The articles cover the disagreement between former US President Donald Trump and his former ally, ex-Vice President Mike Pence, regarding responsibility for the January 6th riots at the US Capitol.
Trump implied that Pence was partly to blame for the events because he refused to outlaw the electoral college votes in Congress, while Pence suggested that history would hold Trump accountable.
The Guardian reports that Trump stated the January 6th attack at the Capitol was Pence's fault, as if he had "sent the votes back to the legislatures", it would not have been a problem.
On the other hand, Vanity Fair argues that Pence's condemnation is not enough, as Trump should be held responsible now, rather than waiting for history to judge.
Furthermore, Pence refused to speak to the January 6 committee investigating the incident, and has also tried to avoid a subpoena from the special counsel investigating Trump.
Lastly, The Independent notes that Trump made similar comments to The Guardian, blaming Pence for the riots.
The ex-president stated that had Pence sent the votes back to states such as Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona, the outcome would have been different and there would not have been a January 6th incident.
In summary, while both The Guardian and The Independent focus on Trump's comments, Vanity Fair takes a more critical approach on Pence's actions, suggesting he has not done enough to hold Trump accountable for his role in the Capitol riots.
