Former Vice President Mike Pence commended leaders of both parties for working to certify the results of the presidential election on Jan. 6, 2021, in an interview airing Sunday on CBS' 'Face the Nation.'
Speaker of the United States House of Representatives
"I give credit to the leaders in both political parties that day ... There was a unanimous agreement that whatever needed to be done, we needed to reconvene the Congress," Pence told host Margaret Brennan. "I remember Speaker Pelosi telling me that she'd actually heard from one source that it could be up to three days before we could be back in the Capitol and to all of their credit, the Democrat and Republican leaders all said that was completely unacceptable," he added.
He recalled singing "God Bless America" with other members of Congress after the attacks on 9/11, and said he told other leaders on Jan. 6 he thought that sent the "right message" in a time of crisis.
