Story highlights "There's no question it's the right view," Pence said

Pence was not asked about whether he believed all Muslims should be banned from entering the U.S.

Washington (CNN) Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said Friday he agrees with Donald Trump's call to ban Muslims from countries with heavy terrorist activity from entering the U.S., a reversal from criticism he levied against the real estate mogul months ago.

When Trump first called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" back in December, Pence said the proposal was "offensive and unconstitutional."

Fox News' Sean Hannity asked Pence about the issue during an interview that aired Friday night.

"I am very supportive of Donald Trump's call to temporarily suspend immigration from countries where terrorist influence and impact represents a threat to the United States," Pence responded.

Pence added, "What I've heard from Donald Trump, and I believe the position he's articulated that resonates with millions of Americans, is that we've got to find out what's going on, and we've got to do something different, and we've got to put the safety and security of the American people first."
