Former Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that he was “not yet convinced” that former President Donald Trump's actions on the day of, and in the lead up to, the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol were criminal.Former Vice President Mike Pence said he was “not yet convinced” of criminality when asked about the actions of his old boss, former President Donald Trump, on the day of and in the lead up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S.
“I've said many times that the President's words were reckless that day. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said on “As I traveled around New Hampshire I heard again and again from people about a deep concern about unequal treatment of the law,” Pence said. “That's why I said to people, if I'm elected president of the United States, we're not just going to have a new attorney general, we're going to clean house among all the senior leadership at the Justice Department and we're going to appoint men and women of integrity.
On Jan. 6, 2021, as Trump supporters marched to the Capitol on Trump’s urging and forced their way in, some chanted “Hang Mike Pence.” Pence’s wife and daughter were with him that day and had to be evacuated from the Senate chamber and hidden from the rioters.
“I think it’s a very dangerous thing to even talk about, because we do have a tremendously passionate group of voters, much more passion than they had in 2020 and much more passion than they had in 2016,” Trump said.“It doesn't worry me because I have more confidence in the American people and in the people in our movement,” Pence said.
