Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized former President Donald Trump’s lawyers for giving Trump the “wrong” advice in the run-up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Trump has repeatedly bashed Pence for not moving to decertify the 2020 election, something Pence was adamant he lacked the authority to do. When pressed about Trump’s recent assertion that Pence is to blame “in many ways” for the Jan. 6 chaos, the former vice president noted that at least one of Trump’s lawyers appeared to echo that sentiment.
“I know one of the attorneys that was advising the President said the same thing in a text on January the sixth but his attorneys were wrong,” Pence told Johnathan Karl in an interview for ABC’s This Week.
Last week, Trump responded as Pence has increased voicing criticism about Trump for the events of Jan. 6.
“Had he sent the votes back to the legislatures, they wouldn’t have had a problem with Jan. 6, so in many ways, you can blame him,” Trump told reporters last week. “Had he sent them back to Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, the states, I believe … you would have had a different outcome. But I also believe you wouldn’t have had ‘Jan. 6,’ as we call it.”
The former president suggests to reporters aboard his plane that the violence on Jan. 6 was Pence’s fault.
“Had he sent the votes back to the legislatures, they wouldn’t have had a problem with Jan. 6, so in many ways you can blame him for Jan. 6.”
