Former Vice President Mike Pence expressed firm opposition to President-elect Donald Trump's plans to pardon January 6 rioters, particularly those who attacked law enforcement officers.
"I don't think the president should pardon anyone who assaulted a police officer at the United States Capitol on January 6," Pence stated at the Dispatch's Summit 2024, referencing the violent 2021 breach that forced him and his family into hiding as some rioters chanted, "Hang Mike Pence."
