Mike Pence told a gathering of Republicans in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Thursday night that he doubted he would ever see eye to eye with Trump about the January 6 insurrection.
Pence, speaking at a Republican dinner Thursday in the early-voting state of New Hampshire, gave his most extensive comments to date on the events of Jan. 6, when angry Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, some chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" after the vice president said he did not have the power to overturn Democrat Joe Biden s election victory.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has said he and former President Donald Trump would probably never agree on what happened regarding the January 6 riot in Washington, DC, involving Trump supporters.
“January 6 was a dark day in the history of the United States Capitol,” Pence said in a speech on Thursday to a Republican group in the state of New Hampshire, a venue for future presidential candidates.
“You know, President Trump and I’ve spoken many times since we left office. And I don’t know if we’ll ever see eye to eye on that day,” said Pence, who downplayed concerns about what happened on January 6 amid demands in Congress for an independent investigation.
