Former Vice President Mike Pence told CBS’s “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that he’s “certainly seen evidence” that the current Trump administration is “whitewashing” the Jan. 6 attack. “I was offended on the anniversary of Jan. 6 when the White House put out a timeline that literally blamed Capitol Hill police for the riot that took place that day,” he added. <\/p>\n
MARGARET BRENNAN: Last week, at the request of the Department of Justice, a federal appeals court threw out the convictions of four members of far-right extremist group the Oath Keepers, that was a militia involved in January 6. Do you think that the Trump administration is deliberately whitewashing that day? MIKE PENCE: Well, I’ve certainly seen evidence of that, particularly I was offended on the anniversary of January 6 when the White House put out a timeline that literally blamed Capitol Hill police for the riot that took place that day. Look, I’m very confident that of the judgment of history in the years ahead about our role, about all the Republicans and Democrats who returned that day after Capitol Police secured the Capitol, and we all did our duty under the Constitution, but, but there’s clearly been an effort by some to rewrite that history, but I don’t expect it’ll work. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
