Former Vice President Mike Pence, long written off as no longer viable within the Republican Party after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack, has recaptured the party's attention in the wake of Tuesday's bruising midterm results.
, which ran not long after Election Day came to a close, Pence revealed multiple new details about his direct interactions with former President Donald Trump in the weeks leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
“’You’re too honest,’” Pence said Trump told him. “‘Hundreds of thousands are gonna hate your guts. . . . People are gonna think you’re stupid.” Pence aides and advisers have long said the former second-in-command to Trump would never reveal the private conversations both men had during their four or so years working together. But after months of sharing little of his feelings about the Capitol attack and Trump’s persistent targeting of him, Pence has been slowly revealing more and more, leading up to the publication of his memoir next week.
In the excerpt, Pence delivered a gripping account of Jan. 6, including him jabbing his finger at his Secret Service detail and demanding they not leave the Capitol and that they walk calmly to a secure location, even as rioters bore down on Pence and his team.
