and others. In short the Democrats are "turning" him. Mike Pence is going to be the next (deep throat)
Pence isn't brave. Thank God his aides were. If Pence was brave HE would be in front of the committee testifying.

The testimony today was quite damning. These Republican lawyers who testified made Trump seem like a whiny, sniveling six year old.
I mean, what 70 year old adult says "I'm not gonna be your friend" if you don't let me play President some more.
These hearings are making the MAGA morons look like fucking fools for sucking Trump's Dick for five years.

Absolutely.
And Trump doesn't know what a "wimp" is. A "wimp" is someone who is so cartoonishly insecure that he can't admit defeat.

It was a planned coup. Trump knew he lost.
Well, I mean, not just a child but a mob boss in a child's body. twump literally tried to rub several people out, he used his Nazi buddies to do it.

Mike Pence is no hero. The Jan. 6 hearings should outline as ...
The Jan. 6 committee’s slate of hearings is less a chronological recounting of the events leading up to the attack on the Capitol and rather a series of discrete stories that make up a broader whole. On Thursday, the committee turns to the chapter starring former Vice President Mike Pence.
Pence, as the panel will discuss, was the subject of a weekslong pressure campaign from his boss, former President Donald Trump. The goal was as simple as it was illegal: have Pence discard the Electoral College votes from enough states to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In memos and meetings, tantrums and tweets, Pence was told that he not only had this power, but that he had to use it.
There were times when Pence wavered in the face of this effort. He reportedly called former Vice President Dan Quayle at one point, who was adamant that Pence had “no flexibility” on the matter. His top lawyer, Greg Jacob, argued in a memo that blocking or delaying the electoral vote count would be illegal and leave him “in an isolated standoff against both houses of Congress.”
On the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, Pence told Trump in no uncertain terms that he would not do as he was asked. Trump then berated him in person, at a rally at the Ellipse and later in a tweet that a Trump supporter with a megaphone would read out as his fellow insurrectionists ransacked the Capitol. When told that afternoon that the crowd was chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” Trump mused that maybe his supporters have “the right idea” since Pence “deserves it.”
