Mike Pence Slams Trump for Using Force in L.A. After Pardoning Jan. 6 Rioters

Former Vice President Mike Pence has criticized former boss President Donald Trump for using force against anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protesters after pardoning Jan. 6 rioters.

“We simply cannot allow or stand by while people in the midst of protests assault law enforcement officers,” Pence told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday. “[That is] one of the reasons I thought the President was wrong to pardon people who assaulted police officers on January 6th.”
