“We’ve been assured again and again that it was not the case,” said Pence.
“I just must tell you, having been there that day, to see people literally breaking windows, ransacking the Capitol, it just infuriated me. I remember thinking ‘not this, not here, not at the United States Capitol,’” he continued.
Pence insisted the attack “should never have happened. As I’ve said many times before, the former president’s words that day were reckless. I believe history will judge his role in that.”
“They simply need to look to the facts that the Capitol Hill Police endured great hardship and great harm,” added the former vice president.
Pence said the primaries “give our party a fresh start and give us new leadership to lead our party forward in the election and beyond.”
Additionally, he described the events of the attack and the aftermath, including his separation from Trump.
