In an interview with The Washington Post, Pence said that Trump "engaged in a dereliction of duty" on January 6th by refusing to call off the mob of his supporters who were storming the Capitol.

Pence's comments have also been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised Pence for his courage in speaking out against Trump, while others have criticized him for not doing more to stop the attack on the Capitol.
Only time will tell whether Trump will be indicted for his role in the January 6th attack. However, Pence's comments have made it clear that he believes Trump should be held accountable for his actions.
What does this mean for the future of American democracy?
Pence's comments are a significant development in the ongoing debate about the future of American democracy. They suggest that even former vice presidents are willing to speak out against former presidents who they believe have overstepped their bounds.
This is a positive development for American democracy. It shows that our system of checks and balances is still working, even in the face of unprecedented challenges.
However, it is also important to note that Pence's comments are just one part of the story. The January 6th attack was a complex event, and there are many different factors that contributed to it.
It is important to remember that Trump is not the only person who bears responsibility for the attack. There were many other people who helped to incite the mob, and they should also be held accountable for their actions.
Only time will tell what the long-term consequences of the January 6th attack will be. However, it is clear that this event has shaken American democracy to its core.
We need to have a serious conversation about the future of our democracy, and we need to find ways to prevent something like this from happening again.
