'Trump was wrong': Pence defends his actions on January 6

He should have asked that if her claim were true then does she think Kamala Harris should decide the 2024 results?

[democracyforever]

Pence should have told that woman also while you are sitting around listening to people lying to you about what I could do, pick up a copy of the US Constitution and read it. In addition, telling her that I am not going to violate the Constitution for Donald Trump or anyone else.

[cherylhelm]

I’m embarrassed for Iowa! Not all of us are like this!

[AndyM_YYY]

Defending yourself against insane people is a tough game.

[johnbiela]

It's not his actions on J6 that need defending. It's his cowardly actions after that day, that need defending. His family put in jeopardy by his boss and he continued to let boss get away with it. He wouldn't stand up for his family! How can you expect him to stand up you?

[captainsparkle-fingers]

That lady must've read Donald Crump's version of "The Constitution" because it doesn't say anything like what that woman is talking about🤔🙄

[krooner]

Nothing like a constitutional “lawyer” giving her opinion of what the constitution says. No wonder the US has a stupidity issue.

[ConstantGardener-qq]

Pence should have been articulating that from Day One and every day since. Instead, he equivocated for 2 years, allowing Trump’s disinformation for fester

[richrocketlll]

You know what is wrong? Mike refusing to go before the January 6th committee and telling what happened.

[thebrownthomascrown]

Why didn't he say that on Jan 6th??

I've had my fill of these GOP goons who are speaking years almost from 2020.

[johngodley]

Pence, the lord of the flies, he should have criticized Trump immediately after Jan 6.

[tejanoj]

Pence can say whatever he wants to try and save himself, it doesn't change that he lacks electability.

[kimberlyloe]

It just shows these people haven't read the constitution.

[demarawilliams]

Don't these people realize that if this was true any VP could of thrown the election results?

[_Cetarial]

Both the Left and the Right hates his guts, Pence needs to just go away.

[thespy]

Pence should have said to her: " In the upcoming Election, if it's a close race and Trump wins do you think it would be fair if Kamala Harris rejects your State's votes?" I would love to kniw her answer to THAT question.

[derrickharley]

And some of those folks still don't care what the Constitution says... let alone read it.

[goss]

Ask her if she'd be OK with Kamela Harris rejecting the election of a Republican candidate...

[SwiftJustice]

*ALL REPUBLICANS DO IS STAND IN OUR WAY*

[michaelccopelandsr]

You can officially refer to anyone still supporting Trump as, "Those who worship evil's might"
