Former president Donald Trump said he considered it common sense for his supporters to chant Hang Mike Pence! during the Jan. 6 insurrection but that he never feared for his vice presidents safety.
Audio of Trumps comments to ABC Newss Jonathan Karl were published Friday by Axios in advance of a forthcoming book by Karl.
In the exchange, Trump again took issue with Pence for not intervening to change the results as he presided over the count of electoral college votes by Congress. The count was ultimately interrupted after rioters breached the Capitol and Pence was whisked out of the chamber amid threats on his life.
. . .
Because its common sense, Jon, Trump said. Its common sense that youre supposed to protect. How can you if you know a vote is fraudulent, right? how can you pass on a fraudulent vote to Congress? How can you do that?

office?

for the VPs key cards. Either a mole inside or someone gave them the order? Same goes for panic buttons. Very strange indeed.

He said he would only go with certain agents he knew and trusted.
I think this confirms your theory.

(53,031 posts)9. It's hard to imagine SS siding with Trump
after he killed so many of them. I suppose anything is possible.

when he got to the WH.
Not hard to imagine that some SS agents have gone rogue.
