Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke of the importance of the U.S. Constitution in bringing people together as he received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his actions on Jan. 6.
The big picture: The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation bestowed the honor on Pence for resisting pressure from President Trump and others to not certify former President Biden's 2020 election win following the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Whereas, the former President/current President pardons those who attacked the Capitol on that fateful day.
