Pence Denounces White House Jan. 6 Webpage as 'Very Offensive' and 'Deeply Wrong'

A taxpayer-funded anniversary webpage casts Pence as a coward, shifting blame to Capitol police.

Overview

  • In a CNN interview with Kaitlan Collins, the former vice president criticized the administration for using public resources to post its account of the riot.
  • Pence said the site wrongly faults Capitol Hill police for Jan. 6 and praised officers whose actions ended the violence.
  • The webpage’s timeline asserts Pence “didn’t have the courage” to block certification and labels his actions “sabotage.”
  • Pence brushed off Trump’s insult, noting the president first called him a coward five years ago and that he has no time for it.
  • House Democrat Nancy Pelosi also condemned the site after being singled out on it, recalling threats she received during the attack.
