While speaking at Saint Anselm College on Wednesday, Pence said he would consider the prospect should he receive a formal invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, he continued to justify his actions during capitol protest by saying he honored his oath under the Constitution. During the events of January 6, Pence chose to confirm Joe Biden as president despite the protests of 45th President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf there\u2019s ever any formal invitation rendered to us, we\u2019re gonna due consideration,\u201d Pence stated. \u201cBut my first obligation is to continue to hold my oath, continue to uphold the framework of government enshrined in the Constitution that created the greatest nation in the history of the world. We\u2019ll do that and we\u2019ll do that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pence then went on to voice his disappointment in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s (D-Calif.) decision to not allow Republicans to have a minority on the committee.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI must tell you that whatever the intentions of the January 6 Committee, I was disappointed when Speaker Pelosi broke tradition in the Congress, where I served for 12 years, and refused to sit Republican members that were appointed by the minority leader,\u201d said the former Vice President. \u201cSimply never been done. I mean, the tradition in the Congress is the majority gets a majority of seats on committees and the minority gets a minority of seats, and each side gets to pick who sits in those seats.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pence concluded by criticizing Republicans who called for the defunding of the FBI after their raid on Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago estate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI also want to remind my fellow Republicans, we can hold the Attorney General accountable for the decision that he made without attacking the rank and file law enforcement personnel at the FBI,\u201d he noted. \u201cThe Republican Party is the party of law and order. Our party stands with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line at the federal and state and local level, and these attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes amidst speculations of a possible 2024 presidential campaign from the former Vice President.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/democrats-weaponize-fbi-against-americans\/\">Democrats Weaponize FBI Against Americans<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence speaks at the National Press Club on November 30, 2021 in Washington, DC.
