Mike Pence at CNN Town Hall: No Pardons For J6 Participants, Trump 'Should Never Be President Again'
Bob Hoge


Former Vice President Mick Pence took the stage at a CNN Town Hall Wednesday on his 64th birthday in front of Republican voters in Des Moines, Iowa. Oddly, the event occurred on the same day that CNN chief Chris Licht is out at the network, in no small part because he backed a Trump Town Hall that caused the snowflakes at the “most trusted name in news” to openly rebel.

Pence, the former Indiana congressman, governor, and wingman to Trump, talked about Jan. 6, why he wants to be president, abortion, Ukraine, and a variety of topics in the 90-minute talk with host Dana Bash.
January 6

He once again stated that he thought Donald Trump was wrong to think that the vice president had the power to overturn the election:

    …I felt that he was asking me to choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution. And I always will.

    I said today President Trump was wrong then, he’s wrong now.

But then he leaned in even harder and said that his former Commander in Chief should never again occupy the Oval Office.

    Anyone who puts themselves above the Constitution should never be president in the first place. And anyone who asks anyone else to put themselves over the Constitution should never be president again.

Pence said that if elected, he would not pardon any J6 participants:

    You know, on the day of January 6, I issued a tweet demanding that people leave the Capitol. And grounds.

    I said that those that failed to do that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and I continue to believe that today.

Many Republican voters probably turned off the TV right then, even if they had bothered to tune in to CNN.
