Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared on CNN on Sunday to discuss the January 6 Capitol protest.
Pence told CNN’s “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper that the FBI did not contribute to the January 6 Capitol protest and cheered the arrest of more than 1,200 Trump supporters.
“I’ve heard the many repeated assurances from the FBI that they were not involved, and I take them at their word,” Pence said.
Pence said he takes FBI Director Christopher Wray at his word that the FBI did not instigate the riot.
“I’ve seen the director of the FBI repeatedly assure the American people that the FBI were not the instigators of the riot that occurred on January 6,” Pence said to Jake Tapper on Sunday.
