Former Vice President Mike Pence said in an exclusive interview with ABC's "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir that former President Donald Trump's rhetoric was "reckless" as a mob of his supporters ransacked the Capitol last year -- with Pence and others temporarily forced into hiding.

"I mean, the president's words were reckless. It was clear he decided to be part of the problem," Pence told Muir.

Pence said he was "angered" over a tweet from Trump as the insurrection unfolded, when the former president said he "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done" after he rebuffed pressure to not certify now-President Joe Biden's 2020 victory.

"I turned to my daughter, who was standing nearby, and I said, 'It doesn't take courage to break the law. It takes courage to uphold the law,'" said Pence, who is releasing the memoir "So Help Me God" on Tuesday, told Muir in his first network TV interview since the insurrection.

In an exclusive interview at the former vice president's home in Indiana, Muir also pressed Pence on whether Trump should ever be in the White House again, whether Pence will run for president, whether Trump hurt Republicans in the midterms and what Pence makes of authorities saying classified documents were taken from the White House.

Pence was overseeing Congress' certification of the 2020 Electoral College results on Jan. 6, 2021, when a large crowd urged on by Trump marched to the Capitol and then overran security and vandalized the building, sending Pence and congressional lawmakers into lockdown.

"The president's words were reckless and his actions were reckless," he told Muir this week. "The president's words that day at the rally [before the riot] endangered me and my family and everyone at the Capitol building."

I hate Mike Pence but he did the right thing, and even did it when it put himself and his family in danger. And I do legitimately respect that. Still would never vote for him, but it's possible to respect people you don't like.

Same thing could be said for the entire GOP.

They're only talking shit about Trump now because the "far-left" isn't his only target anymore...

Pence literally tried to find out if overturning the election was legal. He asked Dan Quayle who was adamant that it wasn't.

More like the GOP is desperately trying to kick Trump off the ship.

Except he's clinging on for dear life and pulling apart the ship in the process.

I don't respect him, but I won't deny that he did know there was danger in coming back and he did so anyways to ensure things carried on and prevented nationwide panic regarding that in addition to the horrors being reported on at the capitol itself.

I reckon we'll get a lot more of these "I never liked Trump, and this is why..." stories now that the midterms have gone poorly for the republicans.

It's all a calculated attempt to distance themselves now they've seen how poisonous he is at the polls. This isn't anyone making a stand, or even saying what they've always believed. This is all about trying to stop his base from making him the candidate in 24.

They'll all be back to sucking up to him if he beats DeSantis in the primaries.

It's amazing how quickly most of the GOP, and their followers, have done a 180 on Trump in the last week since the midterms didn't go as planned.

Even two of his most widespread media allies, Fox News and the NY Post, are turning on him.

Cover of today's Post is "Deniers Denied" with a 3 page spread on how a lot of Trump's candidates and their rhetoric fell mostly on deaf ears.

I feel like we're about 2 years away from a full Trump Denial Syndrome being in full effect from all Republicans.

When leashing a rabid dog, you need to put a muzzle on him, lest he bites you. There is no directing it at your enemies and expecting him to not bite you. This is the bed the GOP made, when they decided power over ethics.
