“Former Vice President Mike Pence said he believes “there were irregularities” in the 2020 election, but felt that his decision to not overturn the results was part of his “oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
In an interview partially released Wednesday with CBN’s David Brody, Pence would not say that the election was “rigged” or “stolen,” but said, “I believe there were irregularities about which I was concerned, and I wanted them to have a fair hearing before the Congress.”
While some in the conservative movement are angry at Pence for not voting to overturn the results of the election, the former VP said, “I’ve been very moved at the level of support that I’ve been met with.”
“Ours is a movement that cherishes the Constitution,” Pence stated, believing that he performed his constitutional duties as Vice President on Jan. 6 – a day he calls “tragic.”
“From the founding of this nation forward, it’s been well established that elections are to be governed at the state level and that the only role that Congress has is to open and count the electoral votes that are submitted by states across the country,” Pence explained.”
