'Not accurate': Outgoing RepLizCheney and Jan. 6 committee fire back at Former VP Mike_Pence after attack
The Jan. 6 committee countered former Vice President Mike Pence's disparagement of the panel as"partisan," insisting that it"respectfully" engaged with him.
The Select Committee has proceeded respectfully and responsibly in our engagement with Vice President Pence, so it is disappointing that he is misrepresenting the nature of our investigation while giving interviews to promote his new book. “I must say again: The partisan nature of the Jan. 6 committee has been a disappointment to me,” he told CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan. “It seemed to me, in the beginning, there was an opportunity to examine every aspect of what happened on Jan. 6, and to do so more in the spirit of the 9/11 Commission — nonpartisan, nonpolitical, and that was an opportunity lost.”
Pence later stood by his remarks in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, underscoring that"it’s not the first sharp elbow I’ve gotten on Capitol Hill."
