In a recent interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, former Vice President Mike Pence defended his actions on January 6th, when he presided over the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral victory amid an insurrection at the Capitol.
Pence also criticized former President Donald Trump’s response to the riot, saying he was “disappointed” in Trump’s handling of the situation.
The interview came as Pence is reportedly considering a 2024 presidential run, and his comments may be an attempt to distance himself from the more controversial aspects of the Trump administration.
Carlson pushed back against Pence’s criticism of Trump, arguing that the former president was right to challenge the election results. The interview underscores the ongoing divisions within the Republican Party over Trump’s legacy and the events of January 6th.
