Former Vice President Mike Pence defended his role in refusing Donald Trump's demand that he send back votes in an interview on the same day the House January 6th committee played video of an aide who said Trump called him a 'p****.'
Pence, who has not appeared before the committee, spoke as his former counsel Mark Jacob and former chief of staff Marc Short testified that they and Pence from the get-go a legal theory that the vice president had unilateral authority to reject certified votes.
Trump and a circle of advisors was clinging to that theory until the last days of his presidency, and saying both publicly and online January 6 that Pence lacked 'courage.'

I expect his poll numbers to look about like Biden’s, if not worse.
Pence/Cheney 2024!
Is he that out-of-touch to think he has a remote chance even in the primaries?
He’s going to need more money than Yeb!
Mike Pence is a sell out. I don’t fault him for doing what he did. In retrospect, he should probably had shut up about it. Or passed the ceremonial role to Patrick Leahy. Also, he didn’t have to go to Joe Biden’s inauguration.
I guess Pence is the “Joe Biden” for the RINOs in 2024. They will desperately need a WEF-approved candidate.
Liz Cheney will vote for him... if Daddy approves.
Hey Pense, President Trump delivered; you were just along for the ride and couldn’t even handle the kungFlu program of which you were put in charge. And you skived off when it counted on Jan 6th.
I like Pence personally. He’s a good man and says so much of the right things. Unfortunately, when it comes to actually moving the ball down the field, he’s kind of a ‘wimp’ and ‘p***y’.
Does he really think he can win with 2-3% of the vote?
I can’t wait for the debates to begin next summer.
Daily Mail assembling a circular firing squad. To the extent that this feud is personal, it needs to end.
Someone clap. Please!
Mike must be doing this for Miss Karen.
It cannot be easy speaking publicly about what lead up to that day, and his direct part in the situation.
He probably rehearsed his speech at home in the bathroom mirror.
Just don’t mike.
We think you are a fool.
Don’t prove it.
pence had his chance to be remembered forever... he chose poorly.
all he had to do is say with the irregularities and suspicions of impropriety, i am sending these electors back to be reviewed to reinforce our commitment to a free and fair election.
Designed loser.
Just like Romney, McCain and Dole
Good question.
Delusional.
