Former Vice President Mike Pence Tuesday said he has “great compassion for people who have been misled” about the results of the 2020 election.

Yet at the same time, he believes former President Donald Trump will always see the issue differently.

Pence was in Indianapolis addressing the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. The lunchtime program, “Navigating Faith in the Public Square,” offered Pence a platform in front of an audience of his fellow religious conservatives.

Pence referenced the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which took place as Pence was in the building, presiding over the counting of electoral votes.

He previously said Trump seemed “convinced” as early as December 2020 that Pence had the right to reject or return votes and that on Jan. 5, Trump’s attorneys told him “‘We want you to reject votes outright.”

“They were asking me to overturn the election. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

On Tuesday, Pence spoke of how his faith guided him during the process.

“We prayed all the way through it, and we decided that we were going to keep our oath. Psalm 15 says he ‘keeps an oath even when it hurts.’ I know something about that,” Pence said.
