Pence Backtracks On Impeachment Comments

On Monday, former Vice President Mike Pence said he didn’t think an impeachment inquiry should “ever” be started unilaterally and praised House Speaker Kevin McCarthy because he “made it clear that if there is to be an impeachment inquiry, he would submit that to a vote on the floor of the Congress.”
On Tuesday, McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden — but without following through on his pledge to put it up for a vote. So, Pence changed his tune, too.
“While I would have preferred that Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans take a vote on initiating an impeachment inquiry, I respect the authority and the right they have,” he said Tuesday evening in Waterloo, Iowa. “I defer to their judgment because I believe in the public’s right to know.”
