Former Vice President Mike Pence accused the media of covering the January 6 insurrection, a violent attack on Congress and on him personally, to “distract” from the Biden administration and “demean” all Trump voters.
“I know the media wants to distract from the Biden administration’s failed agenda by focusing on one day in January,” Pence said in a Monday night interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
“They want to use that one day to try and demean the character and intentions of 74 million Americans who believed we could be strong again and prosperous again and supported our administration in 2016 and 2020,” he added.
“For our part, I truly believe we ought to remain completely focused on the future, and that’s where I’m focused,” Pence said in what may have been a nod to his 2024 presidential aspirations.
