interrupted the counting of electoral votes in the 2020 election. <\/p>\n<p>The questioning by Carlson, who described the events of Jan. 6 as \u201cmostly peaceful chaos\u201d while at Fox News, underscored how Pence\u2019s break with former President Trump that day will be a defining feature of his campaign.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Many of Trump\u2019s supporters have never forgiven Pence, who was hanged in effigy that day, for his actions on Jan. 6, and it is a major problem in his quest for the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson opened his questioning of Pence by asking if the former vice president thought the attack on the Capitol was an \u201cinsurrection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I know for sure having lived through it at the Capitol is that it was a tragic day,\u201d Pence said at a Family Leader event in Des Moines, Iowa. \u201cI\u2019ve never used the word insurrection, Tucker, over the past two years, but it was a riot that took place at

Some of Carlson\u2019s former colleagues at Fox were among those who on Jan. 6 sought to get Trump to calm down the mob that had overwhelmed police and entered the Capitol.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<div class=\"nlp-ignore-block article-content rich-text\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apple.news\/T7zM9N_S2SDKHQ2PypEf8AQ?subscribe=1\">Sign up for the latest from The Hill here<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Trump criticized Pence on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> Jan. 6 for lacking courage as the then-vice president was being escorted to safety.<\/p>\n<p>Pence has been consistently polling in single digits nationally since entering the race, well behind Trump and Florida Gov.
