Vice President Mike Pence slammed Michael Wolff's book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," calling it "Washington fiction."

"I haven't read it, don't intend to read it. What I've heard about the book bears no resemblance to the president that I serve with every day. None. It just strikes me that it's another work of Washington fiction," Pence told The Wall Street Journal.

The vice president compared Trump to former President Theodore Roosevelt.

"I have never been around anyone in my life with his energy, with his focus, with his capacity to multi-task. I think that this building has not seen his likes since that one," Pence told the Journal, pointing to a Roosevelt portrait behind his desk.

Pence also criticized the book Monday in an interview with Dana Loesch.

"Excerpts that I've heard bear absolutely no resemblance to the president that I spend three, four, five hours a day with every day," Pence said.
