How do you know that it was not POTUS that said it first and Pence repeated before POTUS could say it in public?
Not convinced at all Pence is a White Hat. If you watched his speeches when Trump wasnt there, I got a bad feeling. When they did either 4th of July 2020 or other, Pence did a speech at that Fort before the President and First Lady arrived (it was planned), but that speech gave me the heebee jeebees! Watch that speech and tell me what you think. I cant find it.
His constant act of loyalty and humility was nauseating to me, after a while. I thought it honorable at first but he kept it up and I didn’t believe it any longer.
