Pence was traveling in Ohio Thursday, where he was doing a roundtable on oil and gas issues with Gov. Mike DeWine (R). But as a measure of support, he texted a Bible verse, Psalms 37:6, to Jacob shortly before the hearing began, an aide said: “He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.”…
Jacob testified that never once during the hours Pence was in danger did Trump call to inquire about his safety. Asked how Pence and his wife, Karen, reacted to Trump’s silence, Jacob said: “With frustration.”
Trump did not talk to Pence for five days, until Jared Kushner told Short that Trump would like to see Pence, The Post has reported.
Several people close to Pence said his anger died down over Trump’s actions that day, particularly after Trump showed regret privately in a meeting with Pence in the Oval Office a few days later and suggested they still be friends. But Pence’s anger at times has been rekindled in recent months as Trump has attacked him. The two have not spoken for about a year, aides said, and Pence does not have any plans to talk to Trump as he eyes a 2024 bid.
