The former Vice President also pledged to "never, ever" downplay the violence that law enforcement officers suffered at the hands of rioters at the Capitol. "For as long as I live I will never, ever diminish the injuries sustained, the lives lost, or the heroism of law enforcement on that tragic day," Pence said. Pence also made jokes at the expense of the former President at the dinner, which traditionally features politicians taking the opportunity to make light of Washington figures from both parties. Pence said during one of his jokes, "I think (Trump) and I are on very good terms." "I mean, he's never called me a low-energy moron. Not yet," he continued.
