Former VP says ‘nothing more un-American than idea that one person could choose the president’ and he’ll always be proud of certifying results after Trump rebuked him
- Former Vice President Mike Pence said he was proud to certify the election results on Jan. 6, despite the disruption caused by the Capitol riot
- It was one of his most direct public departures from former President Donald Trump, who contests the results of the 2020 presidential election
- Pence was speaking to a crowd at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Thursday
- He still touted his and Trump’s record during their four years in office, comparing Trump to Reagan
- Pence rarely speaks about the events of Jan. 6 when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol
- The last time was June 3, when Pence said he would never ‘see eye-to-eye’ with his former boss on the events of that day
