In a speech Saturday night, former vice president Mike Pence delivered what amounted to his strongest rebuke of Donald Trump, criticizing the former president for his role in the lead-up to the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol as well as attempts to rewrite the history of that day.
“President Trump was wrong,” Pence said. “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.”
The former vice president was speaking at the Gridiron dinner, a white-tie event thrown by journalists in Washington, D.C. that this year featured speeches by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy in addition to Pence. The annual event tends to be a lighthearted affair, with skits and parody songs performed by members of the Washington press corps.

FUMP!
I'd rather have a root canal performed on me by a bikini clad Rosie O'Donnell....
Blinken, Murphy and Pence. Siunds like a shyster law firm. Pence is a friggen homoron.
It looks increasingly like a trap was laid by the FBI and DHS in the US Capitol on January 6th.
So if Mike Pence believes there was a threat to his safety on January 6th laying blame at Donald Trump’s feet is ludicrous.
Keep digging, Pence. You reveal more and more of your treasonous, morally bankrupt character.
That depends on who writes history.
What a liar on so many levels.
We were in a situation where we had video and other evidence of obvious and massive voter fraud. The Vice President had clout and should have spoken out instead of keeping mum, making no waves, and just doing nothing except being a go-along-to-get-along bureaucrat. Pence seems like a pod person and not a man.
A few hundred thousand of us answered the president’s call and showed up on January 6th. Those with power and a ready microphone did not show up. Even those appointed by Trump left Trump standing alone. And some helped the Leftist media’s narrative just has Pence did and does.
Keep digging’ mikee.
Pence is a grotesque man.
History is holding Trump accountable. It is exhonerating him.
He knows that he was never in danger. I’m beginning to think he was in on it.
Perfect!
Pence is one of those cases where Trump could have helped himself by self-censoring. Pence projects such a moralistic (prig) image that he gets support from a large number of conservatives. A more diplomatic statement of his disappointment in Pence would have helped Trump more, long-term. That opinion comes in spite of the fact that I never liked Pence and I adore Trump.
Donald Trump is no longer President. Pence is Judas. This is his opportunity to make some money. He's been a public servant his whole career so this is the first time he's seeing the dough.
Please clap...part deux
Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Mike Podhorzer, Nancy Pelosi and a cast of thousands who engaged in a massive conspiracy to commit electoral fraud are ENTIRELY responsible for January 6th.
And of course Chris Wray, Bill Barr and a host of other Trump appointees who participated in the coverup of the Steal and the ensuing covert instigation of the violence at the Capitol.
THAT is who bears responsibilty.
