Mike Pence Defends Donald Trump But Says They’ll Never “See Eye to Eye” on January 6

HeadlineJun 04, 2021

Mike Pence is defending his record as vice president under Trump — even while offering limited criticism of the former president. Speaking at a dinner hosted by New Hampshire Republicans on Thursday, Pence called January 6 a “dark day in the history of the United States.”

Mike Pence: “You know, President Trump and I have spoken many times since we left office. And I don’t know if we’ll ever see eye to eye on that day, but I will always be proud of what we accomplished for the American people over the last four years.”

The New York Times reports Trump has been telling people he expects to be reinstated as president by August.
