Pence's Surprising Response to Trump's Controversial Remarks Leaves CNN Anchor Stunned

Former Vice President Mike Pence expressed confidence in the American people and dismissed concerns about the "dangerous" MAGA voters who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection, stating that they are patriotic, law-abiding individuals who would never engage in such actions. CNN anchor Dana Bash was stunned by Pence's nonchalance, especially considering the threats he faced during the event. Pence defended the Trump supporters, refusing to classify everyone at the Capitol as perpetrators of violence. However, he did not comment much on Trump's potential criminal involvement in the insurrection, stating that while his words were reckless, he is not yet convinced they were criminal.
