Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday said he takes “full responsibility” for classified documents ending up at his home in Indiana and pledged to cooperate with any investigation into how it happened.

“During the closing days of administration, when materials were boxed and assembled, some of which were shipped to our personal residence, mistakes were made,” Pence told Fox News in his first public comments since his office disclosed earlier this week that classified records were found at his residence.

“We were not aware of it at the time until we did the review just a few short weeks ago,” he continued. “But I take full responsibility for it, and we’re going to continue to support every appropriate inquiry into it.”

Pence said he’s “very confident” that he and his team were “very careful and cautious” handling classified materials during his time in Congress and as vice president.

Politicians NEVER take “full responsibility” for anything.

Nobody cares Mike.

Does this fool think this “Me too” mentality is going to identify him as a political bad boy? That this is going to help him in his run for the White House?

What a fool.

STFUASD

My reaction was “Oh shut up, no one wants to hear from you!”, but that works, too.

Who cares?

Trump was fooled by Mike Pence’s church deacon facade and so was I.

I’m guessing a cache of classified material is the ‘going away’ gift the intel community provides outgoing executive branch officials.

Still no word on when Obama’s office gets searched tho...

That's mighty White of Mike, mighty White.

Pence: ‘I take full responsibility’ for Jan 6, 2021 — a$$hole

[ronnie raygun]

just shut up mike, shut up, no one wants to hear from a back stabber

[MarMema]

Oh no. More????

This is a riot.

[webheart]

He’s using the passive voice like a guilty person ( mistakes were made, it fell, it broke, someone did something…. ). That is not accepting responsibility. It’s dodging responsibility. If he was responsible he should say so and own up to whatever mistakes he made. Otherwise it’s an empty gesture. I hope Trump doesn’t get him off the hook by saying he declassified the documents. It would be a waste of political capital. Backstabbing Pence.

Ok...same could be said for Pres. Trump and maybe(not likely) Pres. Joe Biden

“We were not aware of it at the time until we did the review just a few short weeks ago,” he continued. “But I take full responsibility for it, and we’re going to continue to support every appropriate inquiry into it.”

and when did we find out ?

[fhayek]

Exactly. If he is taking full responsibility, then, that means he would plead guilty to any crimes that resulted from his mishandling the documents. Garland should indict him, and then we would see if he is sincere.
