Pence repeatedly praised the media's coverage of the January 6th attack at the dinner, which traditionally includes members of the Washington press corps among its attendees, and said he was able to carry out his role in certifying the election "in part" because of the media's real-time coverage of the insurrection. "We were able to stay at our post, in part, because you stayed at your post. The American people know what happened that day because you never stopped reporting," Pence said. "For what you do to preserve and strengthen this great democracy, you have my heartfelt thanks and I know the thanks of a grateful nation. Thanks for what you do to preserve freedom," Pence continued.
