Former Vice President Mike Pence said Thursday night that he doubts that he and former President Donald Trump will ever see eye to eye over the Jan. 6 insurrection led by a mob of pro-Trump supporters at the U.S. Capitol.
In a speech to a Republican group in New Hampshire, Pence called Jan. 6 a dark day in the history of the United States Capitol, but thanks to the swift action of the Capitol Police and federal law enforcement, violence was quelled, the Capitol was secured and that same day, we reconvened the Congress and did our duty under the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
