He added, “I don’t think the president should pardon anyone who assaulted a police officer at the United States Capitol on January 6.”

Per Mediaite:

Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke at the Dispatch’s Summit 2024 and made clear he opposes President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to pardon January 6 rioters – especially those who attacked police.

“At the end of the day, I’ll always believe that, by God’s grace, we did our duty [on January 6] to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America,” Pence said according to Dispatch on social media.

“I don’t think the president should pardon anyone who assaulted a police officer at the United States Capitol on January 6,” added the former vice president, who was forced to seek refuge that day with his family as pro-Trump rioters — some of whom were chanting “Hang Mike Pence” — breached the building.

“Karen and I are literally praying that President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance will stand on the commitments that they will make when they raise their right hands on that day. And with God’s grace and the support of the American people, I believe they will,” Pence added, expressing hope for the incoming administration.

Pence also lauded the GOP’s victory in last Tuesday’s election. “How about that new majority in the Senate and a renewed majority in the House?” asked Pence, according to Semafor’s David Weigel. Weigel noted that as “One guy” clapped, Pence told the crowd, “You can clap if you want.”

Check out what Yahoo News reported:

Former vice president Mike Pence, who became the target of a violent mob of Donald Trump supporters on January 6, 2021, said on Tuesday he does not think the president-elect should pardon rioters and prays that Trump maintains his commitment to the Constitution.

While speaking to an audience at the 2024 Dispatch Summit in Washington D.C., Pence, once again, said he does not think January 6 rioters should get a break, though Trump and his allies have described them as patriots who were wrongly prosecuted.

“I don’t think the president should pardon anyone who assaulted a police officer at the United States Capitol on January 6,” Pence said on stage per The Dispatch.

Pence added that he and his wife are, “literally praying that president-elect Trump and vice president-elect Vance will stand on the commitments that they will make when they raise their right hands on that day.”

A spokesperson for Pence wouldn’t confirm if that oath would include upholding the court rulings to keep January 6 convictions in place.
