With weeks left before the panel&#8217;s likely dissolution ahead of the new Congress, the former vice president was adamant that the committee &#8220;has no right&#8221; to his testimony. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must say again: The partisan nature of the Jan. 6 committee has been a disappointment to me,\u201d he told CBS <i>Face the Nation<\/i> moderator Margaret Brennan. \u201cIt seemed to me, in the beginning, there was an opportunity to examine every aspect of what happened on Jan. 6, and to do so more in the spirit of the 9\/11 Commission \u2014 nonpartisan, nonpolitical, and that was an opportunity lost.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Jan. 6 committee reiterated its praise of Pence. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Select Committee has consistently praised the former Vice President\u2019s refusal to bow to former President Trump\u2019s pressure to illegally refuse to count electoral votes on January 6th. But his recent statements about the Select Committee are not accurate,&#8221; the panel added in a tweet. <\/p>\n<p>Pence later stood by his remarks in an interview with CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper, underscoring that &#8220;it\u2019s not the first sharp elbow I\u2019ve gotten on Capitol Hill.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe principle itself was offensive to me,\u201d Pence said to CNN. \u201cI thought the missed opportunity with Jan. 6 was we could have proceeded in a way that was above politics.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Pence has been promoting his new book, <i>So Help Me God<\/i>, which hit bookstores earlier this week. During his media tour, he recounted the pain of the Capitol riot and contended that the GOP probably has better options than his old boss, former President Donald Trump, who unveiled his 2024 campaign on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Notably, House Republicans had sacked a 9\/11 Commission-style inquiry into the Jan. 6 riot, which prompted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to form the select committee.
