Pence says history will hold Trump responsible for the Capitol attack

President Trump was wrongMr. Pence, his former vice-elect, said in a speech at the Gridiron Dinner, a gala organized by journalists and attended by prominent political figures.

I do not have the right to cancel [le résultat de] The election. His reckless words endangered my family and everyone in the Capitol that day. And I know that history will judge Donald TrumpMr. Pence said in remarks reported by several media outlets.

Among the thousands of protesters who took over the Capitol in Washington on January 6, 2021, some have called for Mr Pence to be hanged, forcing Vice President Donald Trump to rush to safety.

These statements are sure to deepen the rift between the two politicians, who have been at odds since Mike Pence refused to support the former president in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election result and remain in power.

Donald Trump has already announced his intention to run for re-election in the 2024 presidential election, and Mike Pence has indicated he could challenge him for the Republican nomination.

I will wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly support the Republican presidential nominee in 2024…if that’s me.

Mike Pence’s blistering remarks about Donald Trump at the ceremony were unexpected.
