On Sunday, February 21, news broke former President Donald Trump would be appearing at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), an annual gathering of conservatives.

Shortly thereafter, reports emerged former Vice President Mike Pence—who had been invited to speak at the event—declined.

On Twitter, many suspected Pence decided not to attend to avoid giving Trump another opportunity to incite violence against him.



Pence's office reached out to several sources giving a more traditional explanation.


But most people online were skeptical of Pence's statements.



The internet isn't going to forget the January 6 insurrection any time soon.



Mike Pence likely still has some bad memories of his former boss.



CPAC is set to take place on February 25 in Orlando, Florida. It will feature former President Trump's first public appearance since leaving office.

Girl's Hilariously Iconic School Photos Have TikTok In Stitches After She Asked To 'Try Her Own Pose'

School picture day is one of those occasions that parents either plan for and get excited about, or ... absolutely dread.

And both are understandable, honestly. Parents are pressured to purchase expensive photo packages, while the pictures themselves often show their children looking less than stellar in a studio space with a photographer they've never met.

Saying goodbye to our loved ones and dealing with the grief of losing them is never easy, and pretending otherwise is probably not a good idea.

Former Disney star Calum Worthy wants to cash in on that, however. The actor may have once celebrated genuine friendship, music, and laughs during his time as Dez on Austin & Ally, but people are pretty convinced that he's gotten lost in the sauce, now that he's a co-founder for a very dystopian—and, dare we say, Black Mirror-infused—company.
