I think a lot of people are taking this very literally and some are claiming I'm misleading people. For context, the top portion of the picture did not happen exactly like that. They each individually said that Pence did the right thing by essentially choosing the constitution and his oath of office over Trumps request that he violate it. There was no hand raising for that question. The second half of the image was when they were asked if they would raise their hands to indicate if they would support Trump if he were the nominee. I cropped out Asa Hutchison and Chris Christie who did not raise their hands. I'm getting some flack for that but whatever... It's a meme. I'm not a reputable news source or a reporter. I just made this because I thought it was ridiculous.

Basically. I guess if I ever consider going for a Pulitzer, I'll make damn sure my memes on Lemmy are 100% accurate.
