Before a crowd of several hundred on the campus of the Des Moines Area Community College, Mr. Pence focused on something that many in his party have tried to desperately avoid: Mr. Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021.
6 was a tragic day in the life of our nation,” Mr. Pence said.
“But thanks to the courage of law enforcement, the violence was quelled, we reconvened the Congress.
The very same day, President Trump’s reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol.”He added: “But the American people deserve to know on that fateful day, President Trump also demanded I choose between him and our Constitution.
I chose the Constitution, and I always will.”
