Pence says 'history will hold' Trump accountable for Jan. 6 in Gridiron speech
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/12/23 | Emily Jacobs

Former Vice President Mike Pence delivered his harshest rebuke yet of former President Donald Trump over the weekend for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Pence made the comments while speaking at the annual Gridiron Club Dinner, a white-tie event thrown by Washington, D.C. journalists and attended by high-profile Beltway figures. The exclusive soiree is known for politicians poking fun at each other and members of the D.C. press corps taking part in skits. This year featured speeches from Pence, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. The former vice president used the platform to issue his strongest criticism to date of his ex-boss as the two inch toward their anticipated 2024 rivalry.

“President Trump was wrong,” Pence told the hushed crowd. “I had no right to overturn the election. And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day. And I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable.” He is correct on this point. Since no state had the guts to send a competing slate of electors. However his job was to organize the various state legislatures (AZ, PA) to send a competing slate of electors. He failed to do that job.
