Mike Pence took aim at Donald Trump over the weekend.
At a Washington DC dinner, he attacked Trump over January 6th.
Former Vice President Mike Pence made his most blistering comments yet about former President Donald Trump’s role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol during remarks Saturday evening at the annual Gridiron Club Dinner in Washington, DC.
Pence began his remarks at the dinner, which traditionally features politicians making jokes about notable Washington figures, with lighthearted comments about Trump, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and several Republicans expected to run for president in 2024, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
He then took a serious tone, noting the attack on the Capitol was “one thing I haven’t joked about” and calling January 6 “a tragic day.”
Pence rebuked Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack, saying he was “wrong” for claiming Pence had the authority to overturn the results of the 2020 election in his role presiding over Congress that day, saying “history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”
Trump responded by blasting Pence.
Trump said, “Had he sent the votes back to the legislatures, they wouldn’t have had a problem with Jan. 6, so in many ways, you can blame him for Jan. 6.”
Trump did add that he thought Pence was a “nice man” and that they had a good relationship until the end.
Former President Donald Trump fired back at former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday, saying the failure to proceed to debate on the 2020 Electoral College vote was the true cause of the Jan. 6 unrest at the Capitol.
“Had he sent the votes back to the legislatures, they wouldn’t have had a problem with Jan. 6, so in many ways you can blame him for Jan. 6,” Trump told reporters on Trump Force One, en route to his Monday night speech in Davenport, Iowa, The Washington Post reported.
“Had he sent them back to Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, the states, I believe, number one, you have had a different outcome,” Trump continued. “But I also believe you wouldn’t have had ‘Jan. 6,’ as we call it.”

“I guess he figured that being nice is not working,” Trump told reporters on the plane, according to the Post. “But, you know, he’s out there campaigning. And he’s trying very hard. And he’s a nice man, I’ve known him, I had a very good relationship until the end.”
Trump isn’t backing down!
