Is Vice President Mike Pence trying to pull off a “House of Cards”-style scheme to undermine Trump and increase his own chances of assuming the presidency?
Apparently, more than a few journalists believe that might be the case. According to the Huffington Post, some believe that the use of a single word – “lodestar” – is a crucial tell pointing toward Pence as the op-ed’s author. During the op-ed’s final paragraphs the mystery author refers to John McCain as “a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue.”
Senator John McCain put it best in his farewell letter. All Americans should heed his words and break free of the tribalism trap, with the high aim of uniting through our shared values and love of this great nation.
We may no longer have Senator McCain. But we will always have his example – a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue. Mr. Trump may fear such honorable men, but we should revere them.
There is a quiet resistance within the administration of people choosing to put country first. But the real difference will be made by everyday citizens rising above politics, reaching across the aisle and resolving to shed the labels in favor of a single one: Americans.
Pence has, of course, categorically denied these allegations and affirmed his loyalty to the president.
Still, one video circulating on twitter shows Pence using the word in eight different speeches dating back to 2001, when he was a Congressman from Indiana.
