"Mike Pence Condemns Trump's 'Unacceptable' Jan. 6 'Hostages' Rhetoric"

Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized Donald Trump for using the word "hostages" to describe people charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, calling it "unacceptable." Pence, who recently announced he will not endorse Trump, expressed disapproval of Trump's language and emphasized the seriousness of the events on that day. Trump, in a rally, referred to the rioters as "unbelievable patriots," prompting Pence to stress the tragic nature of the assault on police officers and loss of lives during the riot.
