Former Vice President Mike Pence joins "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan two days after he said he wouldn't endorse former President Donald Trump for president in 2024. While Pence said his differences with Trump go beyond Jan. 6, he did note that was among the reasons. Pence called Trump's rhetoric "unacceptable" around those imprisoned over Jan. 6. "I think it's very unfortunate at a time that there are American hostages being held in Gaza, that the President or any other leader will refer to people that are moving through our justice system as hostages," Pence said Sunday on "Face the Nation." "It's just unacceptable." Watch Brennan's interview with Pence here. Plus, in the House bill on TikTok, watch Brennan's interview here with Reps.

Former Vice President Mike Pence calls Trump's Jan. 6 hostage rhetoric "unacceptable"  Former Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that former President Donald Trump's recent rhetoric about individuals facing charges related to their involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol are "unacceptable." "I think it's very unfortunate at a time that there are American hostages being held in Gaza, that the President or any other leader will refer to people that are moving through our justice system as hostages," Pence said Sunday on "Face the Nation." "It's just unacceptable." At an Ohio rally on Saturday, the former president took the stage to a song said to have been recorded by a choir of prisoners facing Jan. 6-related charges. Trump called the individuals "hostages," noting that they have been treated "terribly" and adding that "we're going to be working on that soon."

Supreme Court to hear free speech case over government pressure on social media sites to remove content  The Supreme Court on Monday will be weighing whether the government crossed a constitutional line into censorship of lawful speech when it pressured social media platforms to take down content it deemed misleading. The case poses a significant test of the First Amendment's free speech protections in the digital age and stems from the Biden administration's efforts to pressure social media platforms to remove content that it said spread falsehoods about the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election. The Supreme Court is set to consider at what point the federal government's attempts to protect against misinformation on social media cross into censorship of speech that is constitutionally protected.
