“The President’s words that day at the rally (before the assault) put me, my family and everyone on Capitol in danger”Pence told the US channel ABC, referring to the speech Trump gave before his supporters attacked the headquarters of Congress.

Pence, who was on Capitol Hill overseeing the certification of the 2020 election results, had to hide from the assailants, like many Republican and Democratic congressmen.

Trump refused to ask his supporters to leave the building on January 6 and even claimed in a tweet that his vice president “has not had the courage to do what he should have done” to keep him in office by blocking certification.
