A thread I've gleaned from eight conversations today with Trump advisers, White House aides & others in GOP: There is deep anger in Trump world at how Trump treated VP Pence. One described as "unconscionable." A second said they were "repulsed." Wide feeling he deserved better.
Trump never checked in on Pence after he was taken to secret location from vote. Tweeted negatively about him as the mob was already in the Capitol.
Whatever you think of Trump or Pence, there is no doubt Pence was unceasingly loyal to POTUS. Would not badmouth him privately to anyone, even allies or others in admin. Defended all sorts of things Trump did. But Trump turned on him because Pence said he had to follow the law.
Last tweet on this: Trump told others he was banning Marc Short, VP's chief and Trump's former legislative affairs director, from West Wing for telling VP he had to certify. But several aides say Short was never told whether he was banned or not. So he is coming to work!
