“The words the president said at the rally that day (before the attack) put me, my family, and everyone on Capitol Hill in danger,” Pence told ABC.
Pence, who was on Capitol Hill to oversee the confirmation of the 2020 election results, had to hide from bullies like many Republican and Democratic congressmen.
Trump refused to ask his supporters to leave the building and even blocked the certificate, claiming in a tweet that the vice president “didn’t have the guts to do what he had to do” to keep him in office.
“I was angry,” Pence said when asked about the tweet.
“The president’s words were reckless,” he added.
It is believed that Pence will be the primary candidate in the next presidential election.
On Tuesday, the day Trump prepares to announce his 2024 candidacy, Pence will publish his memoirs describing, among other things, the pressure he has suffered to cancel the results of the 2020 presidential election.
