targetWASHINGTON When a violent mob breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Secret Service agents hustled Vice President Mike Pence off the Senate floor and down a flight of stairs restricted to lawmakers and other dignitaries.
He left while rioters prowled the Capitol halls and chanted "Hang Mike Pence." Members of the mob later pawed through the mahogany desks in the Senate chamber and sat for pictures in Pence's chair on the rostrum.
The House committee investigating the attack will focus during its June hearings on Pence's key role presiding over the Electoral College vote count.
Rather than single-handedly rejecting electors from states then-President Donald Trump lost, as the president and his allies urged, Pence refused to interfere with or delay the count certifying President Joe Biden's victory while a mob ransacked the Capitol and threatened the vice president's life.

(27,393 posts)2. VP Potted Plant did do one thing right
But its not like he didn't try to get out of it first.
Will he do the right thing one more time, and testify?

(4,903 posts)3. Pence only loves (he said)
His God, his wife and his party.
Nothing about the nation.
Dont expect Pence to do the right thing by the nation, for that matter nor do I expect any in the GOP to care about the nation.
