Pence: There's 'clearly' been an effort to 'rewrite' Jan. 6 history

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday said there has “clearly” been an effort to “rewrite” the history of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

“Look, I’m very confident that of the judgment of history in the years ahead about our role, about all the Republicans and Democrats who returned that day after Capitol Police secured the Capitol, and we all did our duty under the Constitution … but there’s clearly been an effort by some to rewrite that history, but I don’t expect it’ll work,” Pence said during an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

The former vice president pointed to a post made by the White House that blamed the Capitol Police and Democrats for the insurrection.

“I’ve certainly seen evidence of that, particularly, I was offended on the anniversary of January 6 when the White House put out a timeline that literally blamed Capitol Hill police for the riot that took place that day,” he told anchor Margaret Brennan.

include Pence, Tillis, and Massey.

It's not a large number. Did I miss anyone?

Along with millions of others it was heartbreaking. Truly. What we once were, we are no longer. May we find our way back as fully as we can.

I was streaming the coverage.

I don't have that phone anymore but when the Dem Convention showed images & footage I screen grabbed some of that.
