Former Republican Vice President Mike Pence has said the media focus on the January 6 Capitol riots is a distraction intended to “demean” millions of supporters of former President Donald Trump.
The infamous riots, which saw five people die, have been high on the news agenda recently after Frances Haugen, a former Facebook employee, leaked thousands of pages of internal documents, and accused the social media company of helping fuel the insurrection by choosing to amplify hate and misinformation on the site.
In an interview with Fox News on Monday night, Pence was asked about his relationship with Trump, months after the pair reportedly fell out over the Capitol riots.
