Former Vice President Mike Pence distances himself from Jan. 6 riots

Former Vice President Mike Pence has not yet addressed last week's public hearings on the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Former President Donald Trump slammed his vice president over the weekend for certifying the 2020 election results. CBS News' congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane has more on this week's hearings and CBS News' chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa joins Vlad Duthiers and Anne-Marie Green for more on the divide over the Jan. 6 riots in the Republican Party.

The day that #45 goes to prison will be when my faith in our system is restored.

No moving forward until ACCOUNTABILITY for Jan 6th. Democracy depends on it

It would have been nice, if he had grown a spine a few years ago.

Kinzinger is right and he's someone who should be listened to. I disagree with his stance on lots of things but he's at least a decent honorable man that can see what everyone can see and call it out regardless of what political party you are for.

Part 2: When Trump was first elected president of the US in 2016, I felt very sick physically and emotionally, my heart was feeling pain, and I was feeling nauseous. I've always known, from the very beginning, that Trump being president of the US would be trouble, and he, unfortunately, proved my intuition and discernment to be true. And now, because of him, a lot of damage has been done, and I'm not sure that any president, present and future, will be able to undo what Trump has done; especially what happened on 1/6, that was a major damage that can never be undone. All that's left now, is for healing to take place, and to prevent 1/6 from ever happening again.

Pence should just RETIRE FROM POLITICS entirely

[fastnbulbouss]

Liz Cheney should run for the presidency under a new republican party. She would split the votes for Trump...or whoever is running . Would also sink the GQP....

[Steve-gcnt]

I've seen enough. Lock him up. Toss away the key.

[TheSapphire]

That guy trump need to be prosecuted asap.

[CultureoftheWorld]

Pence is torn : the party he supports doesn’t support him

[suefoley]

Pence's silence and absence from hearings bears a similarity to intimate partner violence survivors' refusal to report and draw attention to harm sustained in order to avert future harm

[Nrdyb]

Then this whole “big lie” thing has been Trump being weak and sniveling! 😭😭 Trump: “I didn’t lose, they cheated! I am a wiener, I won bigly!” 😖😤😫😭😭

[robwasilewski]

It's disgusting that someone threatening a woman and a 5 months old child.

[nofascist]

These threats need to be token seriously, investigated and prosecuted. Any threats!

[luisirizarry]

SOMEONE SHOULD FILE A COURT ORDERED PETITION THAT WOULD FORCE TRUMP TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM MAKING ANY AND ALL ALTERNATIVE FACTS/COMMENTS ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ITS ELECTION AND ELECTORAL VOTES

[jonelson]

So subconsciously Trump must see himself as the ultimate loser simply because he's been whining and sniveling since 2016. 🙄

[trebm]

Pence can't be serious in trying to become the candidate for the current GOP...

[ronque]

Pence is living in a dream world and just doesn’t wanna wake up. Trump has a stranglehold on the party. Milk toast Pence isn’t gonna wrestle that away. His best shot is to talk about Jan 6 so Trump can’t run, but he’s too spineless to do that. Catch 22 of a jellyfish.

[parrissmall]

How can the DOJ: allow Trump to go around the country , and keep spreading his big lies????

[robertharrison]

First it was stolen and now it’s rigged.
