Pence: No, The FBI Did Not Instigate The Insurrection

“I’ve seen the director of the FBI repeatedly assure the American people that the FBI were not the instigators of the riot that occurred on January 6. And frankly I’m very grateful for the efforts of the FBI to bring nearly a thousand people to justice who ransacked our Capitol and did violence against police officers that day. I believe everyone that conducted that riot at the Capitol needs to be held to the fullest extent of the law. I’m pleased that many have.” – Mike Pence, rejecting the batshit claims made by Trump, top Republicans, and prominent cultists.
