Former US Vice President Mike Pence offered his most forceful rebuke to date of his one-time boss Donald Trump on Saturday, saying that history will hold him accountable for his role in the 6 January, 2021, attack.
Throughout the siege, Trump sent several tweets, one calling on Republicans to"fight" and others making false claims of voter fraud. He also criticized Pence for certifying the results.
"I had no right to overturn the election, and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable." He has rarely addressed January 6 in the months following the incident, but has since upped his criticism of the rioters and the behavior of his former boss that day.
Pence's relationship with Trump has been complex since the two left office, but the former vice president's comments on Saturday indicate he is willing to more forcefully distance himself from Trump as the 2024 campaign heats up.
