Former Vice President Mike Pence defended his actions on Jan. 6, 2021 speaking with voters on Friday, saying he believed it was time to "restore a threshold of civility in public life." During a series of town hall forums presented by USA TODAY, the USA TODAY Network and Seacoastonline in Exeter, New Hampshire, he drew the ire of his former boss, former President Donald Trump by refusing to help overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. "Jan. 6 was a tragic day. I was there," Pence said. "I'll always believe by God's grace I did my duty that day to support the Constitution of the United States."
