While he oversees a government that enforces punitive actions on speech. Guess which action is more important?

He oversees almost nothing. The VP has no constitutional powers except to tiebreak the senate and succeed the president.

That's like saying Stephen Miller has no power. Technically no, but he is running the show.

Him and the people that backed him are the machine behind of all of this.

And yet coming out against this would carry significant weight.

He was picked specifically because he will never go against his boss, for any reason. That's why he is there.
