In Departure From Trump World, Pence Says He’s ‘Proud’ Of Role Certifying 2020 Election
HuffPost
The former vice president said there is "no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president."
Former Vice President Mike Pence said Thursday that he was “proud” of his role in certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election on Jan. 6 after supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to prevent the Electoral College process from concluding. Pence made the comments during an event at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, on Thursday night, giving some of his sharpest departures to date from the rhetoric of Trump, who has continued to reject the reality that he lost the popular count by more than 7 million votes and the Electoral College tally by 306 to 232. “I will always be proud that we did our part on that tragic day to reconvene the Congress and fulfilled our duty under the Constitution and the laws of the United States,” Pence said as part of a series of talks featuring prominent Republicans, according to the Los Angeles Times. “The truth is, there is almost no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president.”
