"Former vice president Mike Pence faced down an Iowa voter critical of his decision not to attempt to reject Electoral College votes on January 6, 2021 on Wednesday, urging her to “go read the Constitution.”
After a voter submitted that Donald Trump had actually won the 2020 presidential election and asked Pence if he ever second-guessed his decision on January 6, Pence said that he had done “exactly what the Constitution of the United States required” and kept his oath."
