ormer President Donald Trump kicked off his four-city History Tour this past weekend by telling a Florida audience that his vice president, Mike Pence, lacked "the courage" to do what needed to do in January to contest the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia that Trump narrowly lost.
"Had he had the courage to do what Thomas Jefferson did, but a minor version..." said Trump, arguing Jefferson, as a founding father, in the 1800 elections, stopped the certification of the results in Georgia because of irregularities.
"I feel badly about Mike," Trump also said.
Those attending the Sunday evening event with Trump and ex-Fox News Channel opinion show host Bill O'Reilly also heard the former president discuss the possibility of a third run for high office in 2024.
