An angry mob with baseball bats and pepper spray chanting “hang Mike Pence” came within 40 feet of the vice president. Mr. Pence’s Secret Service detail had to hustle him to safety and hold him for nearly five hours in the bowels of the Capitol. Mr. Trump called Mr. Pence a “wimp” and worse in a coarse and abusive call that morning from the Oval Office, Mr. Trump’s daughter and former White House aides testified. And a confidential witness who traveled to Washington with the Proud Boys, the most prominent of the far-right groups that helped lead the assault on the Capitol, later told investigators the group would have killed Mr. Pence — and Speaker Nancy Pelosi — if they got the chance.
If anyone posed a legitimate threat to Pence or any member of congress, they would have been taken down. I would bet on a trained and armed secret service agent over a moron with a bat and pepper spray any day of the week. Heck, the capitol police shot an unarmed woman because she was a perceived threat.
mobs cannot always be stopped with handguns. And it's not clear who was guarding pelosi and with what weapon.
it's just luck that the Republicans didn't get their hands on any politicians.
And these defenses....A right wing mob was out to kill the veep and speaker of the house and you are shrugging.
And he’s going to prison, right? when does the trial start? 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
this is a seriously weird defense.
'yeah the Republican Party attempted a violent coup but trump hasn't been indicted yet so I will mock the very concept of a coup despite the evidence.'
So they found out that the Republican Party was behind the violent coup???? II hadn’t heard this part. I thought it was just Trump. Are there other coded messages??? Tell me more. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

most of the Republican House delegation voted to overturn the election, yes.
almost all of the Republican senators voted to acquit in the impeachment
virtually the entire R party was working to overturn the election in the courts.
Almost no elected Rs tried to get trump to stop the coup

The mob came within 40 feet of the vice president, which means they came very close to finding his location. That was a very real threat.
If the mob found out where Pence was hiding then the whole thing would have played out much differently. The mob would have surrounded Pence's location and tried to block his escape.
The Oath Keepers "Quick Reaction Forces" may have been called in with their heavy armaments. We know they were on standby that day.
Or the secret service might have tried to shoot their way out immediately and flee the Capitol.

And it will be easy to tell which Republican lawmakers were deeply involved. Those are the ones who begged Trump for pardons. They knew they had broken the law and needed protection.
I mean Trump has to be guilty of some crime, right? He directed a mob to invade the capital. Whether or not it was a real attempt at insurrection is irrelevant, right? Isn't it a crime regardless? I know it doesn't really matter if he is, but I have to imagine that by the book, he's guilty of some crime.

have to be careful here...I think the crime he is accused of is broader than just the mob. It is the entire cycle of activities he did to overturn the election, culminating in the Republican attack on congress.

Wow! That’s going to be a lot of perp-walks. Maybe they should just make it a parade. 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉
So you see most of the House and Senate Republicans going down for this? 🍿🍿🍿🍿

He’s not getting out of this one without prison time, is he? 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

I gotcha. No interest in condemning trump and the R party for its activities after losing the election. Understood. Maybe now you understand why I call you and your party rubes and Jindal called the Rs the stupid party.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Labor Department announced inflation hit a 40-year-high. According to the data, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May was 8.6% higher than it was a year ago.
if you voted for Biden, you are an idiot. There is no other reason. 👎👎👎👎👎👎

Biden vigorously supported a $6 trillion spending bill that Joe Manchin saved the day and nixed it. Without Manchin's opposition to that bill inflation would maybe be around 12% now. American people are massively struggling now with $5 gas and record high inlflation and now baby formula and you have Mayor Pete talking about highways being racist. Could this adminstration be more of a clown show? Press secretary Karine Jean--Pierre can't even answer a question without spending 20 seconds looking through a binder. Come on Joe - get some competent people in there!

You’re now saying he IS going to get away with this? ❓❓❓❓ I wanted to see a Trump perp-walked more than anyone. 👍👍👍👍 So disappointing.

No doubt Manchin and Republicans saved Americans from financial ruin. We would have runaway inflation if not for the their bravery to stand up to Biden and the democrats. BBB would’ve pushed inflation into the teens. 💲💲💲💲💲
You're right about his track record for hiring competent people being atrocious. It all starts with Commala and goes all the way down. There has never been a more incompetent cabinet in history and the result is the sad state of America today. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Have you noticed whataboutinator doesn’t crow about “7 more years of Biden” anymore? Even he doesn’t want that now. 😂😂😂😂😂
