NBC News reports:
Former Vice President Mike Pence subtly defended former President Donald Trump in an interview Tuesday, hours after a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. “I would tell you, in my 4½ years serving alongside the president, I never heard or witnessed behavior of that nature,” he said. Pence was in Cincinnati to speak at a gala for the Center for Christian Virtue.
“It’s just one more instance where — at a time when American families are struggling, when our economy is hurting, when the world seems to become a more dangerous place almost every day — [there’s] just one more story focusing on my former running mate that I know is a great fascination to members of the national media, but I just don’t think is where the American people are focused.”
