Capitol rioters who chanted"hang Mike Pence" appeared to be acting on orders"from above," according to a member of the Jan. 6 committee.
"It just struck me as so bizarre that you would have a pro-Trump mob outside, chanting against the vice president, and how would they know that Mike Pence was now the proper target of their wrath? How would they know that they were supposed to be mobilizing this effort against the vice president?" Raskin said during an interview on MSNBC.
On Jan. 6, Pence was at the Capitol to preside over the counting of electoral votes. Despite pressure from Trump, Pence did not try to send the results back to certain states Trump lost in November over claims of election fraud. In fact, he sent a letter to Congress saying he did not have the power to reject Electoral College votes, dealing a blow to Trump’s hopes to deny a presidential victory to Joe Biden.
