Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday that “history will hold Donald Trump accountable” for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, one of the most forceful rebukes he has so far offered of his one-time boss. | Reuters
“President Trump was wrong,” Pence told assembled journalists and their guests at the Gridiron dinner, an annual white-tie event in Washington, D.C.
Pence, who is considering a run for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election, was whisked to safety by law enforcement during the attack. He has sharply criticized Trump’s conduct in recent media interviews, and in a memoir released in November, he accused Trump of endangering his family.“What happened that day was a disgrace,” he said. “And it mocks decency to portray it any other way. For as long as I live, I will never, ever diminish the injuries sustained, the lives lost, or the heroism of law enforcement on that tragic day.”A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside business hours.
