I said I believe Trump meant it when he said Pence deserved to be hanged and I’m continuing to provide you evidence for that. You have yet to give any reason not to think he meant it, other than some supposed insight you have into the guy that also doesn’t have any corroborating evidence.stokesjokes wrote: ↑June 17th, 2022, 10:54 am Well, if you’re following the hearings, you’d know that Pence and his chief of staff disagree with you. They believed that the words and actions of Trump were going to put Pence in physical danger and that Trump knew that and knowingly continued.Did Pence testify? I wasn’t sure if his COS did or not. Did he think Pence was going to be hanged? Cause you said Trump was ok with Pence being hanged. Now you’ve backed waaaay off of it. I’m just waiting to see where you land other than Orange Man Bad
Pence’s COS testified, yes. So did his attorney. From that testimony and judge Luttig’s testimony yesterday, we learned that every person in Trump’s orbit knew that what he was asking Pence to do was illegal and seditious. Pence himself had repeatedly and demonstrably told Trump that he would not do it. Trump then mounted a public pressure campaign, including lies about Pence’s mindset on the issue to the public. Trump was warned that this could lead to violence against Pence. Trump proceeded, including tweeting against Pence during the riot, which was read over a bullhorn to further incite the crowd.
Now when you hear testimony that when informed that the same crowd was chanting “hang Mike Pence,” Trump replied with “he deserves it,” where in the world would you get the notion that he doesn’t mean what he says?
We also have Ivanka’s testimony of Trump screaming at Pence right before the riot, calling him a p*ssy. Ivanka said the conversation made her very uncomfortable.
But sure, he’s just playing, guys
And yes, orange man bad. He and his friend John Eastman tried to overthrow the government. There’s a pretty clear picture of that now.
