Former White House advisor Peter Navarro says Mike Pence hung up on him as he was pitching a plan to steal the 2020 election

'...he'd have Mike call me. Which Mike, in fact, did. The only problem was he hung up before he even spoke to me.'

arguing that Pence, in his ceremonial role overseeing the electoral count, had the legal authority to unilaterally reject states' certified slates of electoral votes.Navarro blamed Pence's former chief of staff Marc Short and his former chief counsel Gregory Jacob for foiling the plan.

The morning of January 6, Pence published some of Jacob's analysis in a memo to members of Congress, explaining that while he would allow members of Congress to raise objections to electoral votes, he did not have the power to reverse the election outcome. "I'd love to know how that violence erupted. I'm telling you I was one of the most crestfallen people on the planet at the end, when that happened, because I knew immediately: This won't end the way we wanted it to," Navarro told Rolling Stone.
