Mike Pence: “I don't think Congress should be in the business of picking winners and losers.”

I will never minimize what happened on January 6, and I'll always believe, by God's grace, we did our duty that day to the seat of the peaceful transfer of power under the Constitution.

I mean, under the Constitution, the vice president’s role is only to preside over a session of Congress where the electoral college votes are opened and counted.

I welcome that settlement greatly.

It's deeply offensive to me that you could have a fund that could even possibly compensate people who assaulted police officers or vandalised the Capitol on January 6.
