Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) warned Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), that the GOP “tried to kill” former Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6 while he was certifying President Joe Biden’s victory.
“J.D. Vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket?” Raskin asked. “They tried to kill your predecessor. They tried to kill him because he would not follow Trump’s plan to destroy and nullify the vote of millions of Americans.”
Raskin cited Pence’s refusal to support Trump as a knock against him and heavily drew upon the Jan. 6 insurrection in which protesters sought out Pence in his speech.
