Days before rioters roamed the halls of the U.S. Capitol threatening to 'hang Mike Pence,' Donald Trump told his vice president that people are going to 'hate your guts' and 'think you're stupid' if he failed to stop the 2020 election certification.
In this image from video, a security video shows former U.S. vice president Mike Pence being evacuated from near the Senate chamber as rioters breach the Capitol, on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol in Washington. Days before rioters roamed the halls of the U.S. Capitol threatening to “hang Mike Pence,” Donald Trump told his vice president that people are going to “hate your guts” and “think you're stupid” if he failed to stop the 2020 election certification.
At a pivotal moment during this week's debate between Vance and Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, Vance declined to say whether he accepted the results of the last election. In a stark retort, Walz said, “That’s why Mike Pence isn’t on this stage.” That weekend, as Biden was projected the winner, Pence tried to “encourage” Trump “as a friend” to consider all that he had accomplished.As the days went on, the campaign team was giving Trump what Pence described as a “sober and somewhat pessimistic report” on the state of the election challenges they were waging.
“For the first time, he mentioned to Pence the possibility of challenging the election results in the House of Representatives,” the filing said, citing a Dec. 5 phone call. Members of Trump’s campaign staff called the plan "crazy” and referred derogatorily to those organizing it as characters from the “Star Wars bar.”
But Trump would not relent. On Dec. 23, Trump retweeted “Operation Pence Card,” and began to “directly and repeatedly pressure Pence,” prosecutors said, and continued “summoning” his supporters to amass in Washington. This concerned Pence, the prosecutor wrote, and the vice president's Secret Service detail was alerted.
