I am very disappointed and disturbed by Rep. Greg Pence and Sen. Mike Braun’s support of the false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

I voted in the 2020 election, but not for Pence. When the election was over and he was announced the winner, I did not run around telling everyone the election had been stolen. I accepted the results and hoped our elected officials would do the best job possible for all of us.

Can you imagine how angry and outraged our representatives would have been if their opponents had supported the idiotic efforts of conspiracy theorists who had lied and said the election was a fraud? How hypocritical of them to support those who said so about the presidential election.

They both have demonstrated poor leadership and an incapability to act with reason and fairness.

They should resign.
