Vice President Pence calls for rioters to leave the Capitol building: CNN

Vice President Pence calls for rioters to leave the Capitol building

From CNN’s Allie Malloy with Nicky Robertson

After rioters stormed the US Capitol building, Vice President Mike Pence is now calling for an end to violence and for people to respect law enforcement and leave the building.

“The violence and destruction taking place at the US Capitol Must Stop and it Must Stop Now. Anyone involved must respect Law Enforcement officers and immediately leave the building,” Pence tweeted.

He continued: “Peaceful protest is the right of every American but this attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

He should have resigned yesterday and left DC. He wouldn't have had to deal with this today and wouldn't have to deal with pardoning Trump.
