That Pense’s secret service agents were calling home to tell their families that they might not be coming home because they’d be dead speaks volumes.

[toddb]

Thank GOD that Vice President Pence had the integrity to do the right thing.

[janefreda]

It's not gray at all. The job description of the President does not include involving himself in certifying elections or changing election boards. Period full stop.

[kisha]

This guy is stonewalling😡 what Trump did was disgusting

[Burgermonster]

It's NOT a grey area Marc! Please grow a spine.

[BongFullOfSnakes]

Never forget 9/11 and Jan 6 happened under republican presidencies.

[cantbeserious]

Not gray at all. Stop trying to straddle the fence. NONE of this 💩 is in any way related to trumps role as president.

[ImListeningToReason]

Judge Luttig is who saved democracy. Pence just followed the guidance given.

[smokeykitty]

"It's a gray area". THAT is the problem. Still protecting trump.

[davidallen]

Marc Short is "proud of they work we did during the Trump Administration"...except for the part where his boss was almost killed by a Trump-inspired mob. What a waffling weasel.

[richardblock]

Hey, he's come up Short when it comes to you know, democracy and honesty.

[patrickmurphy]

Why didn’t Pence call for a rule 25 on Trump? Four years later you still can’t ask the tough question

[STmgmt]

This is probably one of the most chilling interviews I've heard about Jan. 6. The fact that the Secret Service was this close to opening fire to protect Pence is remarkable and solidifies even more how dangerous Trump is.

[jwaimlelsi]

Amazing that he is sitting upright without a SPINE!

[lillyfitzgerald]

He didn't answer your very first question??

[brendab]

I guess he’s normalizing this behavior.

[ycxoney]

I’ve not agreed with most of Mike Pence’s political views but I never doubted his patriotism. 🇺🇸💙💙🇺🇸

[cherylklaver]

Mike Pence does not deserve a gold star for doing his job. Mike Pence does deserve a gold star for not endorsing Trump. Vote 💙💙💙

[realpirate]

The electoral college system is deeply undemocratic . One human, one vote . Reform, Americans .

[johndowner]

Americans should not forget January 6 ✌️🇺🇸
