If Mike Pence had fully divorced himself from Donald Trump, he would have been direct with GOP votes about his role on January 6, 2021.
Kinzinger said that he had mixed feelings about the man.
He said that the people in the House were very helpful. I have a lot of ambivalence towards Mike Pence. He did what he was supposed to do that day. He did what was allowed.
I am having a hard time with him. He didn't say a word after January 6 because he thought he was a good man. He said he didn't have a right to overthrow the election. That was a big news. We were doing a lot of things that he knew how to do. He could have spoken to us. He claimed that the president put him at risk. Do you think it's more important to you? It's important to save some of the surprises for your book or country.
He wanted to know more about his role on January 6.
I would love to see Mike Pence run against Trump. It would be enjoyable to watch. I would like to know why you wait two years to discuss it. I'm aware of it. You were a faithful vice president, that's for sure. I don't think he should be blamed for things he disagreed with Trump and didn't speak out about.
If Donald Trump had fully divorced Mike Pence, he would have gone out and talked about it. I think he could be an alternative to Donald Trump even if the Republican base doesn't like him. He didn't know where he stood.
