Supporters of President Donald Trump who stormed and invaded the Capitol on Wednesday reportedly intended to find and execute Vice President Mike Pence.
Reuters News Pictures Editor Jim Bourg revealed in a Twitter post that he heard “at least 3 different rioters at the Capitol say they hoped to find Vice President Mike Pence and execute him by hanging him from a Capitol Hill tree as a traitor.”
“It was a common line being repeated,” he added. “Many more were just talking about how the VP should be executed.”
A Twitter user later responded to the report, sharing a video of rioters chanting, “Hang Mike Pence!”

Oh they were going to do no such thing.
Wake up conservatives. This is now all a plot against you.
Fake News!
If anyone said that, they were one dozens of Antifa thugs wearing MAGA hats/gear.
conspiracy theory
Paid ANTIFA agitators who came to Washington DC led the demonstration astray. This sounds like their typical rhetoric.
These people also heard that Joe Biden would make a good
president.
I think we can attest to the value of what they repeat.
Oh wait...no they don't.
“Oh they were going to do no such thing.”
I wouldn’t count out anything that the anarchists who infiltrated might be capable of.
I’m sure Antifa would be among those who would mouth such slogans to get us into trouble.
Combined General and Maryland “Freak State” PING!
THIS
What was this idiot planning to do?
While I believe that most of the people there, even who had broken inside, had no intentions of hurting anyone, unfortunately when we see guys like this carrying restraint ties, it seems some people weren't playing around.
If GOPe just said bullshit it’s effectiveness would be ruined
But they are such cowards
Most likely that was Antifa or BLM talking. They usually bring their own stage props, like ‘nooses’. They play to stereotypes, saying things they think a Trump supporter would say. They also tend to make lots of death threats i.e. “Dead Cops!” as they march through a city breaking windows and lighting fires for no good reason.
Any side has a few loose screws, but I tend to think if some of that group were ‘looking for’ Pence, it would have been just to yell at him for a while. A few days before, Mitt Romney was surrounded on a plane by several MAGAs.
All they did was yell at him, call him a traitor.
No one was going to do any physical harm to Ann Romney’s 73 year old husband.
interestingly, L Lin Wood had up something that said like
they’re in
then mentioned firing squad
pence first
dont remember exact words
i wouldnt be surprised if the dead woman’s family thinks about suing Wood for roping her into his nonsense
That’s ridiculous. The media and Dem narrative is getting more insane by the moment.
The gallows with the noose was clearly a bit of theater (not the best, I agree) and I’m not even sure anybody knows who built it.
And we’re to believe people intent on hanging Mike Pence filed into the Capitol in an orderly line between the velvet ropes? And on top of that, they appear to have been following the police through the doors into the inner room.
and a pistol, or taser on the belt?
He’s probably undercover police. A DC Metro police officer who was working at the site said that he saw “demonstrators” flashing police or military ID at the on-duty Capitol police as they entered the building.
He thought this showed that the police were on the side of the demonstrators, but what it shows to me is that a number of “demonstrators” were actually police or other law enforcement personnel. Nobody else carries their own supply of zip-ties.
I may not necessarily want violence against Pence of Congress, but I really wouldn’t mind if they just went away (as in disappeared). The legislative branch might be the “voice of the people”, but it’s certainly the most craven of the 3 branches.
