‘The View’ Co-Hosts Suggests Pence ‘Gets a Little Bit of a Pass’ on Classified Documents Because of Jan. 6

Former Vice President Mike Pence may deserve a “little bit of a pass” on reportedly taking classified documents to his Indiana home because of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to a co-host of ABC’s “The View.”

The co-hosts discussed the news that yet another high-profile former official had classified documents at their home.

“Does every ex-president and VP need to check around under their houses right now?” Whoopi Goldberg asked on Wednesday.

Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in as she said, “I feel like Pence does get a little bit of a pass because it was the insurrection, and it was ‘hang 👤Mike Pence.'”

“I completely understand that. And I’m not a Pence fan,” she added.

Goldberg appeared to agree with Hostin’s argument.

Co-host Joy Behar asked if she was suggesting Pence took classified documents on Jan. 6, 2021.

“I think maybe a staffer put them in there,” Hostin responded.

Goldberg suggested, “There might have been a box on his desk.”

Hostin then shared she thinks every president and vice president is now a “suspect” and added, “I would hate for President Obama to have some classified documents because they have been looking to tarnish this man’s legacy forever.
