Mike Pence took arguably his biggest jab at President Trump for the events that transpired on January 6th during Saturday’s Gridiron Dinner in Washington D.C.
The former vice president said history would hold Trump “accountable” for J6.
Pence firmly supported the fake news narrative that January 6th was a ‘violent insurrection.’
He called that day a “disgrace.”
“His reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know history will hold Donald Trump accountable,” Pence said.
“Tourists don’t injure 140 police officers by sightseeing. Tourists don’t break down doors to get to the speaker of the House,” Pence said in reference to reporting on the newly-released J6 surveillance footage.

Pence’s comments come after Monday’s J6 surveillance footage expose that obliterated the fake news narrative.

NPR reported:
Donald Trump was “wrong” on Jan. 6, 2021, and history will hold him accountable for it.
That was the message former Vice President Mike Pence delivered at a Washington, D.C., dinner on Saturday night, in what amounted to his most forceful rebuke to date of the former president.
Pence laid into Trump for his efforts to pressure him into blocking the certification of the 2020 election results on Jan. 6, when he told supporters near the White House that he hoped Pence would “do the right thing.” Protesters who later marched to the Capitol turned violent and stormed the building where the vote count was being certified.
“I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”

CNN added:
Pence chastised Republicans who minimized the insurrection, days after Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired new security footage from inside the Capitol on January 6 in an attempt to defend the mob.
“Make no mistake about it, what happened that day was a disgrace, and it mocks decency to portray it in any other way,” Pence said at the dinner.
Pence also said people “have a right to know what took place” during the insurrection, days after he asked a judge to block a subpoena for his testimony to the special counsel investigating the insurrection.
“The American people have a right to know what took place at the Capitol on January 6, and I expect members of the fourth estate to continue to do their job,” Pence said at the dinner.
The comments come after attorneys for Pence filed a motion last week asking a judge to block a federal grand jury subpoena for his testimony related to January 6. Pence had publicly signaled that he planned to resist the subpoena, arguing it was “unconstitutional and unprecedented.”

No we will hold you responsible for allowing this election to go forward to kill our nation. To put every American in harms way by allowing Biden and the swamp to become president. You are a coward and should be put in jail for treason against every American citizen because you didn’t do your job. Go hide in shame you and Jane Fonda are riding in the same boat and it leads directly to hell where you both belong. You are a fake Christian and a fake American. Gd bless America.
Pence the closet Democrat. January 6th was anything but an insurrection. The proof is already out there. All Democrat and Republican reps are still alive.
Why were Pence and Paul Ryan Allegedly conspiring to take down Trump before the 2016 Election? Tells me all I need to know about Pence.

Pence is a coward. Does he really think Biden is the most popular candidate of all time?
J6ers are today’s III%; they endured the Boston massacre all over again, and will go down in history as the last peaceful stand for democracy. They are heroic, and true American Patriots.
Well, There’s all the proof you need to know Mike Pence is just another lying Swamp Creature. He’s committed Political suicide.
Mike Pence has leaned too long on convincing everyone of the idea that he’s Christian, and therefore a good person. The truth, is that he’s neither Christian nor a good person. He’s a liar, two-faced, and his ideology is pro-leftist. These days he seems to be Satanic.
Never liked that Swamp Rat Pence and never trusted him. He’s gotta a Biden ego and a dislike for patriots. Kiss off, Pence. You can’t get more than 6 pts. in the latest polls. That’s pitiful.
Mike Pence was wrong and a coward on Jan. 6. All he could think about was his political career, not the good of our country and election fairness. Mike Pence should have made sure that election results were properly challenged that day, but he chose the easy way out. Now he wants to blame our beloved Pres. Trump for Jan. 6. Politically, I say his career is ended!
His “political career” is effectively over. He should ride off into the sunset
