Pence tried to contact Capitol officer Eugene Goodman to thank him

The officer who may have saved the life of Vice President Mike Pence could now be giving him the side-eye.

The cop hailed as a hero for leading a crowd of insurrectionists away from the Senate floor and potentially saving hundreds of lawmakers’ lives has, perhaps, left the vice president on read.

Vice President Mike Pence has reportedly reached out to thank Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman for his heroism on Jan. 6, but they have yet to connect.

A person close to the vice president, who will be leaving office on Wednesday, said Pence is “hopeful” the two will connect during his final attempts today.

Goodman was chased by a mob of pro-President Donald Trump rioters, and video footage shows him baiting a single man in front by pushing him in the chest. That man — Doug Jensen, who has since been arrested and charged in Iowa — and those behind him followed Goodman up another flight of stairs away from the unguarded door to the Senate chambers.
