I think he's just plain lying. He knows all this stuff. He's second in the succession line to the presidency. He can't just plug his ears and cover his eyes and pretend this stuff isn't happening. It's just an extra chickenshit way of avoiding answering questions.
Every one of these elected assholes took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, which they violate every time they kiss Trump's traitor ass. Fucking traitors.
